Abstract: The thesis underlying the main body of the present work propounds the view that the juridical system of the Bedouin in Cyrenaica (E. Libya)-here exemplified in a selection of 72 documents issued by the sharia courts of Ajdabiya and Kufra over a period of approxirnately forty years (1930s-1970s)-is the outcome of interaction and an ongoing synthesis between tribal customary law and the sharia.
