From this perspective, the workshop brings together scholars working on different regions of the Islamicate world: Africa, Middle East, India and Central Asia. It opens a field of dialogue between the historiographies of Islamicate empires and their documentary sources in several languages: Arabic, Persian and Turkish. The examination of norms alongside practices provides an opportunity to ask new theoretical questions, explore archival approaches as well as offer comparative interpretations of the historical application of legal doctrine in the premodern Islamicate world. The case studies raise several questions on the specific uses of law according to the socio-economic circumstances as well as the place of casuistry, and more generally, the theoretical analysis of law.
