Abstract

Né à Šaqrā’, un village du Ğabal ‘Āmil (l'actuel Liban Sud), Muhsin al-Amīn s'installa en 1901 à Damas où il s'imposa comme l'un des chefs spirituels de la communauté chiite du Bilād al-Šām. Il y fonda une école, organisa le culte et composa de nombreux ouvrages, avec pour principal souci de réformer la société, de la rendre meilleure au regard de la Loi et plus apte à affronter les défis posés par la modernité européenne. Ce récit de vie, extrait de son monumental dictionnaire bio-bibliographique A ‘yān al-šī‘a, retrace le parcours d'un savant, évoque quelques aspects de son magistère et témoigne des boulversements du siècle auxquels il prit part. Toute la sève du livre réside dans la narration de micro-événements et de pratiques quotidiennes et coutumières, rustiques au Ğabal ‘Āmil et citadines à Nağaf ou à Damas, que vécut Muḥsin al-Amīn. Muhsin al-Amīn was born in Šaqrā’, a village of Ğabal ‘Āmil (South Lebanon today). In 1901, he settled in Damascus, where he came to be regarded as one of the spiritual leaders of the Sī’ī community in Bilād al-Sâm. Amīn established there a religious school, he undertook the organization of worship and produced numerous works. His primary aim was to reform society, to increase its conformity to the law, as well as its capacity to face the challenges of European modernity. This life story is taken from Amīn's monumental bio-bibliographical dictionary, A ‘yān al-šī‘ā. It pictures the steps of a scholar in the quest of knowledge, brings forward several aspects of Amīn's teaching, and gives evidence of the turbulence of his times. This book gets its specific flavour from the telling of small incidents and of everyday practices — rural in Ğabal ‘Āmil, urban in Nağaf and Damascus — that Amīn experienced himself. ولد السيد محسن الأمين في شقراء وهي قوية من قرى جبل عامل(لبنان الجنوبي حاليا). وفي سنة ١ ٠ ٩ ١ استقر في دمشق حيث فرض نفسه مرجعا من مراجع الطائفة الشيعية في بلاد الشام ٠ وفي دمشق أسس السيد مدرسة وقام بتنظيم الحياة الدينية…

Abstract

The story of how Arab editors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries revolutionized Islamic literatureIslamic book culture dates back to late antiquity, when Muslim scholars began to write down their doctrines on parchment, papyrus, and paper and then to compose increasingly elaborate analyses of, and commentaries on, these ideas. Movable type was adopted in the Middle East only in the early nineteenth century, and it wasn't until the second half of the century that the first works of classical Islamic religious scholarship were printed there. But from that moment on, Ahmed El Shamsy reveals, the technology of print transformed Islamic scholarship and Arabic literature.In the first wide-ranging account of the effects of print and the publishing industry on Islamic scholarship, El Shamsy tells the fascinating story of how a small group of editors and intellectuals brought forgotten works of Islamic literature into print and defined what became the classical canon of Islamic thought. Through the lens of the literary culture of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Arab cities—especially Cairo, a hot spot of the nascent publishing business—he explores the contributions of these individuals, who included some of the most important thinkers of the time. Through their efforts to find and publish classical literature, El Shamsy shows, many nearly lost works were recovered, disseminated, and harnessed for agendas of linguistic, ethical, and religious reform.Bringing to light the agents and events of the Islamic print revolution, Rediscovering the Islamic Classics is an absorbing examination of the central role printing and its advocates played in the intellectual history of the modern Arab world.
