This volume surveys the diversity of Islamic legal thought and
practice, a 1500 - year tradition that has been cultivated
throughout the Islamic world. It features translations of Islamic
legal texts from across the spectrum of literary genres (including
legal theory, judicial handbooks, pamphlets) that represent the
range of temporal, geographic and linguistic contexts in which
Islamic law has been, and continues to be, developed. Each text has
been chosen and translated by a specialist. It is accompanied by an
accessible introduction that places the author and text in
historical and legal contexts and explains the state of the
relevant field of study. An introduction to each section offers an
overview of the genre and provides a useful bibliography. The
volume will enable all researchers of Islamic law - established
academics, undergraduate students, and general readers - to
understand the tremendous and sometimes bewildering diversity of
Islamic law, as well the continuities and common features that bind
it together.
