Abstract
Michael Lecker provides us with a monograph exclusively focused on a single
legal document from the time of the Prophet. Among both specialists in Islamic
studies and the general public, this document is commonly known as the
‘Constitution of Madina’. Yet the creators of the document called it ‘kit:b’—
literally, ‘a written document’. The book derives from the author’s Ph.D. thesis
submitted in Hebrew to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, in 1982.
