Reviews

'... a magnificent survey of jurisprudence, treating especially the problem of what scholastic writing was intended to accomplish: the guidance of Muslim laymen, the display of erudition, aesthetic pleasure, and reassurance and inspiration for the pious ... stresses the literary pleasures of reading Islamic law books, normally unavailable except to those with advanced ability in reading Arabic.' Christopher Melchert, Journal of Islamic Studies
