Law and Governance in Islamic Societies is a translation from Arabic of two lectures by Abd al-Wah¿b Kall¿f (d. 1956). The materials were originally published in Arabic in two different books. One was published in 1971 under the title Khul¿sat T¿r¿kh al-Tashr¿` al-Isl¿m¿. The other was published nearly ten years later under the title al-Sulut¿t al-thal¿tha f¿ al-isl¿m. This revised translation is based on the Arabic text of al-Sulut¿t al-thal¿tha f¿ al-isl¿m, which was published in 1980, but also checked against some of Kallaf's ideas published in his other works, including `Ilm us¿¿l al-fiqh, al-ijtih¿d wa-'l-taql¿d, and fiqh al-siy¿sa al-shar`iyya.
