I taught classical Arabic at the ANU, but since 1999 I've worked at Cambridge in the Faculty of Divinity. As an Orientalist masquerading as a Divine, I concentrate on texts which were central to a religious education. At the moment I'm trying to finish a commentary on Najm al-Din al-Katibi's Logic for Shams al-Din for the Library of Arabic Literature; Katibi's Logic was read by all who studied law and theology from the early fourteenth century to the early nineteenth century. More generally, I'm interested in developments in Islamic intellectual history in the centuries immediately after Avicenna.
