Hadith: Origins and Developments
Tilman Nagels Kritik an der Isnad-cum-matn-Analyse. Eine Replik

He also criticises the proponents of this method – most notably Gregor Schoeler and Harald Motzki – and accuses …

Analysing Muslim Traditions: Studies in Legal, Exegetical and Maghāzī Ḥadīth
Since its inception, the study of Ḥadīth conducted by scholars trained in the Western academic tradition has been marked by sharp methodological debates.

The Origins of Islamic Jurisprudence: Meccan Fiqh before the Classical Schools
The current view among Western scholars of Islam concerning the early development of Islamic jurisprudence was shaped by Joseph Schacht’s famous study on the subject published 50 years ago. Since then new sources became available which make a critical review of his theories possible and desirable. This volume uses one of these sources to reconstruct the development of jurisprudence at Mecca, virtually unknown until now, from the beginnings until …

The Role of Non-Arab Converts in the Development of Early Islamic Law
Western scholarship has attached considerable importance to the role played by scholars of non-Arab descent in the formative period of Islamic law and jurisprudence. This view can be challenged. In a sample taken from a biographical collection of important legal scholars compiled in the fifth/eleventh century, "true" Arabs constituted the majority; three quarters of the non-Arab scholars had an eastern background and came from the regions of the …
