"This Online Companion to the book, al-Muwaṭṭaʼ - Recension of Yaḥyā b. Yaḥyā (d. 234/848) by Mālik b. Anas (translated and edited by Mohammad Fadel and Connell Monette) (Program in Islamic Law/Harvard University Press, 2019), enables readers to explore the Muwaṭṭaʼ in greater detail, along with its place in Islamic legal history and the history of the medieval scholars who helped preserve it and transmit it to later generations. First and foremost, this Online Companion serves as a resource for introducing interested readers to the translation of this core work of Islamic law's founding period by including an online introduction to the print translation of the Royal Moroccan Edition of the Muwaṭṭaʼ, excerpts of the the English translation itself, and supplemental materials that will provide further biographical and historical background to the people, events, and ideas that inform the legal texts. In time, this Companion will also feature a searchable online version of the Arabic text of the Royal Moroccan Edition (drawn from multiple manuscripts and edited by a team of Moroccan scholars)."--Home page
