Law, Empire, and the Sultan: Ottoman Imperial Authority and Late Ḥanafī Jurisprudence. By Samy A. Ayoub
Two central ideas have proved remarkably resilient in modern scholarship on Islamic legal history. The first is the classification of Islamic law as a jurists’ law, produced by a class of scholars whose authority was independent of rulers, even if many received their patronage. The second, connected idea is the periodization that sees the nineteenth-century legal reforms that took place across most of the Muslim world as a fundamental break in Is…
Islamic Law and Empire in Ottoman Cairo
A study of Islamic law and political power in the Ottoman Empire’s richest provincial city What did Islamic law mean in the early modern period, a world of great Muslim empires? Often portrayed as the quintessential jurists’ law, to a large extent it was developed by scholars outside the purview of the state. However, for the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, justice was the ultimate duty of the monarch, and Islamic law was a tool of legitimation an…

The Whispers of Cities: Information Flows in Istanbul, London and Paris in the Age of William Trumbull, by John-Paul Ghobrial
John-Paul Ghobrial’s fascinating book is a study of how information travelled across the early modern Mediterranean, explored through the embassy of William Trumbull to the Ottoman capital from 1687 to 1692. Ghobrial’s main source is Trumbull’s personal archive, acquired by the British Library in the 1990s and never previously studied in depth. This is a large and varied collection, which includes Trumbull’s diary, correspondence, newsletters, of…
Prostitution, Islamic Law and Ottoman Societies
This article examines the treatment of prostitution in several genres of Ottoman legal writing—manuals and commentaries of Islamic jurisprudence, fatwās (legal opinions) and ḳānūnnāmes (Sultanic legislation)—and looks at how prostitution was dealt with in practice by the empire’s sharīʿa courts and by its provincial executive authorities. The article uses prostitution as a case study to investigate the relationships between the different genres o…
Petitioning the Sultan in Ottoman Egypt
This article examines the role of petitions to the Sultan concerning private disputes in the legal system of Ottoman Egypt during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Previous studies have seen petitioning as a means for subjects to complain about abuses carried out by Ottoman officials: few scholars have engaged with the many petitions involving private disputes between subjects. Based on both original petitions and Ottoman burea…
