Shiʿite Legal Theory

Sources and Commentaries

Herausgeber: Rajani, Kumail; Gleave, Robert

Beschreibung

Contains editions and commentaries of hitherto un-edited manuscripts from the various strands of the Shiʿite tradition of Islamic thought (Zaydi, Ismaʿili and Twelver). A careful side-by-side reading of these texts and commentaries helps identify themes peculiar to the Shiʿite "family" of legal theories.
