It offers a detailed study of the structure, content and authorial method of the work, arguing that it represents the author’s personal composition rather than a synthesis of medieval rulings, as it has often been understood. On this basis, Antonia Bosanquet analyses how Ibn al-Qayyim’s presentation of rulings in Aḥkām ahl al-dhimma uses space to convey his view of religious hierarchy. She considers his answer to the question of whether non-Muslims have a place in the Abode of Islam, how this is defined and how his definition contributes to Ibn al-Qayyim’s broader theological world-view.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[...] Ihren ‚Platz‘ hat Bosanquets Studie somit gefunden: als eine wegweisende Arbeit im Bereich der wissenschaftlichen Erschließung der Beziehungen zwischen Islam und Nichtmuslimen in der Vormoderne.    [...] Bosanquet's study has found its 'place' as a groundbreaking work in the academic field of relations between Islam and non-Muslims in the pre-modern period.
