A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law Olaf Köndgen offers the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline
A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law covers, in its thematic section, not only the classical crime categories of
udd,
qi and
tazr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section dedicated to countries and eras, Köndgen comprehensively covers the historical and modern application of Islamic criminal law in all its forms. Unlocking the richness of this sub-field of Islamic law with the help of two detailed indices, this innovative reference work is highly relevant for all those researching Islamic law in general and the application of Islamic criminal law over time in particular.

Das Islamisierte Strafrecht des Sudan (Hamburg: Deutsches Orient-Institut, 1992),
Jordanien (Munich: C.H. Beck, 1999) and
The Codification of Islamic Criminal Law in the Sudan: Penal Codes and Supreme Court Case Law under Numayr and Bashr (Leiden & Boston: Brill, 2017).
Olaf Köndgen, one of the internationally leading authors in the field of Islamic criminal law, has done tremendous work in compiling nearly the whole available literature (books and articles) on this issue published in English, French and German within the last 40 years (until 2022).
With a total of 3,639 entries in the 2022 volume and an additional 2,580 entries in the supplement, the books are an extremely rich tool for researchers.
[...] this book is a milestone for providing access to the sources as well as a deeper understanding of the complexities of Islamic criminal law.
[...] these two volumes are indispensable for all libraries collecting Islam-related literature.

"Olaf Köndgens Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law will become an essential and indeed indispensable resource for researchers, students and scholars because there is no other bibliography on Islamic law that is more comprehensive, exhaustive, and, for want of a better word, user-friendly."

"Olaf Köndgen's A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law is remarkably comprehensive, inclusive and committed. It highlights the progress experienced by research in the field during the last decade. The very fact that such a significant number of titles could be gathered together and given a meaningful classification amply illustrates that process. Köndgen provides an essential tool for interested scholars and thereby paves the way for further development and study of Islamic Criminal law."
Delfina Serrano, ILC, CSIC, Madrid (Spain)
"Olaf Köndgen has produced an ambitious and (almost) complete bibliography of Islamic criminal law, listing publications from the early 19th century until now. This bibliography is unique in its size... a monumental academic achievement... an indispensable tool for research on Islamic criminal law."

"As the volume of publications on every aspect of Islamic law grows, with contributions worldwide and in many languages, it becomes harder and harder to separate what is relevant and reliable from all the rest this even for the specialist. Olaf Köndgens scrupulously assembled work will go far to meet the needs of all interested in Islamic criminal law, whether scholars, students, or researchers."
Frank E. Vogel, Harvard Law School (retired)
"As the largest bibliography ever compiled in the field of Islamic law, Köndgens Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law is unmatched. It is highly recommended as an indispensable part of every academic library and the Islamic criminal law students key reference work."
Rudolph Peters, Professor emeritus of Islamic law, University of Amsterdam
"This bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, compiled and edited by Olaf Köndgen, will - without doubt - be an indispensable research tool for everyone interested in Islamic law, not only criminal, for the years to come(a) marvellous bibliography."
