Ansāb al-ʻArab al-qudamāʼ
Social development or civility, the frame across which the history of marriage is surveyed from its earliest state to the present.
Whoever surveys the history of marriage from the earliest conditions of civilisation (*al-ʻumrān*) down to the present sees in it nothing but what overturns mother-right.
Kitāb mīzān al-ḥaqq fī al-manṭiq
Settled civilisation, defined through the growth of crafts, agriculture and trade and made the consequence of justice in the worked example
and that the love of prosperity calls for the drawing in of wealth by the crafts, agriculture and trade, and for the advancing and enlarging of these matters, which is civilisation.
