Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Berlin, the narrative explores Martin Schreiner's life as a prominent scholar of Jewish studies and Islamic intellectual history. After being diagnosed with mental illness, his promising career was abruptly cut short. The book highlights his significant contributions, including studies on the Mutazila, Ibn Taymiyya, and Ibn Arabi, while also detailing his academic journey and the impact of his work on interreligious discourse. Sabine Schmidtke intricately reconstructs Schreiner's scholarly biography through his letters and achievements.
