Although the early thirteenth century was a critical period in the development of Sufism, it has received little scholarly attention. Based on heretofore unexplored sources, this book examines a pivotal figure from this period: the scholar, mystic, statesman, and eponym of one of the earliest ṭarīqa lineages, ʿUmar al-Suhrawardī. In situating Suhrawardī’s life work in its social, political, and religious contexts, this book suggests that his universalizing Sufi system was not only enmeshed within a broader economy of Muslim religious learning, but also furnished social spaces which allowed for novel modes of participation in Sufi religiosity. In doing so, this book provides a framework for understanding the increasingly ubiquitous presence of intentional Sufi communities and institutions throughout the late-medieval Islamic world.
Die Autorin stellt den Inhalt und die Bedeutung der im Jahr 1991 neu in die ZPO eingefügten Gerichtsstände des § 29 b und § 32 a sowie der im Jahr 1993 geänderten Regelung des § 29 a ZPO dar.Im Rahmen der Ausführungen zu § 32 a ZPO setzt sich Andrea Klug im Einzelnen mit den Vor- und Nachteilen der neuen Gerichtsstandsnorm auseinander und zeigt dabei unter anderem auf, daß in der neuen Regelung eine den Gerichtsbezirk überschreitende Gerichtskompetenz bewußt nicht vorgesehen ist.

Reproduced in this two-volume set are hundreds of treaties and agreements made by Indian nations--with, among others, the Continental Congress; England, Spain, and other foreign countries; the ephemeral Republic of Texas and the Confederate States; railroad companies seeking rights-of-way across Indian land; and other Indian nations. Many were made with the United States but either remained unratified by Congress or were rejected by the Indians themselves after the Senate amended them unacceptably. Many others are "agreements" made after the official--but hardly de facto--end of U.S. treaty making in 1871. With the help of chapter introductions that concisely set each type of treaty in its historical and political context, these documents effectively trace the evolution of American Indian diplomacy in the United States.
