Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī Ibn Muḥammad al-Māwardī (Arabic: أبو الحسن علي بن محمد بن حبيب البصري الماوردي, Abū al-Ḥasan ʻAlī ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥabīb al-Baṣrī al-Māwardī), known in Latin as Alboacen (972–1058 CE), was an Islamic jurist of the Shafi'i school most remembered for his works on religion, government, the caliphate, and public and constitutional law during a time of political turmoil. Appointed as the chief judge over several districts near Nishapur in Iran, and Baghdad itself, al-Mawardi also served as a diplomat for the Abbasid caliphs al-Qa'im and al-Qadir in negotiations with the Buyid emirs. He is best known for his treatise on "The Ordinances of Government." The Ordinances, Al-Ahkam al-Sultaniyya w'al-Wilayat al-Diniyya, provide a detailed definition of the functions of caliphate government which, under the Buyids, appeared to be rather indefinite and ambiguous.
