The first chapter deals with the po litical, social and religious background of ‘ Abd al-M alik, and relates this to his later policy on becoming caliph. Chapter II is devoted to the ‘ Alid opposition of the period, i.e . the revolt of al-Mukhtar ibn Abi ‘ Ubaid al-Thaqafi, and its nature, causes and consequences. The ‘ Asabiyya(tribal feuds), a dominant phenomenon of the Umayyad period, is examined in the third chapter. An attempt is made to throw light on its causes, and on the policies adopted by ‘ Abd al-M alik to contain it.

These names include: - Ḥasdāy ibn Shaprūṭ - Abū al-Faḍl Ḥasdāy ibn Ḥasdāy - Ismāʿīl - Marīnids 3. Arabic words like wazīr are explained after their first usage and written in italics throughout.

THE POEMS The Arabic texts of these poems, with a Spanish translation and relevant bibliography, are to be found in García Gómez 1985. However, most of the emendations to the Arabic proposed by García Gómez have been ignored, in favour of the text of the inscriptions themselves. The free English translations (by Nadia Jamil and JJ) that follow have been made specially for this lecture; amongst several interweaving strands of meaning, they follow only those most important for the argument proposed.

    Los Moriscos Esp A:Roles a Tra Ves De Sus Manuscritos

    LOS MORISCOS ESPA:ROLES A TRAVES DE SUS MANUSCRITOS ALJAMIADOS María Teresa Narváez Córdova l. Introducción El presente estudio intenta presentar a una nueva luz la situa­ ción histórica, vital, cultural y aún afectiva de la trágica casta de los moriscos españoles en los años que sigüen al final de la Reconquis­ ta en 1492. La situación de estos moriscos ha sido generalmente explorada por historiadores que se basan en fuentes, crónicas y documentos que ofrecen el punto de vista cristiano: los Archivos de la Inquisición, los documentos de la Real Academia de la Histo­ ria y crónicas y documentos de reinos, catedrales y monasterios. Nuestro estudio, por su parte, tendrá como fuente principal la literatura aljamiada, es decir, una fuente morisca. Esto nos permi­ tira una visión un tanto diferente de la tradicional, ya que estare­ mos escuchando el punto de vista de los mismos moriscos que pro­ tagonizaron ese episodio tan completo, tan difícil, pero tan fe­ cundo, de la historia española de los siglos XV, XVI y XVII. MARIA TERESA NAR VAEZ nació en España, hija de padres puertorrique­ ños, en el año de 1955 y se trasladó a Puerto Rico en 1957. Para el año de 1977, se graduó con honores de la Universidad de Puerto Rico donde obtuvo el grado de Bachiller en Artes con concentración en Psicología. Actualmente cursa estudios en la concentración de Estudios Hispánicos de la Facultad de Humanidades. Tiene bajo publicación dos artículos: "San Juan de la Cruz y Algazel", que se publicará en el Boletín de la Academia de la Lengua de Puerto Rico, y otro, realizado en colaboración con la Dra.

    LA ALMUNIA DE LOS ALIJARES SEGÚN DOS AUTORES ÁRABES: IBN ASIM E IBN ZAMRAK ALICIA DE LA HIGUERA / ANTONIO MORALES DELGADO LA ALMUNIA DE LOS ALIJARES SEGÚN DOS AUTORES ÁRABES: IBN ASIM E IBN ZAMRAK The present article is based on the analysis of two Arab sources, Í'unnat al-ridá by Ibn 'Asim al-Garnati and Dtwan by the poet Ibn Zamrak. The information contained in the text of Ibn Asim about what was the almunia de los Alijares pleasure palace of the Alhambra is of great value for the knowledge it provides us about this royal site of which littel information is available from the Castillian sources. This description is, moreover, unique in its genr for not being usual in historians of the Arabic languaje of that period. The profusion of details that he author gives makes possible, for the first time, a virtual reconstruction of the mentioned architectonic complex, which will constitute the second part of this study. At the lame time, the edition of the DTwán of Ibn Zamrak which contains the epigraphic poems that in their day decorated the niches of the qubbas of the royal palace together with other descriptive poems which refer to this palace, complete the information available about the mentioned site, providing the authors of this article, furthermore, will ideal material to analyse from other points of view the complex mentaliry that made possible the pala- ce complex that today no longer exists. This first part of the article ends with an exhaustive revision ot the erymology of the term al-disár.

    IBN AL-R M 'S SINGING SLAVE-GIRL This Essay Will

    SENSIBILITY AND SYNAESTHESIA: IBN AL-R�M�'S SINGING SLAVE-GIRL This essay will explore the function of wasf (description) by dealing with the relation between verbal art and the musical art of gesture and singing in a medieval Arabic qasadah or ode from the ninth century A.D., which describes a singing slave-girl. Re-examining why and how the ode has entranced the listener or the reader, I shall make use of modern Western modes of interarts studies, while not neglecting conventional Arabic literary compo- nents and the medieval Arabic social, artistic milieu of singing-girls. As theoretical tools, I will use the concept of the "gestural" developed by Lawrence Kramer.' As to the social ambience, an essay on singing slave- girls by al-Jahiz (A.D. 776-869), one of the most prominent classical Arab litterateurs, will be our source. I will also rely on George Sawa's study of the theory and practice of musical performance in the classical Middle East.' For the purpose of re-discovering the quintessence of the qasidah, I hope that innovative and untried methods will provide us with wider and new perspectives on the poetic tradition. Wa?f (description) occupies a central role in the Arabic qasidah tradition and is commonly held to be characteristic of the genre.3 Description is one of the literary strategies used by the poet to reflect an aspect of "reality," either actual or fictional. The qasidah was evaluated negatively by tradi- An earlier version of this article was delivered at the 1999 Annual Meeting of the Middle East Studies Association of North America in Washington, D.C., U.S.A., Nov.
  • Ethics and Aesthetics in H Ad嚽th Literature and Classical Arabic Adab

    Ethics and Aesthetics in H Ad嚽th Literature and Classical Arabic Adab

    Bulletin of SOAS, 70, 3 32007), 459±486. E School of Oriental and African Studies. Printed in the United Kingdom. Man's ``Hollow Core'': ethics and aesthetics in HadõÅth literature and classical Arabic adab* Ç Stefan Sperl School of Oriental and African Studies [email protected] Abstract Classical Arabic HadõÅth literature is largely composed of micro- narratives recordingÇ the sayings and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad. This study seeks to examine their literary form by focusingÇ on selected examples listed in the canonical HadõÅth compendia under the heading of adab, a term which may be renderedÇ here as ``practical ethics'' but which is also commonly used to designate classical Arabic belles-lettres. While the latter is a type of literature quite distinct from the literature of HadõÅth the texts here studied point to a certain interface betweenÇ them. The ethical dimension of adab as it appears in HadõÅth is examined further in the light of Haydon White's theory onÇ the relation between narrativity and law. Contrasting the micro-narrative of HadõÅth with the ``macro- narrative'' of the epic provides further insightÇ into its approach to adab and serves to highlight its distinct literary and religious aesthetic. Works of classical Arabic prose often consist of brief statements and tales narrated by transmitters and covering a range of topics for the purpose of generating the composite image of a history, a personality or an idea. This style of writing, in which the author's acclaimed function is primarily that of editor and compiler, is
