Islamic Legal Thought
A Compendium of Muslim Jurists
Series: - Studies in Islamic Law and Society, Volume: 36
In Islamic Legal Thought: A Compendium of Muslim Jurists, twenty-three scholars each contribute a chapter on a distinguished Muslim jurist. The volume is organized chronologically and it includes jurists who represent the formative, classical and modern periods of Islamic legal thought. Each chapter contains both a biography of an individual jurist and a translated sample of his work. The biographies emphasize the scholarly milieu in which the jurist workedâhis teachers, colleagues and pupils, as well as the type of juridical thinking for which he is best known. The translated sample highlights the contribution of each jurist to the evolution of both the method and the methodology of Islamic jurisprudence. The introduction by the volume's three editors, Oussama Arabi, David S. Powers and Susan A. Spectorsky, provides a concise overview of the contents.
Contributors include: Oussama Arabi, Murteza Bedir, Jonathan E. Brockopp, Robert Gleave, Camilo Gómez-Rivas, Mahmoud O. Haddad, Peter C. Hennigan, Colin Imber, Samir Kaddouri, Aharon Layish, Joseph E. Lowry, Muhammad Khalid Masud, Ebrahim Moosa, David S. Powers, Yossef Rapoport, Delfina Serrano Ruano, Susan A. Spectorsky, Devin J. Stewart, Osman Tastan, Etty Terem, Nurit Tsafrir, Bernard G. Weiss, Hiroyuki Yanagihashi.

âIslamic Legal Thought is a well-rounded survey of the history of Islamic law. Its scope is broad and the individual chapters are, on balance, well-structured and give the reader a good introduction to the life and thought of the scholar under consideration.â - Felicitas Opwis, in: Ilahiyat Studies 9.2 (2018), 293-297
ââ¦this book is a significant landmark in the representation of Islamic legal thought and its history. Its scope and scale by themselves demonstrate its monumentality [â¦]. In conclusion, this volume is a major contribution.â - Scott Morrison, in: The Cambridge Law Journal 73.2 (2014), p. 446-449
â⦠a major contribution to the field.
