Text of Note

The 3^rd/9^th and 4^th/10 ^th centuries witnessed significant developments in Islamic intellectual history. Most of the hadith collections that later came to be recognized as canonical were compiled in this period and the major schools of law and certain theological schools also completed their formation during the same period. Despite this continuous progress in other fields of religious sciences, there is an unusual lapse of time between what is widely considered the first work in usul al-fiqh (Islamic legal theory) al-Risala by al-Sh afi'i (204/819), and what is recognized as the second work al-Fusul f i-al-usul by al-Jass as (370/981). Due to the absence of a major work devoted solely to usul al-fiqh from this period, the majority of contemporary scholars considered it as a period of history during which there was little or no intellectual activity in the field of us ul al-fiqh and where no significant developments took place. This assumption has driven some scholars to assign a new starting point for the field of usul al-fiqh and even different definitions of us ul al-fiqh. The question of what in fact took place during this 'dark period,' however, has not been fully or adequately explored.
