This conference welcomes papers on single or a number of treatises and counter-treatises written in Islamic Law and Theology (fiqh, kalām, taṣawwuf etc.). They should address the content of the treatise as well as the social, political
and intellectual context of its author and the audience, in order to fully understand the author-text-context
relation. The conference focuses on the 13th to the 19th centuries with a main interest in the Ottoman and
Mamluk Empires, and it aims to add to our understanding of the reality of Islamic theology and law in its
historical and social context. Nevertheless, the investigation of treatises from other geographical areas are welcomed as well.
