In response to the message by Peri Bearman regarding the indexes of the
Encyclopaedia of Islam, Brill have posted the following response. I think
the matter should now be regarded as closed.

Dear librarian,
A letter has been posted on several listserves that raises questions about
the recently published Glossary and Index of Terms of Brill’s
Encyclopaedia of Islam, New Edition (EI-2). To prevent any
misunderstandings about the Glossary and Index of Terms, Brill would like
to bring the following to your attention.
The Glossary and Index of Terms which has just appeared is the final,
cumulative Glossary and Index of Terms for the complete English set of EI-
2, including the Supplement. It is an updated, extended and corrected
compilation of earlier indices published by Brill. This edition was
thoroughly vetted by specialists in the field and the entire final
manuscript has been reviewed by established scholars.
Brill is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic
excellence for all of its publications. This final Glossary and Index of
Terms meets these standards.
Yours,
Joed Elich
