Beskrivelse af Political Thought in the Mamluk Period
A new history of medieval Islamic political thought, focusing on the rule of law, limited government and the theory of delegation Political Thought in the Mamluk Period covers the political thought produced by legal theorists, jurists, judges and administrators of the late Ayyubid and early Mamluk period as they tackled a central question: how best to govern their communities. It proposes a taxonomy of the main themes and concerns of this political thought under the three ideals of the rule of law, limited government and legitimate delegation of power. Further, it recommends a contextualist approach for interpreting Islamic political texts based on their narrow social, intellectual and political contexts. Examining treatises by 5 carefully selected authors who flourished in the Syro-Egyptian lands in the period between c.1250 and c.1350, the book also deals with important questions of authorship, readership and dedicatees, authorial motives and intentions, genres and literary styles, sources and influences, and applicability. Key Features Studies Ayyubid and Mamluk political thought beyond the prevalent focus on Ibn Taymiyya Offers a novel classification of the themes and concerns of medieval Islamic political thought Provides a comprehensive study of Ibn Jamaʿa's well-known works and other previously unstudied treatises Presents a novel interpretation of a distinctive Sufi political thought and uncovers its interrelatedness with Ashʿari-Sufism and Shafiʿism Includes 5 case studies based on treatises authored by legal theorists, jurists, judges and administrators Mohamad El-Merheb is Assistant Professor of Medieval History at the University of Groningen. He is editor of Professional Mobility in Islamic Societies (700-1750): New Concepts and Approaches (2021).
