CALD  (Corpus of Arabic Legal Documents) is the outcome of the ERC-Project “Islamic Law Materialized” led by the Arabic section of the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes (IRHT – CNRS) in Paris.

It presents primary sources for Islamic law and legal practice in pre-modern Muslim societies. This online presentation is the first ever collection of scattered editions of legal documents from the 2nd/8th to the 9th/15th century (Hijri/Gregorian).

Images of the documents are presented with the Arabic text in modern spelling and with full bibliographical datas.

(Free) registration is required to fully access all the database functionalities.
