- Majnun: The Madman In Medieval Islamic Society
Michael W. Dols – Clarendon, 1992 - xv+ 543 pp. - £55
Michael Dols was a social historian of the Islamic world who became interested in the history of medicine. At his death in 1989 he left an almost completed manuscript on madness that has been carefully seen through the press by Diana Immisch. It makes a large book, worthy of the large subject it treats.
