Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry: Ibn Al-Rumi and the Patron's Redemption
ISBN: 9780700714902 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book gives an insight into panegyrics (madih), a genre central to understanding medieval Near Eastern Society. Poets in this multi-ethnic society, using Arabic as their written idiom, would address the majority of their verse to rulers, generals, officials, and the urban upper classes, its tone ranging from celebration to reprimand and even to threat. Stylized and artistic, making it difficult to read, and not fitting the modern self-absorbed notion of poetry, this important topic has until now largely escaped scholarly attention. The panegyric ocuvre of Ibn al-Rumi, dedicated to the...

Like Joseph in Beauty: Yemeni Vernacular Poetry and Arab-Jewish Symbiosis
ISBN: 9789004168404 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like Joseph in Beauty traces the evolution of an Arabic poetic form called 'Humayni poetry'. From Muslim mystical circles, the courts of aristocrats in Highland Yemen, and kabbalist circles of Yemenite Jews, Humayni poetry distinguishes itself with lyricism, musicality, and eroticism. It also plays a variety of code-switching linguistic games. The book addresses the connections between the Humayni poetry of Yemen and the sacred poetry of Jews from Yemen, a hitherto-neglected chapter in the history of Arabic and Jewish literatures. The book culminates with a discussion of ways in which...

In der Studie werden Zeitvorstellungen in der vorislamisch-arabischen Dichtung und im Koran behandelt und zu spaauml;tantiken Zeitvorstellungen in hellenistischer Dichtung ins Verhaltnis gesetzt. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Zeit in der altarabischen Dichtung genauso wie in der viel fruuuml;heren griechischen Poesie als unentrinnbare Macht wahrgenommen wird. Der arabische Begriff fur unendliche Zeit, dahr, stellt sich als das arabische Pendant des griechischen Begriffs aiooacute;n dar.
