• My writing of this book was made pos si ble by two yearlong sabbaticals, the frst in 2014–15 at the Zentrum Moderner Orient (now Leibniz Zentrum Mod- erner Orient) in Berlin with funding from the Volks wagen Foundation, and the second in 2017–18 at Harvard Law School’s Islamic L egal Studies Program: SHARIASource (now the Program in Islamic Law). I am grateful to the di- rector of the ZMO, Ulrike Freitag, and the director of the Program in Islamic Law, Intisar Rabb, for their generous welcome and their support of my research. Back home at the University of Chicago, I have benefted from the insights and friendship of my colleagues and students in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I would especially like to thank the students in my “Islamic Classics and the Printing Press” and “Critical Arabic Philology” seminars for their close reading of several key texts with me. I have had the chance to pre sent aspects of my research in numerous con- ferences, workshops, and lectures, and I am thankful for the comments and suggestions I have received on these occasions. In par tic u lar, the workshop on Islamic print culture that I or ga nized at the ZMO in May 2015 and the conference on Islamicate book history or ga nized by Maribel Fierro, Sabine Schmidtke, and Sarah Stroumsa in March 2015 provided opportunities for illuminating discussions on aspects of my proj ect. Over the years, countless exchanges with colleagues near and far have helped me refne the arguments and check the evidence presented in the fol- lowing pages (even when said colleagues vehemently disagree with me), and I am im mensely grateful for the generosity with which they have shared their time and knowledge.

Zeer tot onzen spijt hebben wij ons bij de door hem aangevoerde redenen moeten neerleggen. In zijn plaats werd Dr. A.J.C.

  • Mystical Dimensions of Islam
    by ANNEMARIE SCHIMMEL MYSTICAL DIMENSIONS OF ISLAM The Universit y of North Carolina Press Chapel Hill 244 / SUFI ORDERS AND FRATERNITIES very popular, but fo r him the samdc was mainly a practical device to dissipate the lust of the dervishes, which might otherwise find other, more dangerous ways of distraction. Abu Sa cid's name is , or rather was , usually connecte d wit h th e first examples of Persian mystical poetry. He is the alleged author of a number o f poem s in which the ruba'i, quatrain, with it s rhyme scheme a a x a, is used as a vehicle for mystical thought. We ca n b e quite sure that none of the quatrains formerly attributed t o him are actually his ; according t o hi s ow n statement , his love-intoxicate d teacher Bishr ibn Yasin was the author o f such verses—a genre tha t later became very popular. 20 A true representative of early Sufi poetry in quatrains, thoug h i n a popular meter and vernacular speech, is Baba Tahir, who died i n Khorramabad in the first part of the eleventh century. 21 Abu Sa cid passed away in 1049 . It is said that on his deathbed h e bestowed his khirqa t o Ahmad-i Jam Zandapil , who was just abou t to be born. Ahmad-i Jam was a Persian saint who was the opposite of Ab u Sa cld i n almos t ever y respect: stern , prou d o f his mystical power, drawing people to repentance, not t o love, and ofte n usin g his spiritual strengt h for revenge and punishment.

  • The Key of the Mysteries
    THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES (LA CLEF DES GRANDS MYSTÈRES) BY ELIPHAS LEVI THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES ACCORDING TO ENOCH, ABRAHAM, HERMES TRISMEGISTUS AND SOLOMON BY ELIPHAS LEVI TRANSLATED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION, BY ALEISTER CROWLEY “Religion says: ‘Believe and you will un- derstand.’ Science comes to say to you: ‘Un- derstand and you will believe.’ “At that moment the whole of science will change front; the spirit, so long dethroned and forgotten, will take its ancient place; it will be demonstrated that the old traditions are all true, that the whole of paganism is only a system of corrupted and misplaced truths, that it is sufficient to cleanse them, so to say, and to put them back again in their place, to see them shine with all their rays. In a word, all ideas will change, and since on all sides a multitude of the elect cry in concert, ‘Come, Lord, come!’ why should you blame the men who throw themselves forward into that majestic future, and pride themselves on having foreseen it?” (J. De Maistre, Soirées de St. Petersbourg.) TRANSLATOR’S NOTE IN the biographical and critical essay which Mr. Waite prefixes to his Mysteries of Magic he says: ‘A word must be added of the method of this digest, which claims to be something more than translation and has been infinitely more laborious. I believe it to be in all respects faithful, and where it has been necessary or possible for it to be literal, there also it is invariably literal.’ We agree that it is either more or less than translation, and the following examples selected at haz- ard in the course of half-an-hour will enable the reader to judge whether Mr.

  • 157 Alessandro Mengozzi, Ed., Religious Poetry in Vernacular Syriac from Northern Iraq (17Th–20Th Centuries). an Anthology, CS
    BOOK REVIEWS Alessandro Mengozzi, ed., Religious Poetry in Vernacular Syriac from Northern Iraq (17th–20th Centuries). An Anthology, CSCO 627–628 / Syr. 240–241 (Louvain: Peeters, 2011). Pp. xx + 129, €65; pp. xxiv + 163; €60. AARON MICHAEL BUTTS, YALE UNIVERSITY The two volumes under review contain editions and English translations of seven poems dating from the early seventeenth to the late twentieth century. The poems are written in what the editor terms ‘Vernacular Syriac’ (or ‘Sureth’, from Classical Syriac surāʾit ‘in Syriac’), which encompasses a variety of North-Eastern Neo- Aramaic dialects that were spoken, and occasionally written, by East-Syriac authors, whether Church of the East or Chaldean, in Northern Iraq. All of the poems belong to the dorekta genre, which is generally characterized by stanzas of 3, 4, or 6 metered, rhyming lines. The poems in the volumes expand the scope of the editor’s earlier collection of seventeenth-century dorekta poems by Israel of Alqosh and Joseph of Telkepe, which appeared in the same series.1 Each of the seven poems is presented in a critical edition in East-Syriac script (the denotation of vowels follows the manuscripts) and English translation along with an introduction. The poems are arranged in chronological order. The earliest poem in the collection, and possibly the earliest dated example of the dorekta genre extant, is On Repentance. In two of the three manuscripts, it is attributed to a certain Hormizd of Alqosh, who may tentatively be identified as the son of the well-known Israel of Alqosh. The text stands in the tradition of East-Syriac penitential hymns, and it contains numerous exempla drawn from the Old and New Testaments.

  • Southwestern Montana Music Assessment : a Comparison Between Rural Montana and the Extreme Rural National Assessment of Educatio
    Southwestern Montana Music Assessment : a comparison between rural Montana and the extreme rural national assessment of educational progress sample by Richard T Sietsema A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Richard T Sietsema (1988) Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the music background and music achievement of 13-year-old rural students in Southwestern Montana. Data for the rural Montana students were established through utilization of selected music exercises found in the Second National Music Assessment component of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Responses to the assessment exercises of the Southwestern Montana students, expressed as percentages, were compared with responses of 13-year-old student's in the population sample drawn from the "Extreme Rural" type of community in the "Western Region" of the United States. The population for the author's study consisted of all 13-year-olds attending designated elementary schools in a six county area in Southwestern Montana. One, two, and three teacher K-8 schools were referred to as "Rural" while larger K-8 schools were referred to as "Town Schools." Music in the "Rural" schools was taught primarily by the classroom teacher while certified music specialists taught music in the "Town" schools. The NAEP music assessment was designed to gather data concerning demographics, home environment, in-school and outside of school activities, as well as cognitive and affective responses to selected music exercises. The Montana assessment booklet was developed by the author utilizing released exercises from the 1978-79 NAEP Music Assessment and was administered during the Fall of 1986.

  • Herald NAMSCA 3, 2018 Ali Mazarei, Asgar Salahi ATTAR RESEARCH in EUROPE
    Herald NAMSCA 3, 2018 Ali Mazarei, Asgar Salahi ATTAR RESEARCH IN EUROPE Ali Mazarei PhD student of Persian literature, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili [email protected] Asgar Salahi Assistant Professor, Department of Literature, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili [email protected] Abstract. Helmutriert, Margaret Smith, Aghazgar Tehrani and others. By translating the works of Attar, Neyshaburi has attracted the attention of some other nations to the works of Attar. If these translations are introduced more and more, young researchers and seekers will be useful, as well as those who are interested in studying the mystical works, will benefit from the familiarization and study of these translations. By seeing and studying these translations, other scholars may also be able to translate Attar's works into other languages that have not been translated. And this will make the human community more familiar with the works of this mystic and expensive poet. And as a result, the costly development of Islamic culture and literature for the international community will be more and more evident. n the area of bibliography of Attar, works have been carried out so far, and books such as "Attar's Bibliography" by Ali Mir Ansari and "The Influence and Propagation of Tadzkera Al-Alawi Attar in Pakistan," and so on.
