In this text,Ibn al-ʿAṭṭār (d. 339/1009) records the legal practices of Cordoban judges, drawing on a range of oriental sources including al-Ṭaḥāwī’s Kitāb al-Shurūṭ al-kabīr. In her chapter on imprecatory oaths in Justice and Leadership in Early Islamic Courts, DelfinaSerrano notes that the chapters on marriage and repudiation are missing from the preserved manuscripts of this important early work, making it difficult to contrast the treatment of liʿānin Cordoban legal texts with that in sources from Toledo.
