At the time of his death in 1998, at the age of 47, Norman Calder
had become the most widely-discussed scholar in his field. This was
largely focused on his monograph, Studies in Early Muslim
Jurisprudence (Oxford, 1993), which boldly challenged existing
theories about the origins of Islamic Law. The present volume of
twenty-one of his articles and book chapters represents the full
richness and diversity of Calder's oeuvre, from his initial
doctoral research on Shii Islam to his later more philosophical
writings on Sunni hermeneutics, in addition to his numerous studies
on early Islamic history and jurisprudence. Calder's pioneering
research, which was based on a sensitive reading of medieval texts
fully informed by contemporary critical theory, often challenged
the established assumptions of the day. He is known in particular
for urging a reassessment of widely-held prejudices which
underestimated the degree of creativity in medieval Islamic
scholarship. Many of the articles in this volume have already
become classics for the fields of Muslim jurisprudence and
hermeneutics.
