The Role of the Madrasah and the Structure of Islamic Legal
Education in Mamluk Egypt
(1250-1517)
By Robert Moore
The role of madrasahs in Mamluk Egypt (1250-1517) has been the
subject of debate
among scholars of the period. Recent studies have deemphasized the
importance of
these institutions as centers of Islamic legal education. This
dissertation responds to
these assertions by looking at the influence that the growth in the
number of madrasahs
had on the social status of students and professors of Islamic law
and on the
development of the structure of Islamic legal education. After
examining foundation
deeds of madrasahs, biographical dictionaries, pedagogical works
and other sources, it
is argued that Islamic legal education had become a highly
structured process and that
madrasahs had contributed to the professionalization of professors
of Islamic law.
