An Imam in Paris (Takhlis al-Ibriz fi Talkhis Bariz), is one of the earliest records of the Muslim encounter with Enlightenment-era European ideas. Al-Tahtawi's book helped introduce ideas of modernity to his native land.

Jewish Quarterly; 'An Imam in Paris lets us share the responses of a highly intelligent scholar ... Daniel L. Newman is to be congratulated on making the first translation into English of this remarkable book, and on supporting the text with a first-class introduction and with footnotes that are as full as one could wish. A first-class introduction ... remarkable.' Times Literary Supplement; '[A] fine translation ... extensively and meticulously notated.' The International History Review

His publications include The Sultan's Feast: A Fifteenth-Century Egyptian Cookbook, The Sultan's Sex Potions: Arab Aphrodisiacs in the Middle Ages, and Modern Arabic Short Stories: A Bilingual Reader (with Ronak Husni), all by Saqi Books.
