Short description:
An exploration of the spread and survival of Islamic legal ideas and commentaries in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean regions in the second millennium CE.
MoreLong description:
Analysing the spread and survival of Islamic legal ideas and commentaries in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean littorals, Islamic Law in Circulation focuses on Sh&&&257;fi&&&703;&&&299;sm, one of the four Sunn&&&299; schools of Islamic law. It explores how certain texts shaped, transformed and influenced the juridical thoughts and lives of a significant community over a millennium in and between Asia, Africa and Europe. By examining the processes of the spread of legal texts and their roles in society, as well as thinking about how Afrasian Muslims responded to these new arrivals of thoughts and texts, Mahmood Kooria weaves together a narrative with the textual descendants from places such as Damascus, Mecca, Cairo, Malabar, Java, Aceh and Zanzibar to tell a compelling story of how Islam contributed to the global history of law from the thirteenth to the twentieth century.
'Mahmood Kooria's examination of how Shafi'i legal texts travelled across time and space, creating intellectual communities and linkages, represents a new and exciting methodological direction for Islamic legal studies. A tradition of interconnected scholarship stretching out over centuries is expertly mapped out, introducing the field to new and unexplored contexts. Kooria's detailed research feeds into a wider portrayal of the remarkable diversity, longevity and vitality of the Shafi'i school in the late premodern period, happening in scholarly contexts beyond the traditional centres. Through his meticulous new work, our vistas of Islamic legal history are broadened - the book will be read, and re-read, heralding a new and exciting focus for future research.' Robert Gleave, University of Exeter
