Publisher's Synopsis

Rifa'a Rafi' al-Tahtawi (1801-73) was one of the most extraordinary scholars of his age, and the first Muslim to try to incorporate Western ideas and innovations into his native society. In spite of all this, it is surprising that many aspects of his works and thought remain under explored. This work addresses this neglect
