The papers of Jeanette Ann Wakin span the years 1966-1998. (Wakin's research and teaching materials are undated and most likely go back to her work as Instructor at Columbia University beginning in 1966.) The bulk of the collection is comprised of notes and course materials and contains material pertaining to Wakin's study and translation of a twelfth- and thirteenth-century work on Islamic jurisprudence and legal methodology, the Rawdat al-Nazir wa-Jannat al Munazir, by Muwaffaq al-Din Ibn Qudama al-Makdisi. Wakin's translation is unfinished. The collection also contains material relating to Wakin's dissertation, and later monograph, on notorial documents --the chapters on sales form Tahawi's Kitab Al-shurut Al-Kabir (Documents in Islamic law). In addition to her research materials, the papers contain correspondence and materials from Wakin's tenure as Associate Editor for Islam and the Near East, for the Journal of the American Oriental Society. The collection also contains photocopies of many as of yet not identified Arabic manuscripts. These are labeled "unidentified" in the inventory.
