1. as it does,as it did :是习语。从它的结构来看,实际就是表示方式,意为“in fact, actually”。前者跟现在时连用,后者跟过去时连用。因为它是有语义的,不可省略。as it did 作为方式修饰现在分词 comprising。意为“实际上包括前伊斯兰阿拉伯国际法律的各个组成部分”。
2. of legal subject matter that was far from uniform,是前面 examination 的定语,被 from a religious angle 分隔了。that was far from uniform 是 matter的定语从句。
