Mukhta峁r and matn: agency and change in the pivots of the Islamic legal schools
In this CanCode workshop we plan to compare and contrast the authorship and reception history of important cases of matns and 尘耻办丑迟补峁谤s in Islamic legal history.
Main content
The texts of the legal genres of matn and 尘耻办丑迟补峁谤 are seen as stable entities from the medieval period serving as educational primers and base texts for commentaries. They听have code-like features and some became canonical over time. In this workshop we will focus two understudied and related issues: The agency and innovation in the authorship of various explamples of matn/尘耻办丑迟补峁谤, as well as the reception history and re-use.
The workshop will take place in Leiden, 27.-28. Sept. and the aim is to prepare a series of articles for a theme issue.听
The workshop is a spin-off from this conference helf in Bergen, June 2022 (link)
