According to the Georgia Committee on US-Arab Relations Winter 90-91 newsletter, the book _Islamic Jurisprudence: An International Perspective_ (St. Martins, 1988) by C G Weeramantry offers the thesis that Islamic writers anticipated--even precipated--major developments in the intellectual history of Western Europe. The book idenifies the pioneer interpreters and disseminators of Islamic thought to the West and introduces the reader to Muslim law in general.
