商品簡介
Garcia Sanjuan (medieval history, Huelva U., Spain) draws mainly but not exclusively on Islamic jurisprudence records in Arabic and Spanish to investigate pious endowments as an institution of Andalusian society. Among his perspectives are its origins and early development, the organization of mosques and the role of pious endowments, and legal theory versus practical needs. His 1998 dissertation at the University of Seville was published in 2002 as Hasta que Dios herede la tierra; no publisher is cited. The English translation has been substantially revised and updated, though the general format and the conclusions remain the same. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
