At the time of his death in 1998, at the age of 47, Norman Calder had become the most widely-discussed scholar in his field. The present volume of twenty-one of his articles and book chapters represents the full richness and diversity of Calder's oeuvre, from his initial doctoral research on Shii Islam to his later more philosophical writings on Sunni hermeneutics, in addition to his numerous studies on early Islamic history and jurisprudence. Many of the articles in this volume have already become classics for the fields of Muslim jurisprudence and hermeneutics.
