It won’t answer all the questions that you have, but we are a small faculty and you should have little difficulty finding the person who will know the answer. The handbook is updated annually. Please note: if you are reading not for a degree in Oriental Studies but for a degree in European and Middle Eastern Languages, this handbook is not for you. Please consult the separate handbook for European and Middle Eastern Languages. http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/docs/Handbooks/Handbook_BA_EMEL.pdf Oxford is confusing to everyone at first, its institutions labyrinthine, and its terminology arcane. If in doubt, please don’t hesitate to ask. Here are a few essential terms to get you started: Collections: informal exams, usually held in 0th or 1st Week of term, to test your progress. Colleges take a close interest in collection results. Course: in Oxford used to refer to an entire degree course, e.g. Arabic and Islamic Studies, Persian with Islamic Art and Archaeology, Turkish with a Subsidiary Language. Each Islamic Studies course is defined by the 9-10 papers by which it is examined in the Final Honour School (FHS). FHS: the Second Public Examination or “Final Honour School”, taken at the very end of your course (Trinity Term, Year 4). Full Term: 1st to 8th Weeks, i.e. the eight teaching weeks of term. Teaching begins on the Monday of 1st Week and continues up to and including the Friday of 8th Week. Oxford does not observe Bank Holidays that fall within Full Term. N.B. Undergraduates are required to be in residence in Oxford by THURSDAY of 0th WEEK – i.e. the week preceding Full Term – in order to be present for collections. Colleges take non-attendance at this time very seriously. Michaelmas (Term): the first term of the academic year (Full Term early October to early December) Hilary (Term): the second term of the academic year (Full Term mid-January to mid- March). Trinity (Term): the third term of the academic year (Full Term mid-April to mid-June). Paper: an examination paper for Prelims or FHS, as prescribed by the syllabus of your course. (In its most technical sense, the term ‘paper’ includes non-written examinations such as Spoken Arabic, dissertations written in lieu of an examination for a Special Subject in Persian or Turkish, and theses written as a compulsory or optional component of one of the Arabic courses.) Prelims: the First Public Examination or “Preliminary Examination”, taken at the end of Term, Year 1. Schools: an informal way of referring to (1) the FHS (see above); (2) the building called Examination Schools in the High Street, where the two Public Examinations take place. Trinity (Term): the third term of the academic year (Full Term mid-April to mid-June). Tutor: (i) the person or persons assigned to give you tutorial teaching in any particular term (mainly in Years 3 and 4); (ii) the person in your college who is designated to oversee your studies and your wellbeing in a general way; this person will not necessarily be a specialist in Islamic Studies. Tutorial: a teaching session in which you (perhaps with one or two other students) meet with your appointed tutor (usually on a weekly basis) to discuss a particular piece of work that you have done. (See the section on Teaching later in this handbook.) Course Coordinator/ Tutorial Secretary: the person in the Faculty of Oriental Studies with general responsibility for organizing the teaching of the language you are studying. You may consult the tutorial secretary at the start of each term to discuss progress and teaching arrangements for the term. 6 THE ORIENTAL INSTITUTE Address: The Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE. Tel: 01865 (2)78200. Fax: 01865 (2)78190. E-mail: [name.surname - see list of Teaching Staff below]@orinst.ox.ac.uk. General. Most of the teaching for courses in Islamic Studies is faculty-based, and nearly all classes, lectures, and tutorials are held in the Oriental Institute. This is generally open during term time and vacation, Monday-Friday 9.00-7.00, Saturday 10.00-4.00pm; it is closed on Sundays. The Institute is home to most of the teaching staff in Islamic Studies (see ‘Teaching Staff’ below), and to the Faculty Office, classrooms, a language laboratory, a library (see ‘Libraries’ below) and a common room which serves morning coffee from 10.30-12.30 and afternoon tea from 3.30-4.30 during term. Some members of staff have rooms in the Khalili Research Centre for the Art and Material Culture of the Middle East, at 2-4 St John Street, between the Oriental Institute and the Sackler Library; others have rooms in the Middle East Centre, which is located at St Antony’s College, 68 Woodstock Road. Faculty Office. The Faculty Office (third floor, Room 315) is the centre of the Faculty’s administrative and bureaucratic machinery. It is from there that you may purchase photocopies of some of the Arabic, Persian and Turkish texts that you will be studying, particularly in your third and fourth years. The secretaries in this office are extremely busy; their lunch breaks should be respected. Joint Consultative Committee. Because of the relatively small numbers of staff and students involved, the Joint Consultative Committee (J.C.C.) in Islamic Studies is actually an open consultative meeting, normally held once a term in third week, immediately preceding the regular meeting of the teaching staff (Islamic World Subject Group); it provides a forum in which students can express views about their course, and discuss them with teaching staff, and in which also students are consulted about any proposed syllabus changes. The notices announcing open consultative meetings will be posted on the white board in the Institute foyer; but you will generally be reminded by the course coordinator via email. It is important that you attend these meetings if you wish to make your voices heard. You will also receive teaching evaluation forms, which solicit your views on lectures, classes, and the course in general. Please return these; they are rendered anonymous and taken seriously. But don’t feel that the J.C.C. and the evaluation forms are the only means for you to comment upon your course; talking to your fellow students, and to your tutors, can achieve swifter and more effective results. LIBRARIES Oriental Institute Library. The library of the Oriental Institute houses, or is responsible for the storage of, most of the books (and some of the periodicals) that you will need to read for courses in Islamic Studies, with the exception of works devoted exclusively to the modern history, politics, sociology or economics of the Middle East (see below, Middle East Centre Library). Administratively it is part of the Bodleian Library, so you 7 will first need to obtain your University ID card from your college; you should then register with a member of the library staff. Students may borrow up to 6 books for an initial period of 2 weeks. Some books are kept on reserve behind the reception desk; you must sign for these, and under no conditions should they leave the library. Eastern Art Library. The collection is housed in the Sackler Library (3rd Floor) and includes books on Islamic art. Book selection and cataloguing are carried out by staff of the Department of Oriental Collections, Bodleian Library. Opening hours and access arrangements are as for the Sackler Library. The books may not be borrowed. College Libraries. Some colleges (e.g. Pembroke, St John’s, Wadham, Balliol, Magdalen) have collections that include material in Islamic Studies; these are available only to students in these colleges. Middle East Centre Library. The library of the Middle East Centre at St Antony’s College specializes in the modern (post-1800) period in terms both of history and social sciences; it is open to all students reading Islamic Studies.

  • “The Spinning of the Mill Lightens My Soul”1
    PERSICA XVII, 2001 “THE SPINNING OF THE MILL LIGHTENS MY SOUL”1 Asghar Seyed-Gohrab Leiden University Introduction Within a more than four centuries old relationship between Dutch and Persian culture, there are a wide range of subjects luring the researcher to launch an investigation.2 One may, for instance, choose to examine the Persian names of flowers in Dutch, or to linger on Rembrandt’s interest in the Persian miniature painting, or to study the 17th century translation of Sa‘di’s (d. 1292) Bustan in Dutch and so on and so forth.3 As a native Per- sian living in the country of tulips, clogs and mills, I have chosen to study the mill in Persian literature. In recent years I have been more and more fascinated by the mills in the foggy, flat and green Dutch landscape, while being constantly reminded of the wide- spread literary metaphors, popular beliefs, riddles, proverbs and folksongs based on this ancient invention of mankind in Persian literature. It should be, however, stated at the outset that although I deal briefly with the relationship between ancient Persian windmills and their Western counterparts, this essay does not pretend to peruse the link between these windmills; the study is an attempt to demonstrate how the mill, whether a windmill, watermill or handmill, is presented in Persian literary sources as well as in popular ex- pressions. Moreover, a study of the mill at literary level is conductive; especially since in molinological literature, Persian literary sources are usually neglected. It is generally believed that the Persians played a major role in the invention, the development and the spread of the mill.

  • ʿaishī's ʿishrat-Nāma a Dah-Nāma with Unexpected Messengers
    e-ISSN 2385-3042 ISSN 1125-3789 Annali di Ca’ Foscari. Serie orientale Vol. 56 – Giugno 2020 ʿAishī’s ʿIshrat-nāma A Dah-nāma with Unexpected Messengers Anna Livia Beelaert Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract In the first part of this article I presented an edition with a short introduction of ʿAishī Shīrāzī’s ʿIshrat-nāma, a poem belonging to the dah-nāma genre. In this second part I discuss the messengers who convey the messages between the two lovers. At the request of his patron, ʿInāyat, an amir of the Aq-Quyūnlū Khalīl b. Uzun Ḥasan, instead of the usual messenger, the wind, ʿAishī chose for ten musical instruments. I argue that the choice of these instruments, and the way they are decribed, are not accidental but subtly convey the evolution of the protagonists’ feelings. Keywords ʿAishī Shīrāzī. ʿIshrat-nāma.

  • Dick Davis ___On Not Translating Hafez
    davis2004 Source: http://cat.middlebury.edu/~nereview/25-1-2/Davis.html (downloaded Apr. 2015) From the New England Review, 25,1-2 (2004), Translation Double Issue Dick Davis _____ On Not Translating Hafez A couple of years ago I was asked by a publisher if I would be interested in producing a volume of verse translations of the poems of Hafez. I was very pleased to be asked, since Hafez (he flourished in the mid-fourteenth century) is pretty universally regarded as the greatest of Persian lyric poets, and to produce versions of his poems seemed a serious challenge worthy of serious effort. I began trying my hand at a few, but rewrite and start over as I might, I consistently came up with generally disappointing results. All the problems I had encountered when trying to translate other medieval Persian poets seemed compounded, and then, as it were, distilled and essentialized, in trying to translate Hafez’s ghazals, and my frustration set me to thinking about just what those problems are. This essay is a result of those ruminations. Two kinds of problems for the translator of a literary text are well-recognized, and these we may call, for convenience’s sake: first, the linguistic and second, the cultural; naturally, the two often overlap. The linguistic problem is the easiest to formulate. We know that exact synonyms do not exist between languages; idioms are even more challenging to the translator and a literal word-for-word translation will often convey virtually nothing of the originally intended meaning. Persian, for example, has some extremely inventive—one might almost call them Gongoristic—ways of cursing or threatening people, and a literal translation will convey very little of their intended force.

  • The History of Literature I
    The History Of Literature I September 23, 2020 Category: History Download as PDF The word “poet[ry]” is derived from the Greek “poieses”, which means the will to create / transform. When it comes to the Reactionary proprietors of institutionalized dogmatism, then, “poieses” is naturally seen as a dire threat. “Wisdom Literature” goes back to the 3rd millennium B.C. with both the Sumerians and Egyptians (see Stuart Weeks’ work on the topic). The authors of the Hebrew Bible openly recognize this fact in First Kings 5:10. In the 20th century B.C., the “Admonition Of [The Murdered] Pharaoh Amenemhat To His Son, Senusret” was composed in Egypt. When it comes to ancient epics, the record goes back to the Sumerian “Epic of Gilgamesh”, which dates back to the late 3rd millennium B.C. The Akkadian “Enuma Elish” dates back to the early 2nd millennium B.C. In the early 11th century B.C., the Egyptian “Story of Wenamun” (an epic composed in Hieratic) was composed. Poetry dates to c. 700 B.C., with the Greek epics of Homer and Hesiod. Homer’s “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” are still considered classics to the present day. And the legacy of lyric poetry goes back to Alkman of Sparta in the 7th century B.C. The oldest anthology of poetry is the “Shi-jing” [Book of Songs; a.k.a. “Classic of Poetry”] from the Zhou period in China. It was an ongoing compilation of material that started in the 11th century B.C. and continued on through the 7th century B.C.

  • A Treasury from Tabriz: a Fourteenth-Century Manuscript Containing 209 Works in Persian and Arabic*
    PERSICA XIX, 2003 A TREASURY FROM TABRIZ: A FOURTEENTH-CENTURY MANUSCRIPT CONTAINING 209 WORKS IN PERSIAN AND ARABIC* A.A. Seyed-Gohrab 1. INTRODUCTION This article is an introduction to a newly published facsimile edition of a rather unique miscellany containing 209 titles both in Arabic and Persian. The first paragraphs of the article are devoted to various physical aspects of the manuscript and palaeography, as well as the copyist’s life and work. The remaining paragraphs introduce the manuscript’s con- tents in a thematic way, beginning with literary works, followed by religious sciences, phi- losophy and cosmographical texts. The manuscript is written on light brown Oriental paper. It contains 368 folios (734 numbered pages in the facsimile edition), measuring ca. 320 x 190 mm (reproduced in the facsimile edition in a uniform format of 310 x 215 mm). The written area covers ca. 200 x 185 mm, with 41 lines to the page in a varying layout. The quires are numbered, with a few numbers still visible. The manuscript originally belonged to Mirza MuÌammad-¨Ali Tafrishi, better known as Ma¨adin al-Mulk. The library of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis- i Showra-yi Islami) in Tehran bought this miscellany in 1995 and is now preserved under the number 14590. No information is provided in the introduction to the facsimile about the binding of the manuscript. Most of the texts were copied between 721-723/1321-1323. Three treatises were copied at a later date (724/1323, 725/1324 and 736/1335). According to ¨Abd al-Îusayn Îaˆiri, the present title of the facsimile is taken from an appellation occurring in the introduction of Malik MaÌmud Tabrizi’s Diwan.1 Safina is an Arabic word, literally meaning “ship.” Other synonyms are jung, a Chinese word referring to a kind of sailboat, and majmu¨a, a word used to refer to a collection of manuscripts containing materials from different genres and disciplines, which were often made for per- sonal usage.
