This opposition, obviously, had certain theoretical bases. Though the power and authority of 'ulama' vis-a-vis the existing government began to increase right from the Safavi period, an attempt to make a direct bid for power is certainly a recent phenomenon. Although there are quite a few general works available on the changing roles of the Iranian 'ulama', there is no serious study of the theoretical changes that took place in the thoughts of Shi'i 'ulama' during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah. This dissertation tries to fulfil this gap. The dissertation is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter deals with the origins of Shi'i theory of imamate. Most of the basic concepts of Ithna 'Ashari Shi'ism (the Twelvers) such as imaroat ghayabat, intezar and taqiyya were crystallised during the Buyid and Mongol periods. According to Ithna 'Ashari Shi'i belief only the Prophet and imams possess legitimate authority -2- to rule over the people. They enjoyed spiritual as well as temporal velayat' over the people.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 - 1 - ABSTRACT The thesis discusses the role of the mujtahids of Tehran in the Constitutional Revolution, considering their contribution both in ideas and organisation. The thesis is divided into eight chapters, the first of which deals with the relationship between the Lulama and the state, and the problem of accommodation with a ruler who was illegitimate according to Twelver Shi'ite law. The second chapter discusses the economic and social position of the Lulama, concentrating on their financial resources, their legal duties, and their relationships with other groups, and attempting to show the ways in which they were subject to pressure. In the third chapter, the role of the ^ulama, and particularly the mujtahids, in the coming of the Revolution is examined, especially their response to the centralisation of government, and the financial crisis at the turn of the century.

  • I Cristiani Religioni
    O P E R A O M N I A VOLUME I JULIEN RIES I CRISTIANI E LE RELIGIONI di fronte e attraverso Jaca Book EDITORIALE Ogni volta che abbiamo deciso Un’Opera Omnia in questi quarant’an- ni di storia della Jaca, è stata sempre una grande emozione. L’emozione piena per vero la si ha non nel decidere la riedizione di un classico antico o scomparso da alcuni decenni, ma nel caso in cui si propone a un autore di organizzare lui stesso la sua Opera Omnia. Così fu con de Lubac e Balthasar, che risposero alla proposta prepa- rando lo schema di ciò che volevano mantenere e conservare della loro opera. A dire il vero de Lubac prima aprì un armadio e disse: «È qui», poi disse che si sarebbe messo a lavorare. Con Julien Ries l’idea è nata in modo del tutto naturale dopo anni di lavoro e collaborazione, sino a sbocciare quasi come un evento inevitabile. L’antropologia del sacro, la storia delle religioni, il dialogo interreligioso e la teologia delle religioni sono una delle ragioni d’essere del lavoro edito- riale di Jaca Book, che Ries ha accompagnato per anni. Ma Ries non è stato solo autore negli ambiti sopra citati; è stato anche un grande editore e organizzatore di seminari e colloqui con rispettive pub- blicazioni. Le edizioni di «Homo Religiosus», create da Ries a Louvain-la- Neuve e proseguite fino ad oggi con pubblicazioni presso Jaca Book e Brepols, restano un pilastro per gli studi di storia delle religioni e di antro- pologia del sacro.

  • A Boundless Text for a Boundless Author the Representation of the Chinese World in Sadīd Al-Dīn Muḥammad ʿawfī’S Jawāmiʿ Al-Ḥikāyāt Wa Lawāmi Al-Riwāyāt
    In limine Esplorazioni attorno all’idea di confine a cura di Francesco Calzolaio, Erika Petrocchi, Marco Valisano, Alessia Zubani A Boundless Text for a Boundless Author The Representation of the Chinese World in Sadīd al-Dīn Muḥammad ʿAwfī’s Jawāmiʿ al-Ḥikāyāt wa Lawāmi al-Riwāyāt Francesco Calzolaio (Université de Limoges, EHIC, France; Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract The inclusivity of New Persian literary canon, in which images of non-Muslim, non-Persian spaces and peoples play a central role, is well-known. Less explored, however, are the hows and whys of such inclusivity, which stem from a process of observation and translation into literary language of historic realia pertaining to the wide Eurasian horizon. An analysis of the textual space occupied by the Chinese world in ʿAwfī’s Jawāmiʿ al-Ḥikāyāt, a monumental thirteenth century literary ency- clopaedia, may help us shed some light on the matter, providing an example of translation of several cultural items pertaining to the Chinese world into Persian literary language.

  • Manichaean Gnosis and Creation Myth
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 156 July, 2005 Manichaean Gnosis and Creation Myth by Abolqasen Esmailpour Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc.

Prof. Dr. Mahmut Mutman August, 2006 The aim of this study is to explore the formation of Alevi syncretism by examining historical facts and religious interactions. By understanding how Alevis adapted various cultural, religious and social phenomena, and how they have reflected these phenomena on their practices and social representation, almost ten-century-old heterodox Alevi syncretism’s nature will be comprehended. Since the Cem Ceremony signifies the reflection and representation of all influential features’ unification, it has a significant role in Alevi understanding.

Leila Rowshandel,* Atefeh Bahmanzadegan, Faraneh Zareiyan, Vahid Rowshan Department of Natural Resources, Fars Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Education Center, Shiraz, Iran. E-mail: [email protected] The present work was identified the chemical compounds of essential oil (EO), evaluated the antioxidative activities, phenolic and total phenolic contents (TPCs) from aerial parts of Ferula assa-foetida and its oleo-gum-resin. The EO components were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Polyphenolic compounds of metanolic extract of its plant and its oleo-gum-resin were examined by using HPLC analysis. The TPC was assessed by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Furthermore, radical scavenging activity of sample was assessed using Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Essential oil's analyses showed that 10-epi-ɣ-eudesmol( 18.3%), α-eudesmol (10.9%), agarospirol (7.1%), β-eudesmol (6.6%) and guaiol (5.8%) were the main components from F. assa-foetida aerial parts and α-pinene (22.6%), (Z)-1-propenyl sec-butyl disulfide (20.4%), β-pinene (12.1%), (E)-1- propenyl sec-butyl disulfide (6.6%) and bicyclogermacrene (4.1%) were the main components from its oleo-gum-resin. Chloregenic acid (2.6 mg/g), ellagic acid (1.3 mg/g), quercetin (0.18 mg/g) and vanillin (0.05 mg/g) were the main polyphenols detected in extract of plant.
