Birgivī’s deep mistrust of the passions of the human soul led him to prescribe a regime of self-surveillance and control that was only matched in rigor by his likewise exacting interpretation of the law in matters of everyday life, as much as in state practices, such as the cash waqf, Ottoman land tenure and taxation.","brand":"Katharina Anna Ivanyi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307920077051,"sku":"9789004419865","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004419865.jpg?v=1772491342","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/virtue-piety-and-the-law-9789004419865","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
