The final volume of The Cambridge History of Arabic Literature explores the Arabic literary heritage of the little-known period from the twelfth to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Even though it was during this time that the famous Thousand and One Nights was composed, very little has been written on the literature of the period generally. In this volume Roger Allen and Donald Richards bring together some of the most distinguished scholars in the field to rectify the situation. The volume is divided into parts with the traditions of poetry and prose covered separately within both their 'elite' and 'popular' contexts. The last two sections are devoted to drama and the indigenous tradition of literary criticism. As the only work of its kind in English covering the post-classical period, this book promises to be a unique resource for students and scholars of Arabic literature for many years to come.

The volume brings together approaches to different elements of Arabic-Islamic civilization, mainly in the areas of linguistics, literature, literary theory, and prosody, but also including religion, ritual, economics, and zoology. Contributions also touch upon the adjacent areas of the Old Iranian, Persian, Greek and Byzantine written traditions. Some take as their points of departure specific Arabic words (cat, giraffe) or morphemes; others explore literary genres, subgenres (oration, ode, macaronic poem, travel narrative) or figures within them (the trickster, the devil). Cultural concepts such as wishing, gift-giving or discourse are treated, as are aspects of broader phenomena, such as the role of gender in dream interpretation or the relative merits of luxury goods and mass-produced commodities.

Der vorliegende Band widmet sich in 44 Einzelstudien aus unterschiedlichen Fachbereichen dem kulturellen Austausch zwischen arabischem und lateinischem Mittelalter. Aus verschiedenen Perspektiven werden die Voraussetzungen und Hintergründe des Wissenstransfers ebenso beleuchtet wie dessen Grenzen - etwa religiöse Vorbehalte oder divergierende kulturelle Leitbilder -, aber auch seine konkreten Auswirkungen auf die Strukturen und Inhalte der Wissenschaft im lateinischen Mittelalter. Besonderes Interesse gilt dabei Fragen der Übersetzung sowie den Bereichen der Philosophie, Medizin und Kunst. Durch seinen breiten, Fächer übergreifenden Ansatz, der eine Vielzahl neuer Sichtweisen und Fragestellungen generiert, wird der Band auf die weitere Erforschung des mittelalterlichen ,Kulturaustausches' zwischen arabischer und lateinischer Welt sicherlich anregend wirken.
