The Second Formation of Islamic Law is the first book to deal with
the rise of an official school of law in the post-Mongol period.
The author explores how the Ottoman dynasty shaped the structure
and doctrine of a particular branch within the Hanafi school of
law. In addition, the book examines the opposition of various
jurists, mostly from the empire's Arab provinces, to this
development. By looking at the emergence of the concept of an
official school of law, the book seeks to call into question the
grand narratives of Islamic legal history that tend to see the
nineteenth century as the major rupture. Instead, an argument is
formed that some of the supposedly nineteenth-century developments,
such as the codification of Islamic law, are rooted in much earlier
centuries. In so doing, the book offers a new periodization of
Islamic legal history in the eastern Islamic lands.
