Léon Walerian Ostrorog (1867-1932) was an Islamic scholar, jurist, adviser to the Ottoman government and émigré in Istanbul. He was also a writer and translator. Ostrorog underwent schooling in France and attended the Sorbonne where he completed a doctorate, later specializing in Islamic Law. He translated Al-Mawardi's political theologies in French, which discusses the principles of political science with special reference and ministers, relationships between the populace and the administration, as well as calculations to strengthen the government and secure a victory in conflict. Al-Mawardi has been considered one of the most renowned thinkers in the political science of the medieval of Islamic history. These editions present very well, beautifully bound.
