摘要

You may find the all revealing sentence of and about the book under review here on page 210:"But if calling his [sc.caliph al-Ma'mūn's] impulse ‘antiquarian’ helps us understand it,then by all means let us do so." The here clearly formulated disappointment of the contributor,Michael Cooperson,about the negative opinion on the caliph’s journey to Egypt and his visit to the pyramids in recent research as a kind of robbery tour-something he convincingly argues against in his article (pp.201-211)-can also be read as a judgment on the concept of this article collection:Let us call it "antiquarianism",if we have noother word for it.
