DESCRIZIONE:

Publisher's description:
This book looks at Ṭabaqāt al-fuqahā' al-shāfi'īyah by Ibn Qāḍī Shuhbah (d. 851/1448) and how its author attempted to portray the development of the Shāfi'ī school of law up to his own times.
The volume examines the impact of crises on the formation of the ṭabaqāt genre. It demonstrates how ṭabaqāt, dedicated to explicating religious authority, were used by authors to sort-out challenges to intellectual orthodoxies. It also examines in detail the Ṭabaqāt directly, demonstrating Ibn Qāḍī Shuhbah's depiction of the development of Shāfi'ī law, the formation of intellectual sub-schools within the madhhab, the causes of legal decline, and curatives for the decline that are to be found in the great Shāfi'ī Ikhtilāf (divergent opinion) texts: the 'Azīz sharḥ al-wajīz by al-Rāfi'ī and the Rawḍāt al-ṭālibīn by al-Nawawī.

Reviews:
"This book is an important contribution to the study of Islamic law with significant observations about Islamic learning in the period of the madrasa and the self-view of fifteenth century jurists." Yaacov Lev in Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam Volume 34 (2008)
"This is a serious work of scholarship, which will be of interest to scholars of Islamic law, Middle East history, and Arabic biography. The insights offered by Jaques' book will hopefully encourage other scholars to carry out similar studies on other biographical works, especially ones pertaining to other law schools."
Justin Stearns in MESA - RoMES 44.1 (2010).
