These studies by Wael Hallaq represent an important contribution to
our understanding of the neglected field of medieval Islamic law
and legal thought. Spanning the period from the 8th to the 16th
centuries, they draw upon a wide range of original sources to offer
both fresh interpretations of those sources and a careful
evaluation of contemporary scholarship. The first articles expound
the interrelated issues of legal reasoning, legal logic and the
epistemology of the law. There follows a set of primarily
historical studies, which question a series of widely held
assumptions, while the last items explore issues of legal theory
and methodology. One particular topic concerns the role of Shafi'i
as the 'master architect' of Islamic legal theory, and Professor
Hallaq would finally argue that this image is in fact false and a
creation of later centuries.
