Brill, coll. « Handbook of Oriental Studies. Section 1 The Near and Middle East », CXIII, xix, 479 p. ISBN : 9789004321465. Ce livre est l’édition annotée d’un glossaire éthiopien de 475 lexèmes arabes – parmi eux des diaLectismes yéménites post-classiques – tiré du Manuscrit de Malik al-Afḍal, qui fut probablement rédigé par le Sultan rassoulide al-Malik al-Afḍal al-ʿAbbās (r. 764/1363-778/1377). Un facsimilé du manuscrit avait été publié en 1998 par Daniel Martin Varisco et Gerald Rex Smith (Daniel Martin Varisco & Gerald Rex Smith (éd.), The Manuscript of al- Malik al-Afḍal, Warminster, E. J. W. Gibb Memorial Trust, 1998). Alors que le dictionnaire de six Langues de ce texte fut édité et traduit par Peter Benjamin Golden et al. (Peter Benjamin Golden et al. (éd.), The King’s Dictionary: The Rasūlid Hexaglot: Fourteenth Century Vocabularies in Arabic, Persian, Turkic, Greek, Armenian and Mongol, Leyde, E. J. BriLl, 2000), le glossaire éthiopien n’avait, lui, pas fait l’objet d’une étude détaillée jusque-là. Il a fallu attendre 2009-2010 pour que Franz-Christoph Muth le traduise en allemand (Franz-Christoph Muth, « Frühe Zeugnisse des Amharischen und der Gurage-Sprachen in einer polyglotten Wortliste von Al-Malik Al-Afḍal (gest. 778/1377) », Folia Orientalia 45/46, 2009-2010, p. 87-109). Le nouveau Livre de Maria Bulakh et Leonid Kogan s’appuie sur deux études précédentes, publiées en 2013 et 2015, dans lesquelles les deux auteurs ont traduit le glossaire en anglais et en ont conduit l’étude. http://www.brill.com/products/reference-work/arabic-ethiopian-glossary-al-malik-al- afdal 2016.

[En japonais] Hikoichi Yajima signe ici une traduction japonaise du Pèlerinage à la Mecque d’Ibn Ǧubayr (m. 614/1217). L’auteur a étudié le livre d’Ibn Ǧubayr à la base de nombreux textes arabes et de nombreux sources yéménites, dont le Taʾrīḫ ṯaġr ʿAdan de Bā Maḫrama (m. 947/1540) et le Kitāb al-simṭ al-ġālī al-ṯaman d’Ibn Ḥātim (m. après 702/1302) font partie. L’œuvre d’Ibn Ǧubayr avait d’ores et déjà fait l’objet d’une traduction en japonais par Katsuji Fujimoto et Osamu Ikeda, en 1992 (Ibn Gubayr, Voyages, trad. Katsuji Fujimoto & Osamu Ikeda, Osaka, Presses de l’Unversité de Kansai, ISBN : 9784873541402). La contribution de Yajima consiste à traduire le texte sur une base manuscrite et textuelle plus importante, en s’appuyant sur une série d’études postérieures à 1992. Entre 1996 et 2002, Yajima a publié les Voyages d’Ibn Baṭṭūṭa (m. 779/1377), et dans ce cas aussi, il s’agissait d’un travail en second, la première traduction de la relation de voyage d’Ibn Baṭṭūṭa en japonais datant de 1954 (voir Ibn Battuta, Travels in Three Continents, trad.

    Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Strategy CityDevelopment A Sana’a: Foreword Since 2000, with the issuance of the Local Authorities Law No. 4, Yemen has been pursuing an ambitious decentralization agenda. This agenda aims to delegate greater fiscal and administrative authority to local governments and to give communities—public leaders, residents, and investors— more control over the economic and social development of their cities and towns. To date, city development strategies (CDS) have been initiated in four of Yemen’s largest urban areas—Sana’a, Aden, Hodeidah, and Mukalla. With support from the Cities Alliance and The World Bank, the CDS process in each of these cities has brought together public and private sector lead- ership to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the city, think strategically about opportunities for equitable economic growth, develop a long-term vision, and draft a prioritized action plan. In all four cases, the CDS process has been coupled with revisions to the cities’ master plans to ensure a strong link between economic development plans and infrastructure. The benefits of the CDS process go far beyond the writing of the CDS document. To create a long- term vision for the city required the participation of a variety of public, private, and civil society leaders who do not often have the occasion to come together to discuss the challenges and oppor- tunities facing the city. The structure for cross-sectoral communication provided under the umbrella of the CDS has had a lasting effect in terms of helping to align the city’s social, economic, and envi- ronmental interests.

The largest part of the temple is occupied by an unguarded yard that is enclosed by a massive stone wall with an irregular oval ground plan. Al Hajjarah is a village located in the Manakhah District of the Sana'a Governorate, in the Haraz Mountains. Al Hajjarah is built upon a precipice and is famous for its towering houses which are built onto the cliff faces.

    chapter 4 Imperial Scriptoria? The discovery of the fragments in the ceiling of the Great mosque of Sanaa in 1972 led, as we have seen, to a momentous change in the historiography of the early Qurʾanic manuscripts as well as in our knowledge of Umayyad art.1 Two illuminated pages facing each other at the beginning of a copy of impressive size caused a sensation and a discussion among specialists as to the age of this specific manuscript. In the aftermath of the short presentation by Marilyn Jenkins on the newly discovered fragments in the catalogue Maṣāḥif Ṣanʿāʾ,2 Hans-Caspar Von Bothmer published an important paper where he analysed in detail the ornaments of the twenty-five folios which were found and provided a codicological description based on a direct observation of the material.3 He suggested an attribution to the last years of the reign of al-Walīd I, who reigned from 86/705 to 96/715. However, historians of Islamic art expressed some doubts about the date of the copy and the idea that we actually had Umayyad manuscripts was scorned by some of them. Estelle Whelan published a paper which she intended as a first step in a demonstration of the supposedly mistaken attribution of the copy to the Umayyad period.4 She had rightly noted a close palaeographic relationship between Inv. 20–33.1 and Dublin, CBL Is 1404 (fig. 35) but reached the conclusion that the latter was from a later period. Although she avoided suggesting a date for the manuscript, she remarked that “no external evidence so far known … permits a definitive attribution of any Qurʾanic manuscript or group to a period earlier than the third/ninth century.”5 Her views reflected a rather widely shared idea that no early copy of the Qurʾan had survived.

  • The History and Monuments of the Tahirid Dynasty of the Yemen 858-923/1454-1517
    ABSTRACT Venetia Ann Porter Presented for the degree of Ph.D. University of Durham, 1992 The History and Monuments of the Tahirid dynasty of the Yemen 858-923/1454-1517 This thesis examines the rise to power and the rule of the short-lived Tahirid dynasty of the Yemen. The dynasty ruled over most of Lower Yemen at a critical juncture between the fall of the better known Rasulid dynasty in 858/1454, and the Mamluk conquest of the Yemen in 923/1517. The first part of the thesis, chapters 1-5 looks in detail at the political history, while the second part, chapters 6-8, examines other aspects of the period: the coinage and the architectural legacy. The thesis argues that the Tahirids were able to take over Lower Yemen by making themselves indispensable to the previous dynasty. Once in power, successive Tahirid sultans were faced with three major kinds of problem: challenges to their authority within the family, rebellious tribes on whom they depended for tax revenues and the ever present threat from the Zaydf imamate to the north of the country. However, the end of the dynasty was brought about as an indirect consequence of the Portuguese incursions into the Indian Ocean. This led to the Mamluk interest in and subsequent invasion of the Yemen. In the face of this challenge, the precariousness of Tahirid power and authority became apparent. Defeated by the Mamluks and with no resource to fall back upon, the dynasty came to an abrupt and violent end. The principal legacy of this short-lived, indigenous Sunni Yemeni dynasty lies in its architectural mon uments.
