Berlin / Boston: Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2015. First edition. Hardcover. Quarto. xiii, 608pp. Original green boards with black and white lettering on cover and spine. Volume 28 in the series Studies in the History and Culture of the Middle East. An analysis with special consideration of written sources from the pre-modern time (600-1500).
'The original source of this study is an extensive collection of material from the estate of the known Basel academics specialist Fritz Meier (1912-1998), who dealt in depth with the essence of ghosts in the Islamic sphere... The study concerns itself in two ways with F. Meier's compilation. On one hand, like F. Meier's compilation, it concerns itself predominantly with sources from the pre-modern time (ca. 600-15500). On the other hand, here too, textual documents from the so-called Great Tradition are the focus.' (Introduction). Contains appendices, bibliography and an index at rear.
