Pre-Modern Iberian Fragments in the Present: Studies in Philology, Time, Representation and Value By Heather Marie Bamford A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco, Co-Chair Professor José Rabasa, Co-Chair Professor Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht Professor Ignacio Navarrete Professor David Hult Fall 2010 1 Abstract Pre-Modern Iberian Fragments in the Present: Studies in Philology, Time, Representation, and Value by Heather Marie Bamford Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Literatures and Languages University of California, Berkeley Professors Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco and José Rabasa, Co-Chairs This dissertation examines the uses of medieval and early-modern Iberian cultural objects in the present. It draws on the notion of fragment and actual fragmentary testimonies to study how pre- modern Iberian things and texts are reconstituted and used for various projects of personal, institutional, national and transnational reconstitution in the present. The corpus objects are necessarily diverse in chronological scope, with examples from the medieval, early-modern and modern periods, and touch upon works of many genres: chivalric romance, royal and personal correspondence, early-modern and modern historiography, Hispano-Arabic and Hispano-Hebrew lyric, inscriptions, pre-modern and modern biographies and 21st century book exhibitions. The dissertation proposes that Iberian fragments are engaged in various forms of reconstitution or production in the present and, at the same time, are held as timeless, unchanging entities that have the capability to allow users to connect with something genuinely old, truly Spanish and, indeed, eternal.

Making Light Work of Serious Praise: a Panegyric Zajal by Lisan Al-Din
Alexander Elinson 83 Making Light Work of Serious Praise: a Panegyric zajal by Lisān al-Dīn ibn al-Khaṭīb1 Alexander Elinson Hunter College Introduction Lisān al-Dīn ibn al-Khaṭīb (d. 1375) demonstrated a staggering knowledge of Arabic language, poetry, prose, philosophy, and religious sciences. His prodigious literary output has secured his place as one of the last great Arab writers of al- Andalus, serving as the inspiration for al-Maqqarī’s (d. 1628) voluminous history, Nafḥ al-ṭīb min ghuṣn al-Andalus al-raṭīb wa-dhikr wazīrihā Lisān al-Dīn ibn al- Khaṭīb (The Perfumed Breeze from the Tender Branch of al-Andalus, with mention of its vizier, Lisān al-Dīn ibn al-Khaṭīb). In addition to his large corpus of official diplomatic missives, travelogues, maqāmās (literary rhymed prose epistles), qaṣīdas (formal odes), and theological, philosophical, historical, biographical and literary treatises, he was also quite interested in the strophic form; he collected an anthology of muwashshaḥs (strophic poems) entitled Jaysh al-tawshiḥ (The Army of Stanzaic Poetry), even composing a number of muwashshaḥs himself,2 and as an admirer of the Sufi poet al-Shushtarī (d. 1269), he composed a number of zajals (colloquialized strophic poems) on his model (see Ibn al-Khaṭīb 1989, 238).3 In addition to the zajals that he composed with a religious intent, Ibn al-Khaṭīb composed one zajal for his patron Sultan Muḥammad V al-Ghanī bi-llāh (d. 1391), a panegyric celebrating his return to power in Granada after a three-year exile in North Africa. In this essay, I will examine this zajal in order to evaluate the ways in which he exploits language and form to produce a unique and effective panegyric.

It origi nated in the tenth century and has five strophes and a rhyme scheme [ZZ]/aaaZZ/bbbZZ/-eeeZZ, thus deviating from the normal Arabic ode, which has only one metre and no strophes. At the linguistic level, different poetic languages can coexist, especially the refrain part (ZZ) of the fifth and last strophe (eeeZZ) can be in a language other than Classical Arabic or Hebrew, such as Colloquial Andalusian Arabic or even a Romance language.

Otto Zwartjes the ANDALUSI KHARJAS
Otto Zwartjes THE ANDALUSI KHARJAS: A Courtly Counterpoint to Popular Tradition?l 1. Introduction The subject of this article is the interaction or interference of popular and courtly or 'learned elements' in Andalusi strophic poetry. Since many scholars have considered the kharjas to be manifestations of pop ular lyric, the first objective of this article is to determine to what de gree we can classify these texts as 'popular'. The second objective is to relate these texts to the 'courtly' context where they were performed. The multicultural and multilingual character of Andalusi society is re flected in Andalusi strophic poetry, as well as the rivalry between Berber and Arabic-Andalusi culture. Languages and alphabets of the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish populations were used in the final lines, the kharjas. We notice a great discrepancy in the aesthetic judgments of Andalusi Arabic strophic poetry and in its popularity in different periods. These non-classical genres are usually not included in the an thologies of prestigious literature. During the Berber dynasties this lit erary tradition reached the status of 'court literature' and we see that 'innovation' became a new 'tradition'. Later, we see even that this 'popular' poetry became the 'classical' Maghribi musical tradition. The higher esteem these poems earned in al-Andalus contributed to their wide diffusion in the Maghrib and other regions of the Islamic world. 2. Andalusi strophic poetry In al-Andalus two new forms of poetry, the strophic muwashshal:i and the zajal, developed within Arabic literature. The muwashshal) is SCRIPTA MEDITERRANEA, Vols XIX-XX 1998-1999, 45 1 This text is an elaborated version of my lecture at the 31st International Congress on Medieval Studies.

The Contribution of Arab Muslims to the Provencal Lyrical Poetry: the Troubadours in the Twelfth Century
Journal of Arts, Vol. 27, Number (1), pp1-20 ,king Sand Univ., Riyadh (2015 /1436H.) The Contribution of Arab Muslims to the Provencal Lyrical Poetry: the Troubadours in the Twelfth Century Yahya Saleh Hassan Dahami Assistant Professor of English, Department of Theoretical Courses, Faculty of Sports , Sana'a University, Currently: Department of English, Faculty of Science and Arts , Al Mandaq, Al Baha University )Received 7/6/1435H; Accepted for publication 27/7/1435H) Keywords: Arab Muslims, Contribution, Mawashahat, Zajal, Troubadours, Provencal, Poetry, Twelfth Century, Renaissance, literature Abstract:This study is a historical-analytical attempt to demonstrate the influence and contribution of Arab Islamic Mawashahat and Zajal on the Provencal lyrical poets – the Troubadours that sprang in south of France during the eleventh century. The study consists of three parts in which the first part represents the main part. It sheds light on the influence of Muwashashah and Zajal on the poetry of troubadours. The second part deals with the nature of troubadours and their relation with the poetry of Muwashashah and Zajal. It is supported with five troubadour poets. The last part goes back to the beginning of the European Renaissance in the twelfth century. The European Renaissance started in Italy decades after translations of Islamic heritage, literature and science from Arabic into Latin then from Latin to other European languages. The eighth through the eleventh centuries witnessed the glorious ages of Islamic civilization and sciences in which great portion of it was shifted to Italy during and after the crusades. Thence, different parts of Europe were enlivened with the movement of translation and multi travels and cultural exchange.
