2013.
"The sophistication and originality of Borrut's approach to source
analysis makes his book an important contribution not only to our
knowledge of Umayyad history, but also to the reflection on late
Antique/early medieval historiography in general. [..] This is the
first time since 2001 that an SSA prize is awarded to a study of a
pre-Ottoman issue, and as far as we know, the first time ever it is
awarded to a piece of research on the Umayyad Empire." – Thomas
Pierret, University of Edinburgh - IMES, Prize Committee Chair, in:
Syrian Studies Association Bulletin, Vol 18, No 2 (2013).
"Il n’en demeure pas moins que l’ouvrage d’Antoine Borrut qui
témoigne d’une vaste erudition et d’une attention constante aux
débats de la recherché contemporaine, ce qu’atteste une imposante
bibliographie, deviendra sans doute, à juste raison, un classique
des études sur la Syrie du second siècle de l’hégire." – Viviane
Comerro, in: Bulletin critique des Annales islamologiques 28
(2012).
"This book is a welcome addition to the growing literature on the
Umayyad period. It will certainly provoke additional discussions of
the second/eighth century, as well as the later historiography that
shaped our vision of the Umayyad era." – Steven C. Judd, in:
Journal of the American Oriental Society 133.3 (2013).
"...engaging and deeply intelligent book [...]" – Matthew Gordon,
in: Al-Masaq. Journal of the Medieval Mediterranean 2013.
