Two Dozen Rare Islamic Manuscripts from National Library of Israel to Be Displayed in United States for First Time – for Immediate Release– 11 February 2018 26 Shvat 5778 Jerusalem Two Dozen Rare Islamic Manuscripts from National Library of Israel to be Displayed in United States for First Time – For Immediate Release– • Largest ever display of National Library of Israel treasures outside Israel • 24 rare manuscripts in Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Hebrew sent from Jerusalem • Royal Quran from personal library of Ottoman sultan to be displayed in Manhattan New York and Jerusalem – Twenty-four illustrated and illuminated manuscripts from the collections of the National Library of Israel (NLI) will be showcased as part of "Romance and Reason: Islamic Transformations of the Classical Past", opening at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) on February 14, 2018. The exhibit brings together an exceptional group of rare Islamic manuscripts that testify to the fertile relationship between medieval Islam and the classical world. It has been organized by ISAW in partnership with the National Library of Israel. Notable National Library of Israel treasures featured in "Romance and Reason" include a sixteenth century royal Quran lavishly illuminated with gold and personal stamps of Ottoman sultans; a rare fourteenth century Hebrew translation from Arabic of Aristotelian philosophy, begun in Spain and completed in Italy after the Iberian Peninsula's anti-Jewish riots of 1391; a seventeenth century work by Muslim polymath Nasir al-Din Tusi that preserves lost geometrical theorems of the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes; and a richly illustrated copy of Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi's Book of Glory from 19th century India. The Persian, Arabic, Turkish, and Hebrew manuscripts from the National Library of Israel and other partner collections range from lavishly illuminated romances, to complex mathematical, astronomical, and scientific treatises. Treasures sent from Jerusalem to New York include manuscripts written from the 14th – 19th centuries in Iran, Spain, India and the Ottoman Empire, playing a central role in the exhibition's engrossing visual record of how, over the course of centuries, scholars, scientists, doctors, artists, and others in the Islamic world transformed Ancient Greek material for their own day. "With this exhibition in the heart of New York, we are proud to celebrate Israel's cultural richness and partner with ISAW in sharing our treasures with the American public. The National Library of Israel is invested in opening access to its collections and resources through digital, educational and cultural initiatives, as well as collaborations with other leading institutions like this. We are always striving to share our treasures with new and diverse audiences in Israel and across the globe," said National Library of Israel Director Oren Weinberg. About "Romance and Reason: Islamic Transformations of the Classical Past" "Romance and Reason" opens a window onto the fruitful discourse between Islam and the classical world with two thematic installations: one devoted to Islamic versions of the story of Alexander the Great, the other to scientific, medical, and mathematic topics. The exhibition presents some thirty illuminated versions of the medieval Persian accounts of the life of Alexander: the Shahnamah, or Book of Kings, an epic poem written by Abu al-Qasim Firdausi between 977 and 1010 CE, and the Khamsa, or Quintet, by Nizami Ganjavi, dating from the late 12th century CE. With a variety of exquisitely executed illuminations, the manuscripts were created over the course of five centuries. Together, they portray the evolution of Iskandar’s character and identity, showing him as warrior, king, seeker of truth, prophet, and more. 11 February 2018 26 Shvat 5778 Jerusalem The second section of "Romance and Reason" is devoted to medicine, mathematics, science, and philosophy. The advances in these fields – including Nasir al-Din Tusi's improvements to Greek astronomy, Avicenna's corrections of Galen's medical theories, and al-Kashi's innovations in mathematics – depended on massive and unprecedented efforts sponsored by the Abbasid caliphs, between 750 CE and the end of the tenth century, to translate Greek works into Arabic. Translators and commentators rendered almost the entire extant classical Greek corpus into Arabic, texts which then served as the foundation for discovery and until the modern age. "Romance and Reason" will incorporate items from other leading collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Morgan Library & Museum, the National Library of Medicine, the Brooklyn Museum, Princeton University, the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. The exhibition is curated by Roberta Casagrande-Kim, Research Associate, ISAW; Samuel Thrope, Selector, National Library of Israel; and Raquel Ukeles, Curator of the Islam and Middle East Collection, National Library of Israel. Jennifer Y. Chi is the curatorial and design manager for the project. "Romance and Reason: Islamic Transformations of the Classical Past" will open on February 14, 2018 and continue until May 13, 2018. More details can be found on ISAW's website: http://isaw.nyu.edu/exhibitions/future-list About the National Library of Israel and its Islam and Middle East Collection Founded in Jerusalem in 1892, the National Library of Israel (NLI) is home to the intellectual and cultural treasures of the Jewish people, the State of Israel and its region throughout the ages. NLI has recently embarked upon an ambitious journey of renewal driven by the principle of opening access to its treasures for diverse audiences in Israel and around the globe. This is taking place through a range of innovative educational, cultural and digital initiatives, as well as through the construction of a new landmark complex designed by Herzog and de Meuron. The new home of the NLI, adjacent to Israel's Parliament in Jerusalem, is schedule to open in 2021. The National Library of Israel holds the country's premiere collection of Islamic Studies materials, which serve as a foundation for a range of cultural, education and digital initiatives. The Islam and Middle East Collection, one of the NLI's four core collections, was founded with the 1924 acquisition and transfer to Jerusalem of pioneering Islamic studies scholar Ignaz Goldziher's private library, and today numbers more than 400,000 volumes, including 134,000 in Arabic. Along with this ever-expanding research collection, the Islam and Middle East Collection also houses 1,800 Arabic, Persian, and Turkish manuscripts dating from the 9th to the 19th centuries, as well as significant collections of photographs, music, posters and more. The majority of the collection's manuscripts were acquired and donated by Abraham Shalom Yahuda (1877-1951), a Jerusalem-born scholar and one of the early twentieth century's most important collectors of Islamic and Persian manuscripts. The rich and multifaceted collection includes works from the central Islamic lands, spanning all major Islamic disciplines and literary traditions. Highlights include illuminated items from royal Mamluk, Mughal, and Ottoman libraries; scholarly works copied during or near the lifetimes of their authors; and later autograph copies.

  • On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi
    Official Digitized Version by Victoria Arakelova; with errata fixed from the print edition ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI YEREVAN SERIES FOR ORIENTAL STUDIES Edited by Garnik S. Asatrian Vol.1 SIAVASH LORNEJAD ALI DOOSTZADEH ON THE MODERN POLITICIZATION OF THE PERSIAN POET NEZAMI GANJAVI Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies Yerevan 2012 Siavash Lornejad, Ali Doostzadeh On the Modern Politicization of the Persian Poet Nezami Ganjavi Guest Editor of the Volume Victoria Arakelova The monograph examines several anachronisms, misinterpretations and outright distortions related to the great Persian poet Nezami Ganjavi, that have been introduced since the USSR campaign for Nezami‖s 800th anniversary in the 1930s and 1940s. The authors of the monograph provide a critical analysis of both the arguments and terms put forward primarily by Soviet Oriental school, and those introduced in modern nationalistic writings, which misrepresent the background and cultural heritage of Nezami. Outright forgeries, including those about an alleged Turkish Divan by Nezami Ganjavi and falsified verses first published in Azerbaijan SSR, which have found their way into Persian publications, are also in the focus of the authors‖ attention. An important contribution of the book is that it highlights three rare and previously neglected historical sources with regards to the population of Arran and Azerbaijan, which provide information on the social conditions and ethnography of the urban Iranian Muslim population of the area and are indispensable for serious study of the Persian literature and Iranian culture of the period. ISBN 978-99930-69-74-4 The first print of the book was published by the Caucasian Centre for Iranian Studies in 2012.

  • Extracts from Nizami Ganjavi's Poetry 1. One Night Desperate Majnun
    OUDCE Islamic Mystical Poetry 2 Extracts from Nizami Ganjavi’s poetry 1. One night desperate Majnun prayed tearfully, “Oh Lord of mine who has abandoned me. Why has Thou ‘Majnun’ called me? Why hast thou made a lover of Leila of me? Thou hast made me a pillow of wild thorns, Made me roam day and night without a home. What dost Thou want from my imprisonment? Oh Lord of mine, listen to my plea!” The Lord replied, “Oh lost man, With Leila’s love I have your heart filled; The beauty of Leila that you see Is just another reflection of Me”. (from ‘Layla and Majnun’ in Islamic Mystical Poetry, p. 65) 2. “This text requires a single name, not two,” He answered them. “Majnun alone will do. If someone delves within a lover’s heart, He’ll find the loved one in its deepest part.” “But why,” they asked him, “from among the two It’s Layla who’s been cut away, not you?” “It’s wrong,” he said, “for her to be the cover That hides within itself this ardent lover. I am the veil for what should be internal. I am the outer shell; she is the kernel.” (from ‘Layla and Majnun’ in Nizami Ganjavi and His Poetry, p. 23 ) 3. As the pen began its first movement It produced first word and speech. When they raised the curtain of non-existence, The first manifestation was word and speech. Until the word gave voice to the heart, The soul did not submit its free body to clay.

  • The Idea of Sadness. the Richness of Persian Experiences and Expressions
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXVII, Z. 2, 2014, (s. 68–80) SYLWIA SURDYKOWSKA The Idea of Sadness. The Richness of Persian Experiences and Expressions Abstract One of the most important notions permeating the culture of Iran is the idea of sadness. It is testified by the fact that, among other things, the idea of sorrow is ever- present in Iranians’ everyday life, where it manifests itself in the propensity for tears, nostalgia, longing and succumbing to overwhelming emotion (also in the social and political sphere). Iranians themselves knowingly admit that sadness is part and parcel of the Iranian identity and they wonder why it is so. To answer that question, one should start with tracing the manifestations of sadness in different areas of the culture. In this paper, I shall attempt to identify the spheres of the Persian culture (language, religious rituals, literature, art and behaviour of Iranian people) where sorrow manifests itself in various guise, and I will strive demonstrate the richness of Persian experiences and expressions of sadness in Iranian culture. Persian literature represents the main source material used in the paper. Keywords: Iran, sadness, Persian literature, Persian culture, emotions The studies on the idea of shahadat, martyrdom that I was conducting for a few years1 uncovered another intriguing research problem. I directed my attention towards the idea of sadness and its pervasive presence in Persian culture. Idea of sorrow is ever- present in Iranians’ everyday life, where it manifests itself in the propensity for tears, nostalgia, longing and succumbing to overwhelming emotion (also in the social and 1 See: Sylwia Surdykowska, Martyrdom and Ecstasy.

In fact, on the contrary, materials obtained from scientific literature should be a source of political science and journalistic materials. In this context, we see that attempts to find a "brand" in historical research are still ongoing. We try to reveal the general picture, taking contradictions on this topic from the sources of the works of Nizami Ganjavi and Firdosi, as well as on the basis of existing historical documents. Has there ever been a state called Turan in history? If not,
