For students of Islam, Crone needs no introduction. Her scholarship has marked the field through its erudition as well as its distinctive boldness and controversial nature that, at times, drew virulent criticism. Perceived by some as arrogant and hasty, by others as incisive and daring, she was not one to mince words. This volume, starting with an intimate “memoir” by Judith Herrin and concluding with an appreciative scholarly review by Chase Robinson, tends to overlook Crone’s divisive personality and does much to present her as an ideal academic and mentor. She was, as the editors lyrically phrase it, a “seeker and lover of truth.” ...
