Each of the 525 jurists in Fukahâ now has a page of his own. Click a jurist’s name in the Jurists table or in the Classical Works table and his page opens.
A jurist’s page shows:
- his name in Arabic and in transliteration, his school, his dates of birth and death and the city where he died;
- the works al-Laknawī lists for him, under their Arabic titles;
- his teachers and students, linked where they have a page on the site;
- the theses about him in the YÖK National Thesis Centre, newest first;
- the Arabic text of his entry in al-Fawāʾid al-bahiyya, with page and entry number;
- the jurists who died in the same period, and the previous and next jurist in chronological order;
- a ready-made reference for citing the page.
A good place to start is al-Jaṣṣāṣ’s page. With 53 theses about him, he is the jurist most studied on the site.
The home page has two new sections as well. Jurist of the day introduces a different jurist every day, and in The jurists across the centuries a click on a column lists the jurists who died in that century. The Jurists and Classical Works tables now also have a century filter.
