| Sumario: | A manuscript of Al-Mawardi's important political work Tashil
al-Nadar (Facilitating -Administration) has recently been published.
Examining this work, it appears that beyond the stereotype, conformist,
Abbasid-patronized writer, there is another Mawardi. Hence, an
attempt is made in this article to show that some of Al-Mawardi's major
ideas in political theory have not been seriously studied by any of the
modem scholars who write on Islamic medieval political thought -
most of whom have not even seen al-Mawardi's Tashil al-Nadar. I will
argue, moreover, that what has been left out of al-Mawardi's works is
probably more relevant to political theory, and that some conclusions
arrived at in works that have become classics in the field are not well
founded.
