“This new edition and translation is a formidable work of scholarship. In addition to a readable version of a complicated text. Segal offers the reader invaluable editorial help in negotiating these exotic tales: his extensive set of analyses of Alharizi’s introduction and the fifty ‘Gates’ (or sections) could constitute a separate monograph… A meticulous and accoplished work that will reward the general reader as well as scholars”
