Les Empires Berbères: Constructions Et Déconstructions D'Un Objet Historiographique

de Mehdi Ghouirgate

~~143,10€~~ 114,48€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This work compares medieval and modern Arabic sources relating to the Berber Empires (11th-13th centuries) with the way in which European studies have apprehended this topic against the backdrop of the emergence of orientalism and the expansion of France in the Maghreb. Indeed, the invocation and then the study of the Berber Empires served to characterize a great Other of proximity : the Maghreb at once so close and yet so different. Studying this past therefore amounted to giving perspectives to this radical difference. In the context of the colonized and then newly independent Maghreb, this yet distant past never ceased to serve as a reference and as a framework for a "roman national" which aimed to give these States a solid foundation.

Topkapi Qur?An Manuscript H.S. 32 - History, Text, And Variants

de Rami Hussein Halaseh

~~132,50€~~ 106,00€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This study presents a comprehensive and systematic examination of a revered Qurn manuscript, commonly attributed to the third Islamic Caliph, Uthmn b. Affn (d. 35/656), housed at the Topkap Palace Museum in Istanbul, Türkiye (identified as H.S. 32). Halaseh offers a meticulous analysis of the manuscript’s codicological, paleographic, and orthographic characteristics, explores its emendations, production date, and traces the manuscript’s journey first to Cairo and then to Istanbul. Additionally, the study examines and categorizes its textual variants, including what are considered today as non-canonical and some that are not previously attested in the major qirt literature. This work not only sheds light on the transmission of the Qurnic text but also establishes a comprehensive framework for researching Qurn manuscripts. By integrating methods for examining these manuscripts as both physical artifacts and scriptural texts, Halaseh presents a holistic methodological approach to their scholarly study.

Barahima'S Dilemma - Ibn Al-Rawandi’S ›Kitab Al-Zumurrud‹ And The Epistemological Turn In The Debate On Prophecy

de Elizabeth G. Price

~~155,69€~~ 124,55€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 When debating the need for prophets, Muslim theologians frequently cited an objection from a group called the Barhima - either a prophet conveys what is in accordance with reason, so they would be superfluous, or a prophet conveys what is contrary to reason, so they would be rejected. The Barhima did not recognise prophecy or revelation, because they claimed that reason alone could guide them on the right path. But who were these Barhima exactly? Were they Brahmans, as their title would suggest? And how did they become associated with this highly incisive objection to prophecy? This book traces the genealogy of the Barhima and explores their profound impact on the evolution of Islamic theology. It also charts the pivotal role that the Kitb al-Zumurrud played in disseminating the Barhima’s critiques and in facilitating an epistemological turn in the wider discourse on prophecy (nubuwwa). When faced with the Barhima, theologians were not only pressed to explain why rational agents required the input of revelation, but to also identify an epistemic gap that only a prophet could fill. A debate about whether humans required prophets thus evolved into a debate about what humans could and could not know by their own means.

Literary Spectacles Of Sultanship - Historiography, The Chancery, And Social Practice In Late Medieval Egypt

de Gowaart Van Den Bossche

~~162,98€~~ 130,38€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The so-called Mamluk sultans who ruled Egypt and Syria between the late thirteenth and early sixteenth centuries AD have often been portrayed as lacking in legitimacy due to their background as slave soldiers. Sultanic biographies written by chancery officials in the early period of the sultanate have been read as part of an effort of these sultans to legitimise their position on the throne. This book reconsiders the main corpus of six such biographies written by the historians Ibn Abd al-hir (d. 1293) and his nephew Shfi ibn Al (d. 1330) and argues that these were in fact far more complex texts. An understanding of their discourses of legitimisation needs to be embedded within a broader understanding of the multi-directional discourses operating across the texts. The study proposes to interpret these texts as "spectacles", in which authors emplotted the reign of a sultan in thoroughly literary and rhetorical fashion, making especially extensive use of textual forms prevalent in the chancery. In doing so the authors reimagined the format of the biography as a performative vehicle for displaying their literary credentials and helping them negotiate positions in the chancery and the wider courtly orbit.

Before Sufism - Early Islamic Renunciant Piety

de Christopher Melchert

~~141,78€~~ 113,42€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Christopher Melchert proposes to historicize Islamic renunciant piety (zuhd). As the conquest period wound down in the early eighth century c.e., renunciants set out to maintain the contempt of worldly comfort and loyalty to a greater cause that had characterized the community of Muslims in the seventh century. Instead of reckless endangerment on the battlefield, they cultivated intense fear of the Last Judgement to come. They spent nights weeping, reciting the Qur’an, and performing supererogatory ritual prayers. They stressed other-worldliness to the extent of minimizing good works in this world. Then the decline of tribute from the conquered peoples and conversion to Islam made it increasingly unfeasible for most Muslims to keep up any such régime. Professional differentiation also provoked increasing criticism of austerity. Finally, in the later ninth century, a form of Sufism emerged that would accommodate those willing and able to spend most of their time on religious devotions, those willing and able to spend their time on other religious pursuits such as law and hadith, and those unwilling or unable to do either.

Qur'An Commentary And The Biblical Turn - A History Of Muslim Exegetical Engagement With The Biblical Text

de Samuel Ross

~~134,49€~~ 107,59€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Qur’an and the Bible have been called "intertwined scriptures" due to the Qur’an’s frequent invocation of biblical narratives and figures. But what is the history of Muslims’ exegetical engagement with the biblical text? Through a comprehensive survey of more than 170 Qur’an commentaries, Samuel Ross traces the longitudinal history of the Bible in tafsr. Offering detailed case studies and rich in historical context, Ross’s narrative culminates in the remarkable late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century biblical turn. Global in scope, this development has not only generated new Muslim views of the Bible but even new interpretations of the Qur’an itself. This monograph has been awarded the annual BRAIS - De Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World.

Conciliation In The Qur?An - The Qur¿Anic Ethics Of Conflict Resolution

de Shafi Fazaluddin

~~123,89€~~ 99,11€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Conciliation in the Quran addresses an existing imbalanced focus in Islamic Studies on conflict in the Quran, and moves beyond a restrictive approach to ul (reconciliation) as a mediation process in fragmented social contexts. The book offers a critical analysis of conciliation as a holistic concept in the Quran, providing linguistic and structural insight based on the renowned pre-modern Arabic exegesis of Al-Rz (d. 1209) and the under-studied contemporary Urdu exegesis of Il (d. 1997). This ambitious thematic study of the entire Quran includes an innovative examination of the central ethical notion of isn (gracious conduct), and a challenging discussion of notorious passages relating to conflict. The author offers solutions to unresolved issues such as the significance of the notion of il (order), the relationship between conciliation and justice, and the structural and thematic significance of Q.48 (Srat Al-Fat) and Q.49 (Srat Al-ujurt). Conciliation in the Quran offers a compelling argument for the prevalence of conciliation in the Islamic scripture, and will be an essential read for practitioners in Islamic studies, community integration, conflict-resolution, interfaith dialogue and social justice.

Harmonizing Similarities - A History Of Distinctions Literature In Islamic Law

de Elias G. Saba

~~146,41€~~ 117,13€ 20% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 "Harmonizing Similarities" is a study of the legal distinctions (al-furq al-fiqhiyya) literature and its role in the development of the Islamic legal heritage. This book reconsiders how the public performance of Islamic law helped shape legal literature. It identifies the origins of this tradition in contemporaneous lexicographic and medical literature, both of which demonstrated the productive potential of drawing distinctions. Elias G. Saba demonstrates the implications of the legal furq and how changes to this genre reflect shifts in the social consumption of Islamic legal knowledge. The interest in legal distinctions grew out of the performance of knowledge in formalized legal disputations. From here, legal distinctions incorporated elements of play through its interactions with the genre of legal riddles. As play, books of legal distinctions were supplements to performance in literary salons, study circles, and court performances; these books also served as mimetic objects, allowing the reader to participate in a session virtually. Saba underscores how social and intellectual practices helped shape the literary development of Islamic law and that literary elaboration became a main driver of dynamism in Islamic law. This monograph has been awarded the annual <a href="https://www.brais.ac.uk/membership/member-benefits/brais-de-gruyter-prize">BRAIS - De Gruyter Priz</a>e in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World.
