Book Synopsis Islamic Law on Peasant Usufruct in Ottoman Syria by : Sabrina Joseph
Book excerpt: Drawing on Hanafi legal texts from Ottoman Syria between the 17th and early 19th centuries, this book examines how jurists balanced the rights and obligations of tenants and landlords on state and waqf lands, contributing in the process to the dynamism of the law and the adaptability and longevity of the Ottoman land system.
