The Islamic Law of Nations: Shaybani's Siyar, Majid Khadduri's 1966 scholarly translation from The Johns Hopkins Press, presents al-Shaybani's foundational classical Islamic legal text on relations between the Islamic state and other nations. Its strength is that it pairs the primary legal text with a scholarly translator's apparatus, from an established university press. Its limit is that it is a translation of a single foundational jurist's work, so a claim about how later Islamic legal schools developed or modified his positions needs separate sources on those later developments.
