  • Introduction by J.J. Witkam
    Brockelmann’s Geschichte Revisited Once More By Jan Just Witkam Brockelmann’s GAL In 1898 and 1902, the publishing house of E. Felber produced two volumes enti- tled Geschichte der Arabischen Litteratur (GAL). The author Carl Brockelmann (1868–1956) was a young German university teacher from Breslau (now Wroczlaw in Poland). His objective was to outline the external history of Arabic literature, excluding all internal developments. He had estimated then that it would take at least a further century of hard philological work before even the most important landmarks of Arabic literature would be known and accessible (I, p. iii). It is a sobering thought that a century has indeed passed without Brockelmann’s expectations being realized. Brockelmann restricted his Geschichte to the surviving works of authors. Had he added the titles of those works that are only known from references and quotations, the size of his GAL would easily have doubled. The basic idea of GAL was to provide a framework which divided Arabic lit- erature into periods and subjects and then to add to this structure using infor- mation extracted from manuscript catalogues and bibliographies concerning extant texts, and subsequently to add supplementary information on the authors from the biographical dictionaries. The first volume of GAL treated the classical period up to 1258 (the fall of Baghdad to the Mongol armies), while the second volume contained an account of Arabic literature produced in what Brockelmann styled as the age of decline. This age Brockelmann divided into three periods, firstly up to the Ottoman conquest of Egypt (1517), then up to the Napoleonic conquest (1798) and, finally, up to the present day (then 1902).

  • Notes on the Development of Turkish and Oriental Studies in the German Speaking Lands1
    Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2010, 7-76 Notes on the Development of Turkish and Oriental Studies in the German Speaking Lands1 Christoph HERZOG* HISTORICALLY, the academic fields of Turkology and Turkish studies2 have emerged as a part of a discipline that will be termed here “Oriental studies.”3 For the past decade, an upsurge of interest in the history of Oriental studies in Germany has been experi- enced.4 Because of the overarching character of Oriental studies, the tendency has been to treat them together. In fact, it would be hardly imaginable to delineate the field of Turkish studies without taking into account the general background of Oriental studies.5 The Birth of Turkish Studies out of Orientalist Philology In the first decades of the 19th century an evident, if undramatic, upswing of interest in Oriental themes occurred in German cultural production. In translations, travelogues, poetry, novels, but also in the opera, the imagination of the Oriental was reproduced for * Prof., Turkish Studies at the University of Bamberg, Germany. 1 Special thanks to Wayne Brittenden, Werner Ende, Barbara Henning and Klaus Kreiser for help with this article. Of course, any remaining errors are still mine. 2 Both expressions can be used synonymously, but there is a tendency to confine the term “Turkish studies” to the study of Turkey and its history, including the Ottoman Empire. The expression “Turkic studies” refers to the purely linguistic field of study of the Turkic languages. In German no equivalent of this term exists. 3 The German term “Orientalische Studien” was used already in the 1830s, while the word “Orientalistik” seems to have been coined only at the end of the 19th century; cf.

  • Scholarly Correspondence: a Window Into the DNA of Scholarship1
    Scholarly Correspondence: A Window into the DNA of Scholarship1 Sabine Schmidtke As consumers of scholarship, we are as a rule limited to what has come down to us in published form. If we want to understand the DNA of the final product—what it was that prompted a scholar to approach a certain topic or problem, how he or she selected and analyzed the material at hand, and what guided him or her throughout the process—we need to get our hands on some of the material that reflects the genesis of the published work, and this in light of the wider social, political, and intellectual context a scholar is working in, as well as the material and economic constraints. Occasionally, some of these questions are addressed in the publications themselves, in the preface, the acknowledgements, the annotations etc., but whatever is said there has passed through a careful process of filtering, polishing, selecting, and possibly self-censorship. The more authentic raw material is typically found among what has never been intended for publication. It may include any kind of working material and notes, such as reader’s margin notes in books, excerpts and study notebooks, reader registers, inventories of personal libraries, drafts, as well as diaries. With the history of knowledge and knowledge transmission increasingly coming to the forefront of scholarship, some of this material has come to the attention of scholars in recent years and has been studied in a systematic manner, as in the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded project "The Archaeology of Reading in Early Modern Europe" exploring historical reading practices through the lens of manuscript annotations preserved in early printed books, my own current book project, an archaelogical inquiry into texts and their transmission among Twelver Shīʿī thinkers over some six centuries, or the ERC funded "Project NOTA" studying medieval notebooks, written primarily in Latin.
