The publication of The Formation of the Sunni Schools of Law,
Ninth-Tenth Centuries C.E., first as a University of Pennsylvania
doctoral dissertation in 1992, and subsequently as a monograph in
1997 (Studies in Islamic Law and Society, Brill), established
Christopher Melchert as a pre-eminent scholar of the history of
Islamic law and institutions. Through close readings of works on
fiqh, meticulous unpacking of data in biographical dictionaries,
and careful attention to curricular, pious, pedagogical, and
scholarly practices, Melchert has subsequently illuminated the
processes and procedures that undergirded the development of
Islamic movements and institutions in the formative period of
Islam. The present volume brings together sixteen of his articles,
including those considered his most important as well as ones that
are difficult to access. Originally published between 1997 and
2014, they are arranged chronologically under three rubrics -
hadith, piety and law. The material is presented in a new format,
updated by Melchert where appropriate, and indexed. The appearance
of these articles together in a single volume makes this book a
highly significant and welcome contribution to the field of
classical Islamic Studies.
