de Wim Raven

466,40€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The history of Islamic thought in the Middle Ages, the impact of Greek philosophy and science, and the formation of an own theological tradition, is a long and complex one. The articles in this volume dedicated to Hans Daiber, one of the pioneering scholars in this field, offer new insights from a variety of perspectives: philological, philosophical, and historical. The subjects range from Islamic philosophy and theology, over the history of science, the transmission into other medieval cultures to language and literature. In addition to their specific discoveries, they give an impression of the dynamics of medieval Islamic intellectual history as well as of the diversity of approaches needed to understand this dynamics.

Aristotle'S Rhetoric In The East - The Syriac And Arabic Translation And Commentary Tradition

de Uwe Vagelpohl

249,10€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The two centuries following the rise of the Abbasid caliphate in 750 witnessed a wave of translations from Greek into Syriac and Arabic. The translation and reception of Aristotle's Rhetoric is a prime example for the resulting transformation of antique learning in the Islamic world and beyond. On the basis of a close textual analysis of the Rhetoric, this study develops elements of a comparative "translation grammar" of Greek-Arabic translations. Contextualizing the analysis with an account of the textual history and the Syriac and Arabic philosophical tradition drawing on theRhetoric, it throws new light on the inner workings of the "translation movement" and its impact on Islamic culture.

de Jochem Kahl

249,10€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book offers an Arabic edition and English translation of Sabur ibn Sahl's (d. 869 CE) famous dispensatory as preserved in a recension made by the physicians of the ?Adudi hospital in Baghdad around the middle of the 11th century CE. Drawing on different exponents of Sabur's original, the recension also constituted an attempt at revising the pharmacological material on empirical grounds. Edition and translation are framed by a detailed introductory study and various medico-pharmacological glossaries. The book thus not only highlights the lasting impact of Sabur's contribution to the development of scientific pharmacy in medieval Islam, but also provides another landmark on the road to a deeper understanding of the history of Eastern Arabic pharmacology.

O Ye Gentlemen: Arabic Studies On Science And Literary Culture - In Honour Of Remke Kruk

454,48€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 O ye Gentlemen explores two vital strands in Arabic culture: the Greek tradition in science and philosophy and the literary tradition. They are permanent and, though drawing on Islam as a dominant religion, they are by no means dependent on it. That the strands freely interweave within the broader scope of Schrifttum is shown by more than thirty essays on subjects as varied as the social organisation of bees, spontaneous generation in the Shi?ite tradition, astronomy in the Arabian nights, the benefits of sex, precious stones in a literary text, the virtue of women in Judaeo-Arabic stories, animals in Middle Eastern music and the transmission of Arabic science and philosophy to the medieval West.

Scripturalist Islam - The History And Doctrines Of The Akhbari Shi?I School

de Robert Gleave

315,35€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Akhbari School dominated the intellectual landscape of Imami Shi?ism between the Seventeenth and early Nineteenth Centuries. Its principal doctrines involved a reliance on scripture (primarily the sayings or akhbar of the Shi?ite Imams) and a rejection of the rational exegetical techniques which had become orthodox doctrine in Imami theology and law. However, the Akhbaris were not simple literalists, as they are at times portrayed in secondary literature. They developed a complex theory of exegesis in which texts could be interpreted, whilst at the same time remaining doggedly committed to the ability of the revelatory texts to provide answers to theological and legal questions arising within the Shi?i community. This book is the first in-depth study of the intellectual development and historical influence of the Akhbari School.

Chance And Determinism In Avicenna And Averroes

de Catarina Belo

233,20€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines the question whether medieval Muslim philosophers Avicenna (Arabic Ibn Sina 980-1037) and Averroes (Arabic Ibn Rushd 1126-1198) are determinists. With a focus on physics and metaphysics it studies their views on chance events in nature, as well as matter, in particular prime matter, and divine providence. In addition it sets their positions against the historical/philosophical background that influenced their response, the Greco-Arabic philosophical tradition - Aristotelian and Neoplatonic - on the one hand, and the tradition of Islamic theology (kalam) on the other. In comparing their philosophical systems, it lays emphasis on the way in which Avicenna and Averroes use these traditions to offer an original answer to the problem of determinism.

Dispensatory Of Ibn At-Tilmid - Arabic Text, English Translation, Study And Glossaries

de Oliver Kahl

315,35€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book offers a critical Arabic edition, annotated English translation, introductory study, and two-way glossaries of the famous dispensatory composed around the middle of the 12th century CE by the Nestorian physician Ibn at-Tilmid. The dispensatory, recognized as a masterpiece already by mediaeval contemporaries, soon after its appearance became the pharmacological standard work in the hospitals and apothecs of Baghdad and the wider Arab East, replacing, after almost 300 years, the vademecum of Sabur ibn Sahl. The dispensatory of Ibn at-Tilmid marks the apogee and the conclusion of centuries of medico-pharmacological development in the Arab world, and it is therefore absolutely essential for a critical understanding of mediaeval Arabic medicine and pharmacy in particular, and premodern science in general.

In Synchrony With The Heavens, Volume 2 Instruments Of Mass Calculation - (Studies X-Xviii)

de David King

446,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the first investigation of one of the main interests of astronomy in Islamic civilization, namely, timekeeping by the sun and stars and the regulation of the astronomically-defined times of Muslim prayer. The study is based on over 500 medieval astronomical manuscripts first identified by the author, now preserved in libraries all over the world and originally from the entire Islamic world from the Maghrib to Central Asia and the Yemen. The materials presented provide new insights into the early development of the prayer ritual in Islam. They also call into question the popular notion that religion could not inspire serious scientific activity. Only one of the hundreds of astronomical tables discussed here was known in medieval Europe, which is one reason why the entire corpus has remained unknown until the present. A second volume, also to be published by Brill, deals with astronomical instruments for timekeeping and other computing devices.

Commentary On The Jumal On Logic By Khunaji

de Ibn Wasil Al-Hamawi

202,73€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Ibn Wasil (d. 1298), perhaps better known today as a historian and an emissary to the court of King Manfred in southern Italy, was also an eminent logician. The present work is a critical edition of his main work in the field, a commentary on his teacher Khunaji's (d. 1248) handbook al-Jumal. The work helped consolidate the logic of the "later scholars" (such as Khunaji). It also shows that commentators did much more than merely explain the original work and instead regularly discussed and assessed received views. Ibn Wasil's work was an influential contribution to a particularly dynamic chapter in the history of Arabic logic.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Can we know God or does he reside beyond our ken? In Ibn ?Arabi and ?Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani's Metaphysics of the Divine, Ismail Lala conducts a forensic analysis of the nature of God and His interaction with creation. Looking mainly at the exegetical works of the influential mystic, Muhyi al-Din ibn ?Arabi (d. 638/1240), and one of his chief disseminators, ?Abd al-Razzaq al-Qashani (d. 736/1335?), Lala employs the term huwiyya, literally "He-ness," as an aperture into the metaphysical worldview of both mystics. Does Al-Qashani agree with Ibn ?Arabi's conception of God? Does he agree with Ibn ?Arabi on how God relates to us and how we relate to Him? Or is this where Sufi master and his disciple part ways?

 Abu al-Hajjaj Yusuf b. Muhammad Ibn Tumlus (Alhagiag Bin Thalmus, d. 620/1223) was a philosopher, physician and direct disciple of Ibn Rushd (Averroes, d. 595/1198), who lived and practiced rational sciences in Alzira and Marrakesh, a quarter of a century after the demise of his teacher. Ibn Tumlus was not Ibn Rushd's only student who engaged in work on logic, but one of dozens of disciples, suggesting that the supposed simultaneous death of the latter's philosophy is "grossly exaggerated". As a valuable window into the practice of logic in 13th century al-Andalus and the Maghreb, Ibn Tumlus' Compendium on Logic (Al-Mukhtasar fi al-mantiq) covers all the parts of "the expanded Organon", as it was known since al-Farabi (d. 339/951). The present volume offers a complete critical Arabic edition of this work, with an English and Arabic introduction, notes and indices.

Two further studies complete the volume: the first is devoted to the genre of "Middle Commentary" (talhis); the second considers how Averroes uses an analogy with medicine to place ethics at the heart of practical philosophy, and how, in a manner that is foreign to Aristotle, he conceives of ethics as a "science."

Deux etudes viennent completer ce volume: l'une, consacree a la notion de "commentaire moyen" (talhis), l'autre a la place qu'Averroes - par le biais d'une analogie avec la medecine - reserve a l'ethique au sein de la philosophie pratique, et a la facon dont il concoit desormais, de facon non aristotelicienne, l'ethique comme une "science."

Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya And The Divine Attributes - Rationalized Traditionalistic Theology

de Miriam Ovadia

181,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya and the Divine Attributes Miriam Ovadia offers a thorough discussion on the hermeneutical methodology applied in the theology of the Hanbalite traditionalistic scholar Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (d. 1350), the most prominent disciple of the renowned Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328). Focusing on Ibn al-Qayyim's voluminous - yet so far understudied - work on anthropomorphism, al-Sawa?iq al-Mursala, Ovadia explores his modus operandi in his attack on four fundamental rationalistic convictions, while demonstrating Ibn al-Qayyim's systemization of the Taymiyyan theological doctrine and theoretical discourse. Contextualizing al-Sawa?iq with relevant writings of thinkers who preceded Ibn al-Qayyim, Ovadia unfolds his employment of Kalamic terminology and argumentations; thus, his rationalized-traditionalistic authoring of a theological manifesto directed against his contemporary Ash?arite elite of Mamluk Damascus.

Sufi Doctrine Of Man - Sadr Al-Din Al-Qunawi'S Metaphysical Anthropology

de Richard Todd

234,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Sufi Doctrine of Man, Richard Todd examines the life and thought of Ibn 'Arabi's chief disciple, Sadr al-Din al-Qunawi (13th century C.E.). Making use of manuscript sources, he analyzes and contextualizes Qunawi's esoteric vision of the nature and purpose of human existence, a doctrine which incorporates core elements of Qunawi's metaphysics, cosmology, psychology, and eschatology. Qunawi's thought is placed in relation to Ibn 'Arabi's and that of the Ikhwan al-Safa', and his interaction with the Avicennian tradition is explored by focusing on his dialogue with the philosopher al-Tusi. Although not as famous as his master, Qunawi is shown to have been a sophisticated metaphysician in his own right, who had a major impact on Sufi thought.

Theology Of Abu L-Qasim Al-Balkhi/Al-Ka?Bi (D. 319/931)

de Racha El Omari

213,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the first comprehensive monograph on the theology of Abu l-Qasim al-Ka?bi al-Balkhi (d. 319/931), a leading Mu?tazili who flourished at the end of the Baghdadi school and at the beginning of the scholastic phase of Mu?tazili history. The study of al-Ka?bi's theology has been hindered by historiographical barriers: the fragmentary nature of extant articles, and the difficulties of reconstructing their contexts. This work investigates the twofold challenge of recovering al-Ka?bi's theology on the basis of a source-critical reconstruction of major extant fragments. One result of this study positions al-Ka?bi's theology as influenced less by the precepts of a Baghdadi school, and guided more by his individual views and affinity for earlier independent Mu?tazili positions. Another result not only corroborates al-Ka?bi's previously noted contributions in epistemology and cosmology, but also argues for their centrality to his theology as a whole.

Method, Structure, And Development In Al-Farabi'S Cosmology

de Damien Janos

377,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Winner of the 21st World Book Award of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 2014 This study-the first monograph devoted exclusively to al-Farabi's cosmology-provides a new interpretation of this thinker's philosophical development through an analysis of the Greek and Arabic sources and a contextualization of his life and thought in the cultural and intellectual milieu of his time. It discusses key cosmological and metaphysical concepts articulated in his works, with a special focus on celestial causation, intellection, and motion. This book also examines al-Farabi's cosmological method and particularly the connection between astronomy, physics, and metaphysics. The result is a reassessment of al-Farabi's cosmology vis-a-vis late-antique Greek philosophical trends and a clearer understanding of how it creatively adapted and transformed this legacy to establish a new cosmological paradigm in Arabic thought.
