Academic work on Islamic law is scattered across languages and catalogues. A doctoral thesis in Turkey, a critical edition from the Maghrib and an article in English often treat the same question without knowing of one another. The Theses collection gathers the Turkish part of this literature.
Which theses are included?
Master’s and doctoral theses in fiqh, Islamic law, legal theory, legal history, comparative law and Islamic economics. Theses are first selected by department and field, then by terms in their titles, keywords and abstracts. Uncertain cases are checked by hand.
What does the table show?
Each row gives the title, author, supervisor, type, university, year and language. Clicking a row opens the translated title, department, city, subjects and, where known, the jurist the thesis is about. The YÖK link goes to the thesis record and PDF to the full text where the author has made it available.
How to search
The search box looks in all columns at once and ignores diacritics, case and Arabic vowel signs. With several words, only theses containing all of them are listed: “sarakhsi doktora” brings up the doctoral theses on al-Sarakhsī.
