Acknowledgements
The family of Professor Eva-Maria von Kemnitz would like to the thank the publishing house Brill, and in particular Ms Kathy van Vliet and Mr Abdurraouf Oueslati, for pursuing the publication of this book. At the time of her decease, Professor von Kemnitz was working on this manuscript, then divided into four parts. The first two were mostly complete, the latter two were work in progress. The publication of this volume would not have been possible without the work and dedication of Dr Amina Inloes, who revised, edited, and finalised the book, contributing to it with her own expertise. Our appreciation and gratitude go to her for making Professor von Kemnitz’s last work see the light of day.
