Working Paper #3 OnlineArmando Salvatore's Working Paper on "The Islamicate Adab Tradition vs. the Islamic Shari‘a, from Pre-Colonial to Colonial" is now online. The goal of this paper is to provide a bird’s eye view on what might qualify as ‘the mother of all distinctions’ within Islamicate history affecting the regulation of human conduct. It is divided into two parts: the first delineates the traits of adab in pre-colonial times, while the second focuses on key transformations it underwent during the colonial era.
