Summary/Abstract: My acquaintance and friendship with Cornell Fleischer extended over a half-century. We were academic brothers in the sense that we were the devoted students of the same teacher at Princeton. Our personal relationship deepened when Cornell became my colleague at the University of Chicago, where we also developed a fruitful professional collaboration in attempting to bring the study of the Islamic world to the highest level for both undergraduates and graduate students. Whether in person or in remote conversation, we shared our ideas, thought, and feelings intimately on personal and professional matters for three decades. His loss is, for me, immeasurable.
