Series:
Author:
The present work supplements the original volume of A Bibliography of Islamic Criminal Law, the most extensive bibliography on Islamic criminal law ever compiled. Drawing on a multitude of sources online and offline this bibliography covers in its thematic section not only the classical crime categories of ḥudūd, qiṣāṣ and taʿzīr but also a large number of newly emerging and related fields. In a second section, dedicated to countries, eras and institutions Olaf 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, also 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.
Olaf Köndgen, Ph.D. (2013), University of Amsterdam, is Senior Manager of OCEAN (Open Council of Europe Academic Networks) at the Council of Europe (Strasbourg). He has published on politics and law of the Sudan, Jordan, Egypt, and Lebanon, including 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 Numayrī and Bashīr (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.’
