Book Description
Au printemps 1968, lorsque la France et bon nombre d'endroits dans le monde etaient secoues par des mouvements de protestations sociopolitiques importants, quelques grands savants se reunissaient a la vieille et prestigieuse universite de Strasbourg et allaient declencher un veritable tournant dans les etudes islamologiques en Occident. En effet, pour la premiere fois, des chercheurs d'envergure mondiale se rencontraient dans un colloque exclusivement consacre au shi'isme imamite. Les conferences et les discussions aboutirent a la publication d'un excellent recueil d'articles: Le shi'isme imamite: Colloque de Strasbourg (6-9 mai 1968), Presses Universitaires de France, Paris 1970. Si nous avons souhaite associer le 40e anniversaire de cet evenement a l'hommage que nous voulions rendre a Etan Kohlberg, c'est pour souligner le role majeur de ce dernier dans l'enrichissement et l'approfondissement des etudes consacrees au shiisme imamite. En effet, l'ampleur de ses connaissances, la rigueur radicale de son erudition et ses grandes qualites humaines ont ete des facteurs decisifs dans la diffusion des etudes shi'ites et leur transmission a travers la formation de generations entieres de chercheurs. Ainsi, ce volume d'hommage se veut un temoignage de l'essor grandissant des etudes shi'ites imamites et de la dette indeniable de celles-ci aux savants reunis, il y a quarante ans, a Strasbourg, ainsi qu'a l'oeuvre immense d'Etan Kohlberg.

Diverging Paths?
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004277870
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Diverging Paths? investigates an important question, to which the answers must be very complex: “why did certain sorts of institutionalisation and institutional continuity characterise government and society in Christendom by the later Middle Ages, but not the Islamic world, whereas the reverse end-point might have been predicted from the early medieval situation?” This core question lies within classic historiographical debates, to which the essays in the volume, written by leading medievalists, make significant contributions. The papers, drawing on a wide range of evidence and methodologies, span the middle ages, chronologically and geographically. At the same time, the core question relates to matters of strong contemporary interest, notably the perceived characteristics of power exercised within Islamic Middle Eastern regimes. Contributors are Stuart Airlie, Gadi Algazi, Sandro Carocci, Simone Collavini, Emanuele Conte, Nadia El Cheikh, Maribel Fierro, John Hudson, Caroline Humfress, Michel Kaplan, Hugh Kennedy, Simon MacLean, Eduardo Manzano, Susana Naroztky, Annliese Nef, Vivien Prigent, Ana Rodríguez, Magnus Ryan and Bernard Stolte.

O ye Gentlemen: Arabic Studies on Science and Literary Culture
Author: Arnoud Vrolijk
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047422058
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
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 Shiʿite 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.

Encounters with the Hidden Imam in Early and Pre-Modern Twelver Shīʿī Islam
Author: Omid Ghaemmaghami
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004413154
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The history of Twelver Shīʿī Islam is a history of attempts to deal with the abrupt loss of the Imam. In Encounters with the Hidden Imam in Early and Pre- Modern Twelver Shīʿī Islam, Omid Ghaemmaghami demonstrates that in the early years of what came to be known as the Greater Occultation, Shīʿī authorities maintained that all contact with the Imam had been sundered, forcing him to remain incommunicado until his (re)appearance . This position, however, proved untenable to maintain. Almost a century after the start of the Greater Occultation, prominent scholars began to concede the possibility that some Shīʿa can meet the Hidden Imam. Accounts of encounters with the Imam from the Greater Occultation soon began to appear, adumbrating their exponential growth in later centuries.
