Ephrat asserts that the Sunni revival was a period during which the fluid society of the \"learned,\" the 'ulama', emerged as a more defined and exclusive group. By unveiling the world of learning beyond its legal and organizational structures, this book explains how the Baghdadi 'ulama' constructed their social bonds and identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daphna Ephrat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 079144645X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791446454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/03\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 10","brand":"Daphna Ephrat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457719382271,"sku":"9780791446454","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_923463fa-6067-43b0-926a-c52ab54aa3da.jpg?v=1777400640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-learned-society-in-a-daphna-ephrat-9780791446454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
