Al-'Usur Al-Wusta, Volume 23 (2015)
AL-ʿUṢŪR AL-WUSṬĀ 23 (2015) THE JOURNAL OF MIDDLE EAST MEDIEVALISTS About Middle East Medievalists (MEM) is an international professional non-profit association of scholars interested in the study of the Islamic lands of the Middle East during the medieval period (defined roughly as 500-1500 C.E.). MEM officially came into existence on 15 November 1989 at its first annual meeting, held ni Toronto. It is a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Illinois. MEM has two primary goals: to increase the representation of medieval scholarship at scholarly meetings in North America and elsewhere by co-sponsoring panels; and to foster communication among individuals and organizations with an interest in the study of the medieval Middle East. As part of its effort to promote scholarship and facilitate communication among its members, MEM publishes al-ʿUṣūr al-Wusṭā (The Journal of Middle East Medievalists).

Seyahat Notları Ve Oryantalist Bilgi Üretimi: Eduard Sachau (1845-1930) Örneği∗
Diyalog 2020/1: 29-47 (Research Article) Seyahat Notları ve Oryantalist Bilgi Üretimi: Eduard Sachau (1845-1930) Örneği∗ Remzi Avcı , Mardin https://dx.doi.org/10.37583/diyalog.759411 Öz 19. yüzyılda misyoner, oryantalist, asker, yönetici ve araştırmacılar olmak üzere farklı meslek gruplarından birçok Avrupalı, Osmanlı topraklarını dolaşarak arkalarında seyahat kitapları bırakmışlardır. Klasik bilimsel çalışmaların aksine alternatif bir araştırma modeli olarak kabul edilebilecek olan seyahat yazını bir anlatı türü olarak sosyal bilimlerin farklı disiplinleri için oldukça sübjektif verilere dayansa da yoğun ve zengin bir bilimsel materyal sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda bir Alman oryantalist ve seyyah olan Eduard Sachau (1845-1930) Osmanlı toprakları içerisinde 1879’da başlayarak yaklaşık altı ay süren bir seyahat gerçekleştirmiş ve seyahat notlarını Reise in Syrien und Mesopotamien (Suriye ve Mezopotamya Seyahati) adıyla 1883 yılında Almanya’da kitap olarak yayımlamıştır. Aslında bir filolog olan Sachau, tıpkı bir sosyolog, antropolog ve arkeolog gibi dolaşarak Osmanlı taşrasında yaşayan Arap, Kürt, Türk, Nasturi, Yakubi ve Yezidiler hakkında önemli bilgiler sunmuştur. Bu çalışma, bir bilim insanı olarak Sachau’nun seyahatinin oryantalist bilgi üretim süreci olduğunu iddia etmekte ve onun süreçte bu topladığı bilgiyi farklı yollarla akademik metinlere transfer ettiğini öne sürmektedir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Sachau, Seyahat, oryantalizm, bilgi, Osmanlı, Doğu, Almanya Abstract Travel Notes and the Production of Orientalist Knowledge: The Case of Eduard Sachau (1845-1930) In the 19th century, many Europeans from different professions, including missionaries, orientalists, soldiers, administrators and researchers, travelled around Ottoman territories and left books behind. Contrary to classical scientific studies, travel writing can be considered as an alternative research model. Although travelogues are based on highly subjective data for the social science as a narrative genre, it provides intense and rich scientific materials. -
Geographical 'Aǧā'ib in a Neo-Aramaic Manuscript Of
GEOGRAPHICAL ‘AǦĀ’IB IN A NEO-ARAMAIC MANUSCRIPT OF THE LONDON SACHAU COLLECTION The manuscript Or. 9321 of the British Library, Asia Pacific & Africa Collections (formerly Oriental and India Office Collections) contains a prose text (f. 231b-244a) that derives directly or indirectly from Arabic sources and belongs to a genre very popular in the literatures of the Islam- icate world. It is a collection of short descriptions of wonders (Arabic ‘aǧā’ib) to be found in various regions of the world, including Alexandria, Egypt, al-Andalus, Syria, the Caspian Sea, and a few other places that are difficult to identify. The text is divided into two parts, each consisting of twelve descriptions: the first is about wondrous cities and buildings and the second contains wonders about rivers, wells, and seas. Titles or formulae such as ‘A Wonder’, ‘Another’ or ‘There was in...’, ‘There is in...’ introduce the 24 short notices. Structure and contents of the text and the fact that it is preserved in two languages, Neo-Aramaic on the right-hand pages and Arabic on the left-hand pages, raise a number of questions that must be kept distinct and to which we shall try to give provisional answers, at least as working hypotheses. One is the question whether a text preexisted the copy pre- served in this manuscript or it was compiled in this form by the copyist himself, out of his memory or using written sources. Another is what was the language of the Vorlage, its written or oral source(s). Was it Arabic (less probably Persian or Kurdish), Neo-Aramaic or Classical Syriac? Yet a third question is whether the Neo-Aramaic text is the original from which the facing Arabic text was translated or vice versa. -

Etruscan News
{01} Etruscan News. Bollettino della Sezione Newsletter Of The American Americana del' Istituto Section Of The Institute For di Studi Etruschi ed Italici. Etruscan And Italic Studies. Volume 2. Spring, 2003. Foreign News. Report from the Istituto di Studi Etruschi ed Italici, Florence. By Giovannangelo Camporeale, President, Consiglio Direttivo. The Consiglio Direttivo of the Istituto, the core of the Italian Section, based in Florence, has been involved in the organisation of several conferences. It collaborated with the French Section (see report below) on the first conference of the Studi Etruschi ed Italici to be held outside of Italy. This took place at Marseille and Lattes from September 27 to October 1, 2002, and explored the theme, The Etruscans From Genoa To Ampurias, From The VII To IV Centuries B.C. The Section is also collaborating with the Istituto per l' Archeologia Etrusco-Italica of the CNR in Rome to organise a meeting in memory of Mauro Cristofani on the subject, Mobility In Ancient Italy. This meeting was planned when Adriano Maggiani was Director of the IAEI and now awaits ratification by the new director, Francesco Roncalli, but it is projected to take place at the end of 2003. Work is progressing on various longterm projects. The collection of material continues for the CORPVS SPECVLORVM ETRVSCORVM (CSE), specifically for the volumes on the museums of Florence, Palestrina, and Naples. The publication of the survey of painted Etruscan tombs is ongoing. Almost all the archaic tombs of Tarquinia have been surveyed and drawn, and work on the 5th century B.C. tombs is underway. -

Fromwellhausen to Becker.The Emergence of Kulturgeschichte In
1 From Wellhausen to Becker. The Emergence of 27 Kulturgeschichte in Islamic Studies In 1927, the faculty of law at the University of Kiel in Northern Germany decided to nominate Hermann Kantorowicz, a well-known specialist in medieval law,1 as the recommended candidate for a vacant chair. Kiel belonged at that time to Prussia; thus it was the Prussian minister of cultural affairs who had to give his confirmation and to appoint the new professor. But the Foreign Office inter- vened; the foreign minister himself, Gustav Stresemann, pointed to the fact that Kantorowicz, in an expert opinion written for a parliamentary fact-finding committee, had not supported the official German standpoint in the question of war guilt. The controversy seems strange to us; ideological shibboleths look ridiculous once they have had their day. But it may have taken some courage on the part of the minister of cultural affairs to remind Stresemann of the dif- ference between a political creed and scholarly inquiry.2 In fact, Kantorowicz got his chair – although with some delay and for only a few years; he emigrated in 1933, first to the United States and then to England where he taught from 1935 until his death in 1940. The man who had supported him died in 1933, two weeks after Hitler’s seizure of power which was to give the question of war guilt an unprecedented dimension; his letter to Stresemann was burnt with the archives during the bombardments of Berlin, in 1945. He was an Orientalist, one of the few figures of international renown in this discipline: Carl Heinrich Becker. -
Jüdischer Islam
JüdischerSusannah Heschel Islam: Islam und jüdisch-deutsche Selbstbestimmung Aus dem Englischen von Dirk Hartwig, Moritz Buchner und Georges Khalil Mit einem Nachwort von Georges Khalil 1 »Es war der Islam, der das jüdische Volk rettete!« So verkündete es der große jüdische Wissenschaftler des Islam und der mittelalterlichen jüdischen Geschichte Shlomo Dov Goitein (1900–1985) in einem Vortrag einer britisch-jüdischen Hörerschaft im Jahre 1958. Was war darunter zu verstehen, und wie war es zu dieser Errettung gekommen? Weil der Islam, so setzte Goitein hinzu, die ökonomischen und intellektuellen Voraussetzungen hervorbrachte, die eine »schöpferische Symbiose« geradezu ermutigten, die zwischen2 den jüdischen und islamischen Kulturen im Mittelalter entstand. Die Religion des Islam, so betonte Goitein, war eine Religion der »persönlichen Verantwortung des3 Menschen gegenüber Gott«, eine »Religion des ethischen Monotheismus«. Diese Symbiose war keineswegs Vergangenheit: Goitein benutzte die gleiche Sprache zur Beschreibung des Islam, die liberale Juden seinerzeit einsetzten, um das Judentum zu beschreiben.

University Microfilms International 300 N
INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. -
Presentation of Italia Ante Romanum Imperium an Etruscan Herbal?
VOLUME: 5WINTER, 2006 An Etruscan Herbal? Presentation of Italia ante by Kyle P. Johnson New York University Romanum imperium Among the approximately 200 Etruscan words which have come down to us are over fifty glosses, synonyms of Greek and Latin words from ancient authors found in the margins of medieval man- uscripts and preserved in the manuscript tradition. 1 Among these glosses, thirteen plant names are of particular inter- est. They are preserved in two codices (R and V) of Dioscorides of Anazarbus’ de Materia Medica, a first-century compendium of pharmacologi- cal uses of plants, minerals, and animal products.2 These glosses have a fascinating history and are of value not only to philolo- gists of the Etruscan lan- The Bay of Pyrgi seen from the Castle of Santa Severa, with a storm at sea.
