The Disagreements of the Jurists: A Manual of Islamic Legal Theory

Al-Qadi al-Nu’man was a prominent judge, jurist, and author of the Fatimid Empire (296-567/909-1171), says Stuart, and in many ways the young Fatimid state’s chief ideologue for nearly half a century. He presents an Arabic edition with facing pages of English translation of of one al-Qadi al-Nu’man’s most important legal works, literally translated as "The Islamic Legal Schools’ Conflicting Principles of Interpretation." He says that it ranks among the most important extant discussion of Islamic legal theory from the fourth/tenth century. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
