A progress note on method, memory and the architecture of Hanafica

The Hanafica Project has now moved beyond the stage of isolated reflections. It is beginning to take the shape of a structured research infrastructure: a digital intellectual map of the Hanafi school of law, its scholars, texts, doctrines, regions and manuscript traditions.  The central ambition is simple, but demanding: to restore the Hanafi tradition not merely as a sequence of famous jurists and canonical books, but as a living legal civilisation. It was formed through teachers and students, courts and markets, cities and empires, manuscripts and commentaries, juristic disagreement and regional adaptation.
