Stefan Schreiner offers an annotated translation of an Islamic catechism (Ilmihal ) printed in Vilnius in 1830 and written by Józef Sobolewski, a Polish-Lithuanian Muslim and judge in Nowogródek (today: Navahrudak, Belarus), who followed the Hanafi school of law and the Māturīdī school of theology. As the first printed book of religious literature of the Tatar Muslims living in Eastern Europe since the 13th/14th century, the catechism is also a remarkable document of their self-understanding as part of European history and society.
