According to the Georgia Committee on US-Arab Relations Winter 90-91
newsletter,  the book _Islamic Jurisprudence:  An International
Perspective_ (St. Martins, 1988) by C G Weeramantry offers the thesis
that Islamic writers anticipated--even precipated--major developments
in the intellectual history of Western Europe.  The book idenifies the
pioneer interpreters and disseminators of Islamic thought to the West and
introduces the reader to Muslim law in general.
