It describes the origin and spread of these institutions, their teachers, and their role in the religious life of Egypt. This work is a lightly revised version of the author's 1976 University of Pennsylvania doctoral dissertation, which remains one of the most important works on the history of the premodern institution of the \u003ci\u003emadrasa\u003c\/i\u003e to date. Unlike many publications on the \u003ci\u003emadāris\u003c\/i\u003e in recent decades, which argue that medieval Islamic legal education was informal and lacked structure, the present work endeavors to detect the elements of structure and order in the institution of the madrasa and in its educational curricula and the practices associated with it. Leiser's ground-breaking work stands out for its attention to detail and to the political, economic, and religious background of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Egypt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Leiser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1948488892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948488891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lockwood Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.30w x 1.10d","brand":"Gary Leiser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47036594716927,"sku":"9781948488891","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00be6b33-14d3-4ad4-a8fb-1bf8eb0ca9fb.jpg?v=1752638057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-restoration-of-sunnism-gary-leiser-9781948488891","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
