Al-Ṣafī ibn al-ʿAssāl brings together rules concerning clergy, worship, fasting, property, contracts, marriage, inheritance, testimony, judgment, and discipline. The result is not a modern code. It is a window into the intellectual, ecclesiastical, and social world of medieval Egyptian Christians.This volume presents a complete new English translation of the fifty-one-chapter form printed in Cairo in 1908. The translation preserves the work's structure and legal force while using clear present-day English. A historical introduction explains al-Ṣafī, the Banū al-ʿAssāl family, the collection's sources, and the limits of the surviving textual evidence. Page-bottom notes identify difficult readings and supply essential context without rewriting the medieval author. The printed rule numbers and source signs are restored throughout, and the source concordance gives readers a new way to trace the collection's legal and ecclesiastical authorities.This edition is prepared for historical, scholarly, and ecclesiastical study. It is not presented as current Coptic Orthodox canon law, civil law, or legal, matrimonial, inheritance, or pastoral advice.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/92/390/114/1923901141_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "35.65", "online_price" : "35.65", "our_price" : "35.65", "club_price" : "35.65", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
