Muhammad and The Jews — Page xii
i shouid not wish this book to go out without an expression of gratitude to Professor Arthur Delbridge of Macquarie University, Australia, for his help in reading and correcting the manuscript of this work. l am indebted to my daughter, Sarah, for her editorial assistance. She helped me with references, notes and specially German and Hebrew texts. Her criticisms removed ambiguities of language and argument. Finally I have to thank Prof. Lois A. Giffen, who has spent much time-which she could ill afford-in first pointing out discrepancies in the manuscript and then correcting the proofs of the book. I am grateful to Prof. John S. Badeau and Prof. Howard Wriggins who provided me with an opportunity of working in the pleasant, some- times provocative, but always sympathetic environment of Columbia University.
