Abstract

"A probing inquiry into medieval court struggles, this book shows the relationship between intellectual conflict and the geopolitics of empire. It examines the Persian Buyids' takeover of the great Arab caliphate in Iraq, the counter-Crusade under Saladin, and the literature of sovereignty in Spain and Italy at the cusp of the Renaissance. The question of high culture--who best qualified as a poet, the function of race and religion in forming a courtier, what languages to use in which official ceremonies--drove much of medieval writing, and even policy itself. From the last moments of the Abbasid Empire, to the military campaign for Jerusalem, to the rise of Crusades literature in spoken Romance languages, authors and patrons took a competitive stance as a way to assert their place in a shifting imperial landscape."--Back cover.

Abstract

Torah, Bible, Coran : revenir aux textes, ouvrir les livres, entendre les paroles, reconstituer l’aventure de la naissance et de la transmission des écrits fondateurs des trois monothéismes, c’est ce que proposent ici chercheurs, historiens et conservateurs venus d’horizons très divers, découvrant à travers la matérialité irrégulière des supports – papyrus, pierre, parchemin ou papier – la passion qui anima une chaîne ininterrompue d’acteurs souvent discrets, parfois illustres, qui ont assuré de générations en générations la transmission de ces livres de Parole : scribes, copistes, enlumineurs et typographes, mais aussi traducteurs et commentateurs. Bibles hébraïques décorées de micrographie, manuscrits hébreux célébrant la sortie d’Égypte ou précieux fragments de la mer Morte, fragiles feuillets millénaires d’une Épître de saint Paul ou évangéliaires chrétiens sur parchemin sertis dans de somptueuses reliures d’orfèvrerie, bibles illustrées du Moyen Âge qui inventent l’art du récit par l’image, performances typographiques des bibles polyglottes des Temps nouveaux, indépassable chef-d’œuvre de Gutenberg ou vigoureux monument de Luther, fragments du Coran, parmi les plus anciens conservés, vibrantes calligraphies des manuscrits coraniques ou splendeurs des représentations persanes, foisonnement de l’imagerie populaire offerte à la dévotion ou austères grammaires hébraïques dédiées à l’étude, tous les documents rassemblés dans cette exposition, qu’ils proviennent des collections de la Bibliothèque ou qu’il s’agisse de prêts exceptionnels, tous relèvent « à la fois de l’histoire et de la croyance, mais aussi de l’art et de la mémoire ». Comme le rappelle Dominique Borne dans son introduction : « Il faut tenir en gerbe les mille et une lectures : historique, rationnelle, poétique, symbolique, religieuse, mystique, communautaire. Les Livres ouverts introduisent le dialogue entre l’homme et son au-delà – que cet au-delà soit une transcendance de l’ordre du sacré ou une intériorité sans référence au divin. » La Bibliothèque nationale de France contribue ici à sa manière aux débats de la cité sur le fait religieux en invitant chacun à l’indispensable fréquentation des sources.

Abstract

A pathbreaking history of Sufism, from the earliest centuries of Islam to the presentAfter centuries as the most important ascetic-mystical strand of Islam, Sufism saw a sharp decline in the twentieth century, only to experience a stunning revival in recent decades. In this comprehensive new history of Sufism from the earliest centuries of Islam to today, Alexander Knysh, a leading expert on the subject, reveals the tradition in all its richness.Knysh explores how Sufism has been viewed by both insiders and outsiders since its inception. He examines the key aspects of Sufism, from definitions and discourses to leadership, institutions, and practices. He devotes special attention to Sufi approaches to the Qur'an, drawing parallels with similar uses of scripture in Judaism and Christianity. He traces how Sufism grew from a set of simple moral-ethical precepts into a sophisticated tradition with professional Sufi masters (shaykhs) who became powerful players in Muslim public life but whose authority was challenged by those advocating the equality of all Muslims before God. Knysh also examines the roots of the ongoing conflict between the Sufis and their fundamentalist critics, the Salafis-a major fact of Muslim life today.Based on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, Sufism is an indispensable account of a vital aspect of Islam.

Abstract

For over four centuries the principal source of Christian European knowledge of Islam stemmed from a project sponsored by Peter the Venerable, ninth abbot of Cluny, in 1142. This consisted of Latin translations of five Arabic works, including the first translation of the Koran in a western language. Known as the Toledan Collection, it was eventually printed in 1543 with an introduction by Martin Luther. The abbot also completed a handbook of Islam beliefs and a major analytical and polemical work, Liber contra sectam Saracenorum; annotated editions of these texts are included in this book. Originally published in 1964.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
