Relying solely on the flawed nineteenth century editions not only compromises the results of modern scholars’ investigations of al-Hamadhānī’s text, but also prevents us from appreciating the literary culture that created this work. The broad concerns of the book are divided into three sections: authorship, texts, and contexts, although there are some overlaps across these fields. One constant is that each chapter in this volume investigates hitherto unstudied textual materials related to al-Hamadhānī’s Maqāmāt.<br/>Part 1, Authorship, of the book begins with two studies related to al-Hamadhānī’s authorship. It reviews several theories about al-Hamadhānī’s reliance on earlier forms in the creation of the maqāma, and provide an edited fragment of a lost work by the well-known grammarian Ibn Fāris (d. 395/1005). It also describes the way that al-Hamadhānī’s individual maqāmas came to be included in manuscript collections in the years following his death. <br/><br/>Part 2, Texts, presents the editions of four maqāmas attributed to al-Hamadhānī in the manuscript tradition, that were not included in Muḥammad ʿAbduh’s printing: the Ṭibbiyya, Sharīfiyya, Hamadhāniyya, Khātamiyya, along with a discussion and analysis of their contents in relation to the extant corpus of al-Hamadhānī’s maqāmāt. <br/><br/>Part 3, Contexts, provides studies and translations of key maqāmas of al-Hamadhānī. “Adab and Metamorphosis: The Mawṣiliyya” is an edition, translation, and modern commentary on this maqāma in which Abū l-Fatḥ famously attempts to raise a dead man from the grave. This commentary identifies sources from which al-Hamadhānī may have drawn, affording modern readers further context with which to explore this tale. “What the Qadi Should not Hear: The Shāmiyya” provides the first scholarly edition of this maqāma, which ʿAbduh excised from the 1889 Beirut printing. The study explores how this maqāma draws upon ideas about the limits of proper and improper speech. The last chapter offers a study and edition of a hitherto unknown commentary on the Maqāmāt of al-Hamadhānī that the authors argue may be an example of auto-commentary. The proposed interpretation has profound implications for how the Maqāmāt of al-Hamadhānī were understood by the first generations of readers, including the writers of maqāmas who followed him. 17 02 This book explores important dimensions of the life of Badīʿ al-Zamān al-Hamadhānī’s Maqāmāt. The broad concerns of the book are divided into three parts (authorship, texts, and contexts) each consisting of individual chapters. Part One, “Authorship,” begins with two chapter-length studies related to al-Hamadhānī’s creative role as an author. Part Two, entitled, “Texts,” presents the editions of four maqāmas attributed to al-Hamadhānī in the manuscript tradition, that were not included in Muḥammad ʿAbduh’s Beirut edition of 1889. Part Three, “Contexts,” offers several studies and translations of key maqāmas of al-Hamadhānī. “Adab and Metamorphosis: The Mawṣiliyya” is an edition, translation, and modern commentary on this maqāma in which Abū l-Fatḥ famously attempts to raise a dead man from the grave. “What the Qadi Should not Hear: The Shāmiyya” provides the first scholarly edition of this maqāma, which ʿAbduh excised from his edition. The study explores how this maqāma draws upon ideas about the limits of proper and improper speech. The last chapter provides a study and edition of a hitherto unknown commentary on the Maqāmāt of al-Hamadhānī that the authors argue may have been composed by Hamadhānī himself. 13 02 Bilal Orfali, Ph.D. (2009), Yale University, is Sheikh Zayed Chair for Arabic and Islamic Studies at the American University of Beirut.

Sie versteht sich nicht ausschließlich als ein Forum für Orientwissenschaftler, sondern möchte auch Komparatisten, Literaturwissenschaftlern und einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit Einblicke in das breite Spektrum gegenwärtig produzierter und rezipierter Literatur des Nahen Ostens bieten. <br/>Denn die Herausgeberinnen, Autorinnen und Autoren wollen den Titel der Reihe programmatisch verstanden wissen. Sie gehen von einem Begriff der Weltliteratur aus, der die orientalischen Literaturen nicht nur statisch einbegreift, sondern sie in ein Kulturregionen und Nationalsprachen übergreifendes Spannungsfeld stellt, dessen Dynamik erst im interdisziplinären Austausch erfasst werden kann. Sie gehen ferner davon aus, dass Literaturen in vielfacher Weise intertextuell geprägt sind, dass sie Lektüren verschiedenster vorausgehender Texte darstellen und daher erst in ihrem „lokalen historischen Kontext“ ihren Reiz als Ausdruck einer regional geprägten Ästhetik entfalten können. Die Reihe versucht so, einer neuen Sensibilität für mythische, archetypische, aber auch historische Subtexte in der nahöstlichen Literatur Bahn zu brechen, sie aber gleichzeitig als wichtigen Ausdruck einer globalen kulturellen Mobilität sichtbar zu machen. 35 02 Literatures in Context is a peer-reviewed book series devoted to Near Eastern and North African literatures. The editors want the title of the series to be understood programmatically. They presuppose a concept of world literature that includes Near Eastern and North African literatures. What is more, they assume that literatures are in many ways marked by intertextuality, that they constitute readings of extremely diverse earlier texts, and that they are posited within a field of tensions, much broader than their respective national language. For the earlier eras of Near Eastern and North African literatures, this field of tensions geographically covers the regions of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor. In modern times, it has become a space of interaction that has long since included “global” Western literatures (and realities). This does not imply that the modern Near Eastern and North African literatures have severed themselves from their predecessors. Instead it is precisely the tension between different sets of references in modern Near Eastern and North African literatures, or their “local historical context”, which is a great part of their attraction, that remains a crucial field of research for the modern scholar. 46 01 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.de 47 Open access - CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 80 02 <h2><a href="/media/Prospekte/Litkon_2014.pdf">Katalog als PDF</a></h2> 99 DE 31 https://medialibrary.reichert-verlag.de/de/file/9783752005011_ebook.pdf 01 04 15275 Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag http://reichert-verlag.de 16 NYU Abu Dhabi 01 100012025 Wiesbaden DE 04 20220712 2022 13 15 978-3-7520-0002-3 04 15275 Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag +49 (0)611 9465911 +49 (0)611 468613 info@reichert-verlag.de 01 http://reichert-verlag.de 01 IP 00 20220712 02 02 59 EUR DE R 09 75
