The Hanafi school is one of the four religious Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence (fiqh). It is named after the scholar Abu ?anifa an-Nu'man ibn Thabit (d. 767), a tabi'i whose legal views were preserved primarily by his two most important disciples, Abu Yusuf and Muhammad al-Shaybani. The other major schools of Sharia in Sunni Islam are Maliki, Shafi`i and Hanbali. The Hanafi school is the maddhab with the largest number of followers among Sunni Muslims. It is predominant in the countries that were once part of the historic Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire and Sultanates of Turkic rulers in the Indian subcontinent, northwest China and Central Asia.

Xilografia a chiaroscuro, 1745, in basso al centro la dedita dello stampatore: Illustrissimo, & Erudito Viro CAROLO FREDERICK Armigero, liberalium Artium Patrono, / Pauli Cagliari praeclarum hoc Opus in Ligno coelatum, in grati animi argumentum humiliter D. D. D. / J: B: Jackson”. Da un dipinto di Paolo VeroneseBell’esemplare, impresso su carta vergata coeva, completo dei margini bianchi, in ottimo stato di conservazione.La tavola è una della 24 dell’opera dal titolo “Titiani Vecelli, Pauli Caliarii, Jacobi Robusti, et Jacobi de Ponte opera selectiora” edita da J. B. Jackson nel 1745.La stampa è tratta dal dipinto di Paolo Caliari, detto il Veronese (1528-1588) per la cassa dell’organo della chiesa di S. Sebastiano, a Venezia, realizzato tra il 1558 e il 1560: le portelle dell’organo, chiuse, mostrano la “Presentazione di Gesù al Tempio”, mentre sul retro, visibile quando lo strumento è in uso, appare la scena della “Probatica piscina”. Chiaroscuro woodcut, 1745. inscribed lower center: “Illustrissimo, & Erudito Viro CAROLO FREDERICK Armigero, liberalium Artium Patrono, / Pauli Cagliari praeclarum hoc Opus in Ligno coelatum, in grati animi argumentum humiliter D. D. D. / J: B: Jackson”. After Paolo Veronese.Good example, printed on contemporary laid paper, white margins, in very good condition.Published as 1 of 24 prints and originally issued in portfolio with title: “Titiani Vecelli, Pauli Caliarii, JacobiRobusti, et Jacobi de Ponte opera selectiora”The plate is after an organ shutter of ca. 1588 painted by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588) for the Church of San Sebastiano, Venice. In 1558, Paolo designed the organ and painted its external shutters with the Presentation of Christ and the internal ones with a Pool of Bethesda (1560). The Presentation represents the bringing of the infant Jesus by Mary and Joseph to the Temple in Jerusalem to be 'consecrated to the Lord.' The Jewish rite of the 'purification' of the mother was celebrated simultaneously and involved the sacrifice of doves or pigeons and incorporated a procession of candles, both of which are portrayed by Veronese. The painted and actual architecture of Paolo's organ in San Sebastiano are coordinated so that, whether the shutters are open or closed, painted architecture continues the organ’s exterior architecture in both perspective and vocabulary.
