Summary

The journeys of Islamic legal texts and ideas across the worlds of the Indian Ocean and the Eastern Mediterranean form the fulcrum of this book. With a focus on the Shāfiʿī school of Islamic law, it observes how and why the texts shaped, transformed, influenced and negotiated the legal lives and juridical thoughts of a significant community over a whole millennium, crossing many boundaries of place and time.
