Studies in Old Ottoman Criminal Law

This volume of Studies in Old Ottoman Criminal Lazoby the late Uriel Heyd, Elath Professor in the History of the Moslem Peoples at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is a testimony to the loss which the scholarly world suffered by his untimely passing some four years ago.
Uriel Heyd was a rare combination of the productive and care­ful scholar, the devoted teacher, and the seasoned diplomat. He could have advanced as far as he wished in the Israel diplomatic service, but the world of scholarship was a magnet that drew him back to university life.
