EN] The great Cordoban polygraph Ibn Hazm (d. 456/1064) chose as the legal school to follow the \nliteralist or Ẓāhirī, instead of the Mālikī legal school that was the predominant in al-Andalus and \nthat had been supported by the Cordoban Umayyads. On the basis of the information provided \nby his personal biography and his political trajectory as well as of the analysis of some of his \ndoctrinal conclusions, I conclude that his election is explained by his vision of how he wanted \nsociety to be. It was a vision determined by his formation in the Umayyad-ʽĀmirid court context \nand culture, and by his rejection that jurists would have exclusive control of the legal sphere
