OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS, Amen House, Warwick Squabe, E.C.i ; and KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, TRUBNER & CO., Ltd., 38, Great Russell Street, W.C.I. [All rights reserved.] PEEFACE Mr. a. G. Ellis's " Catalogue of Arabic; Books in the British Museum," compieted in 1901, has earned the gratitude of more than a generation of scholars, although many have failed to make the fullest use of its accurate and copious information owing to its lack of indexes. It contains a detailed description of most of the huge (•olh'i'ti(jii of Arabic works acquired l)y the Trustees of the Museum from the earliest days up till the end of the nineteenth century, comprising not only books printed or lithographed in the Arabic language, but translations of Arabic books into European and other languages, bibliographies and other writings on Arabic literature. In the search for any book, and especially one written in an Oriental language, for here peculiar difficulties arise, all the necessary bibliographical clues should be available to the student, who, if unaljle through inadequate information to use one line of approach, may thus without delay attain his object along another. The three indispensable clues being (a) Author's name, (b) Book-title, (c) Subject-matter, the Department of Oriental Printed Books and Manuscripts has always followed the practice of appending to author catalogues a full index of titles and a subject index. In the present instance a variety of causes, which it is needless to enumerate here, has long delayed the publication of these indexes. They are now offered to the student in the hope that the monumental work which they serve may thus acquire a fuller measure of usefulness than it has hitherto enjoyed. For the General Index, Mr. Ellis had alreadv written entries for those titles which are purely Arabic in form. These have been altered to suit the scheme here adopted and have been incorporated by the present compiler. All the entries, irrespective of language, are embraced in a single alphabet. The definite article «/-, or 7-, and the Izafat i are ignored as index letters. Many of the works indexed have double titles, e.g. Histoire des Beni Zeiyan, rois de Tlem^en [Nazm al-durr wa'l-'ikyan]. MuH. b. 'Abd al-JALiL, al-Tanasl. PREFACE These appear twice (once under each title) in the General Index, but only once in the Subject Index. In every case the alternative title is given within brackets. The system of classification used in the Subject Index follows that of the " Supplementary Catalogue of Ai-abic Printed Books (1926),'" but is slightly more detailed. The words Mu/iiimrnad and i/>n, which occur frequently on every page, are abridged in the usual way to JIu/l. and h. A. S. FULTON. — — INDEXES. The references in these Indexes arc to the navies of authors or other headings under which the works are catalogued.

  • The Mughrabi Quarter Digital Archive and the Virtual Illés Relief Initiative
    Are you saying there’s an original sin? The Mughrabi True, there is. Deal with it. Quarter Digital – Meron Benvenisti (2013) Archive and the Few spaces are more emblematic of Jerusalem today than the Western Virtual Illés Relief Wall Plaza, yet few people – including Initiative Palestinian and Israeli residents of Jerusalem alike – are aware of the Maryvelma Smith O’Neil destruction of the old Mughrabi Quarter that literally laid the groundwork for its very creation. For the longue durée of almost eight centuries, the Mughrabi Quarter of Jerusalem had been home to Arabs from North Africa, Andalusia, and Palestine. However, within two days after the 1967 War (10–12 June 1967), the historic neighborhood, located in the city’s southeast corner near the western wall of the Noble Sanctuary (al-Haram al-Sharif), was completely wiped off the physical map by the State of Israel – in flagrant violation of Article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which stipulates: Any destruction by the Occupying Power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or to other public authorities, or to social or cooperative organizations, is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations.1 Two decades prior to the Mughrabi Quarter demolition, Jerusalem’s designation as a “corpus separatum” had been intended to depoliticize the city through internationalization, under [ 52 ] Mughrabi Quarter & Illés Relief Initiative | Maryvelma Smith O’Neil Figure 1.

  • Jenısalem As Archetype of the Hannonious Islamic Urban Environment
    Journal offslamic Jenısalem Studics (Wintcr 1997). ı : ı. 21-JH Jenısalem as Archetype of the Hannonious Islamic Urban Environment S. Abdallah Schleifer Professor, American l lniversity in Cairo When we speak of Islaınic .lenısalem. of al-Qud'" The Holy, as it is most commonly known today in Arabic, we allude to a spiritual as weU as a physical geography that has been visibly recognisable as such for more than 1,000 years. We speak now of the Old City or the Walled City which Creswell (who devoted a lifetime to the study ofMuslim architecturc) described as the mest perfectly prcserved example ofa mcdicvaJ lslamic city. We arc not dealing with the largely Arab-owned but sem.i-colonial-in-spirıt New City which spread along the Western rim of the city in the late nıneteenth century, expanded dramatically during the covert condominium of shared authority of British Mandate and Jcwısh Agency. and fell to the Israelis in the 1948 War But Islamic Jerusalem in the old Arab chronicles and geographical dictionaries also incorporatcs all of those sites of profound sacred import to the lslamic tradition which range from just beyond the shadows of the city's walls - such as the tomb of Nabi Daoud (the Prophet-King David) or the Mount of Olives where Nabi Isa (Jesus) ascended directly to Heaven - or that rest in distant sight of the Holy City's dominating skyline such as the tomb of Nabi Samu'il (the Prophet Samuel). 1 Jerusalem is the holiest of the holy in what God describes, in the Qur'an, as the Holy Land.

Moreover the rapidly expanding interest in Sufism increases still further the need for a reliable introductory book-introductory in the sense that it requires no special knowledge, and reliable in that it is not written any more simply than truth will allow. But though such a book may presuppose no special know­ ledge, it necessarily presupposes a deep and searching interest in spiritual things. More particularly, it presupposes at least an inkling of the possibility of direct inward perception­ an inkling that may become a seed of aspiration.

During the years 1150 and 1250, especially with the crisis in Islam caused by the invasion of the Mongols and the fall of the Abbasid Empire, communities of mystics that were heretofore loosely organized groups of disciples following individual spiritual masters were transformed into corporate and increasingly hierarchical entities. The Qādirīya, Rifāʻīya and Suhrawardīya that were born as a result of this later developed into international orders, that would influence the whole Muslim world.1) At around the same period Maghreb society was also facing a crisis of Islam. This was caused by several key factors such as the recapturing of Muslim Spain by the Castilian and Aragonese armies, the progress of Reconquista in the Cordova, Seville, and Valencia regions, and the invasion of the city of Salé in Morocco by the Castilians.2) According to the travel journals of Muḥammad al-ʻAbdarī al-Tilimsānī who set out on a pilgrimage to Mecca in the year 688/1289, pilgrims and caravans had to pay protection money to Arab nomads who were running amok in the outskirts of Tlemcen, in order to be assured a safe passage.

For the sake of brevity I refer to my prefaces in those volumes. A few essentials my be repeated here. Not all manuscripts mentioned in the present volume were viewed by autopsy, but many were. The sheer number of manuscripts makes this impossible. At a later stage this may be achieved, but trying to achieve this at the present stage of inventorizing would seriously hamper the progress of the present project.
