The book explores the transformation of Islamic scholarship from manuscript to print in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting the pivotal role of editors in shaping the literary canon of Islamic thought. Focusing on Cairo's burgeoning publishing industry, it details how these editors, some of the most influential intellectuals of the time, aimed for revival and reform within the Islamic tradition.
