Here is an interesting position in Ottoman history at Warwick: warwick-careers.tal.net/vx/lang-en-GB/…
This seems to be a very useful compendium and the introduction is very informative. But, as it's often the case, the term "medieval" means pre-Mongol in this book. Post-Mongol developments are not covered, unfortunately.

Here are only two examples that engage deeply with the Schachtian paradigm and actually contribute towards a deeper understanding of the development of early Islamic law for anyone who is genuine.
An extremely tedious book that nonetheless changes one’s paradigm on the development of fiqh in Islam. Sadly, its findings are almost completely unknown to the Muslim world.

Persian also makes a distinction between audible and silent farts, though the words it uses are unrelated to the Semitic roots: gūz (audible) / chos (silent fart). Like with the Semitic words, the Persian words are onomatopoeic 🤓
To break wind audibly or silently are two different actions in Semitic languages. This lexical distinction is attested until today, for example, in Neo-Aramaic languages (Mutzafi 2022, p. 13-15)

An overseas colleague scanned Muḥammad Rawshan's edition of the Anvār-i suhaylī—a classic Persian adaptation of Kalīla and Dimna by Vāʿiẓ Kāshifī (d. 910/1504–5)—and was generous enough to share it. This fills a significant lacuna in the reader app. theobeers.com/kwd-reader/#ch…

Many languages have a word for necktie 👔 borrowed from/similar to French cravate, like Persian کراوات kerāvāt The French #etymology is surprising: from Serbo-Croatian Hrvat, meaning Croat—because neckties were 1st worn by the Croatian cavalry in the Thirty Years War (1618–48)!
