The volume consists of six parts devoted to literature, languages, history, culture, science, religions and philosophy of the Eastern World. Its aim is to portray the present-day state of oriental studies, which are here understood predominantly as philologies of Asia and Africa, but also as a field of study including other, adjacent disciplines of the humanities, not neglecting the history of oriental research. The book's multidisciplinary content reflects the multi- and often interdisciplinary nature of oriental studies today.

Part 1 (Literature) offers new insights into belles-lettres written in Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Urdu, Persian and Japanese.

Part 2 (Linguistics) contains studies on Sanskrit texts (in a stylometric approach), Japanese nominals, Japanese poetry as a linguistic source, Arabic translations of the Bible, Arabic dialect of Morocco, Arabic culinary terms of Persian origin and Turkish vocabulary of the language reform era.

Part 3 (History) investigates Napoleon's campaign in the Middle East, Middle Eastern-Russian relations in the 18th century, the history of Seljuk Empire and the works of a Moroccan historian, ?a?far Ibn A?mad an-N???r? as-Salaw?.

Part 4 (History of Oriental Studies) deals with the history of oriental studies in Kraków and with the problems of a critical edition of the Quran.

Part 5 (Culture and Science) examines the artistic achievements of Egyptian moviemaker Y?suf Šah?n and possible influence of the Muslim science on medieval Polish scholars.

Part 6 (Religion and Philosophy) explores some philosophical concepts of the Confucian ethics and the contribution of Karma Bint Amad Al-Marwaziyya to preservation and transmission of some religious traditions of Islam.

"Dans la France du dix-huitième siècle, la familiarité avec les textes antiques diminue en même temps que s'améliore la connaissance de systèmes linguistiques radicalement différents, de l'arabe au chinois. Du fait des représentations des langues "orientales" comme de celles des langues "anciennes" (grec, latin, mais aussi hébreu ou même celte), les connaissances linguistiques évoluent de la théologie à l'étude historique et comparative, allant jusqu'à l'utilisation politique et à un savoir parfois fictionnel. Réimaginées, les langues anciennes et orientales nourrissent l'invention des conceptions contemporaines de l'art et de la littérature."--Page 4 of cover.
