A comparative 549 history of the term and its meanings found in other languages of culture in the Near, Middle and Far East Upper Egypt: a “Shia” powerhouse in the Fatimid period?* Delia CORTESE When arriving in Aswan, the visitor’s attention cannot help being captured by the sighting of the most enchanting landmark to adorn the western bank of the Nile. At the top of a hill, a solemn yet simple domed mausoleum towers over the hustle and bustle of life on the riv- er below. The landmark is the resting place of His Highness Muham- mad Shah Aga Khan III (d. 1957), the 48th Ismaili Imam. Opposite to the mausoleum, on the east side of the Nile, another burial site re- minds the visitor of the age-long association of Egypt with Ismaili his- tory: the so-called “Fatimid cemetery”, disfigured by a century-long toxic combination of misguided archaeological practices and adven- turous urban planning. That the Ismaili Imam chose Aswan as the place where to return to “the land of his fathers,”1 opposite the Fatimid necropolis - thus reinforcing through architecture - a sense of continui- ty between past and recent Ismaili history in Egypt is -at first sight- somewhat intriguing. What role did Upper Egypt play in Ismaili histo- ry that was so significant as to merit its choice as the Imam’s resting place? Why is it that we find in Aswan -of all places- a necropolis that is the only landmark in the whole of Egypt that today formally fea- tures the term “Fatimid” in its nomenclature? It is generally accepted that before, during and after the Fatimid rule in Egypt, the people in that country were and continued to remain pre- * Parts of this paper were presented at the annual conference of the Middle East Studies Association of America, held in New Orleans in October 2013, within a panel kindly sponsored by The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London.

Consequently, the impact of Shiism on Egypt’s religious, cultural and social life has been assumed -with two notable exceptions- to have been negligible and therefore not worthy of in-depth investigation. Yaacov Lev was the first to challenge this assumption commenting on the Ismaili tenor and character of religious life in Fatimid Egypt and to draw our attention to aspects of Shii activism in the Fatimid capital. More recently Devin J. Stewart has provided a nuanced picture of the Shii presence in Egypt, by combining linguistic and historical evidence, which brings him to conclude that the extent of Shii influence in medieval Egypt has been under-estimated.2 The limited attention paid so far to Shiism in Fatimid Egypt is partly due to a predominantly Cairo-centred schol- arly approach to the study of Fatimid history.3 If we consider instead tackling the history of this period as a “history of Egypt under the Fat- imids” and thus looking at the “provinces” rather than the centre of government, one unlocks a complex picture in which “Shiism” -used broadly here to cover a spectrum identities ranging from varied forms of ‘Alid affiliations to Ismaili adherence- emerges as having played a significant part in shaping the life of Egypt and the destiny of the dyn- asty.

C". C ,\,,: 41-------<..<.LI-hY,-""lA""""","""I,--ft-'t _ '" I) Abstract Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafii, a modem Egyptian writer with classical style, is not studied by scholars of Arabic literature as are his contemporary liberals, such as Taha Hussein. This thesis provides a historical background and a brief literary survey that helps contextualize al-Rafii, the period, and the area he came from. AI-Rafii played an important role in the two literary and intellectual schools during the Arabic literary revival, which extended from the French expedition (1798-1801) to around the middle of the twentieth century. These two schools, known as the Old and the New, vied to shape the literature and thought of Egypt and other Arab countries. The former, led by al-Rafii, promoted a return to classical Arabic styles and tried to strengthen the Islamic identity of Egypt. The latter called for cutting off Egypt from its Arabic history and rejected the dominance and continuity of classical Arabic language. AI-Rafii contributed to the Revival by supporting a line ofthought that has not been favored by pro-Westernization governments, which made his legacy almost forgotten. Deriving his literature from the canon of Arabic language, culture, and history, al-Rafii produced a literature based on a revived version of classical Arabic literature, an accomplishment which makes him unique among modem Arab writers.

For instance, in an English text it would be preferable to refer to the capital of Egypt as Cairo, and perhaps include a reference to its romanized form (Al Qāhirah).

  • How Ancient Egypt Became Common Knowledge to Britons, 1870-1922

    How Ancient Egypt Became Common Knowledge to Britons, 1870-1922

    “The Glamour of Egypt Possesses Us”: How Ancient Egypt Became Common Knowledge to Britons, 1870-1922 Holly Polish A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History Professor Katharine Norris, Faculty Director American University May 2009 Polish 1 Fun , a comedy magazine, reported on the 1896 “discovery” of an important papyrus, found in Egypt. 1 The papyrus depicts ancient Egyptians playing golf and wearing kilts and tams. It is a parody of paintings with which many are familiar, those in which figures are drawn alongside hieroglyphs relating a story. The included caption reports that the papyrus was examined by “experts on Egyptian matters” who “have all agreed that it deals, if not with golf itself, at least with a game of remarkable similarity.” 2 The writer continues and suggests that Scotland may want to reconsider its claim to the pastime. In that brief caption, the writer raises the point that the public relies on the work of “the Professor” and “experts on Egyptian matters” to decipher the ancient culture, and, furthermore, to decipher the origins of their own heritage. The satirist’s work depends on the British public’s familiarity with ancient Egyptian art and expression to be able to understand the joke. The parody in Fun was conceived in the context of an exciting period for study of Egypt, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While travelers, scholars, and archaeologists developed precise methodology and were able to travel more easily, the study of Egypt, took on the title Egyptology and, like many disciplines, became formalized.
  • 'That' in the GRAMMAR of EGYPTIAN ARABIC Rehab Gad

    'That' in the GRAMMAR of EGYPTIAN ARABIC Rehab Gad

    THE ROLE OF illi ‘that’ IN THE GRAMMAR OF EGYPTIAN ARABIC Rehab Gad Abstract This paper investigates the role of illi in the grammar of one of the colloquial dialects of Arabic; that is Egyptian Arabic (EA). It investigates how illi affects the formation of wh- questions (with initial and in-situ wh-phrases) and relative clauses. Since the classification of illi has been a subject of debate in the literature, the study aims at providing a new analysis for it. The major claim is that illi belongs to the class of functional categories which serves the grammatical function of a relative pronoun. This paper presents data where illi acts as both a relative pronoun and a licensor for wh-fronting. The following questions are addressed: 1. If illi is analysed as a relative pronoun, how can we account for its occurrence in an initial position within some wh-questions without having to propose a movement analysis? 2. Can illi be classified as a complementizer that shares some syntactic properties with the complementizer inn ‘that‟? 3. Within wh-questions, does illi behave as a question particle? 4. How can we account for the EA data where illi has the dual function of a relative pronoun and a complementizer? The major claim is that illi does not belong to the class of question particles which mark a yes/no question and a wh-question. Though illi and inn „that‟ occur as C elements equivalent to the English „that‟, illi does not exhibit the morphological or the functional properties of inn „that‟, hence it cannot be classified as a complementizer.
