"This book is an important contribution to the study of Islamic law
with significant observations about Islamic learning in the period
of the madrasa and the self-view of fifteenth century jurists."

"This is a serious work of scholarship, which will be of interest
to scholars of Islamic law, Middle East history, and Arabic
biography. The insights offered by Jaques’ book will hopefully
encourage other scholars to carry out similar studies on other
biographical works, especially ones pertaining to other law
schools."
