Abstract

Despite the growing interest in the intellectual history of early modern Arabs and Ottomans, many key figures of the period remain unknown. In this unique biographical account, edited and published here for the first time, Muḥammad Kamāl al-Dīn al-Ghazzī (1760-1799), the chief Shafi‘i jurisconcult of Damascus, introduces us to one of the leading figures of early modernity, ‘Abd al-Ghanī al-Nābulusī (1641-1731). Being al-Nābulusī’s great grandson, al-Ghazzī had direct access to the family’s collective memory through his parents and grandparents, as well as to his great grandfather’s scattered memoirs. Written about fifty years after al-Nābulusī’s death, al-Ghazzī’s biography, al-Wird al-Unsī, remains the authoritative account of the great master’s distinguished career, covering many aspects of his life and work in breadth, depth, and sophistication unmatched by any of the competing biographies.

Abstract

This is a study of the life and work of Ibn Dāniyāl (d. 1310), a Cairo-based eye doctor, poet, playwright, court jester, and arguably one of the most controversial cultural figures of his time. Drawing on medieval Arabic sources, many still in manuscript and some used for the first time, the author further contextualizes Ibn Dāniyāl’s work with respect to poetry production and popular culture in the Islamic Near East in the post-Mongol period. The book also presents the first full English translation of “The Phantom,” one of Ibn Dāniyāl’s three shadow plays, the only surviving pre-Ottoman Arabic theatrical texts.

Abstract

The Art of Avaz and Mohammad Reza Shajarian: Foundations and Contexts, by Rob Simms and Amir Koushkani, examines the traditional art of singing classical Persian poetry, as represented by its greatest living exponent. Focusing on Shajarian's early career up to 1979, this in-depth study includes a panoramic view of the social and historical context of the twentieth-century tradition of avaz, along with a detailed presentation of Shajarian's musical toolkit for weaving together poetry and Iranian musical modes.
