The Ayyubid and Mamluk periods were some of the most intellectually fecund in Islamic history. Megan H. Reid's book recovers the stories of medieval men and women who were renowned not only for their intellectual prowess but also for their devotional piety, uncovering previously unseen trends in voluntary religious practice.
