JÄmÄ« in Regional Contexts
The Reception of Ê¿Abd al-RaḥmÄn JÄmÄ«âs Works in the Islamicate World, ca. 9th/15th-14th/20th Century
Series:
JÄmÄ« in Regional Contexts: The Reception of Ê¿Abd Al-RaḥmÄn JÄmÄ«âs Works in the Islamicate World is the first attempt to present in a comprehensive manner how Ê¿Abd al-RaḥmÄn JÄmÄ« (d. 898/1492), a most influential figure in the Persian-speaking world, reshaped the canons of Islamic mysticism, literature and poetry and how, in turn, this new canon prompted the formation of regional traditions. As a result, a renewed geography of intellectual practices emerges as well as questions surrounding authorship and authority in the making of vernacular cultures. Specialists of Persian, Arabic, Chinese, Georgian, Malay, Pashto, Sanskrit, Urdu, Turkish, and Bengali thus provide a unique connected account of the conception and reception of JÄmÄ«âs works throughout the Eurasian continent and maritime Southeast Asia.
Thibaut d'Hubert, Ph.D. (2010), is Associate Professor in the department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago.

Maisonneuve, 2005); Mystiques et vagabonds en islam (Cerf, 2010), and Thus Spake the Dervish(Brill, 2019).

"Man muss die Herausgeber bewundern ob ihrer editorischen [â¦] Das vorliegende Buch zeigt, dass eine solche Kreativität weiter bestanden hat. Das war auch und vor allem an deren Rändern weiter der Fall. Dass darauf hingewiesen wird, ist einer der Vorzüge dieses Buches. Der andere ist, dass hier einem Universalgelehrten islamischer Kultur ein Denkmal gesetzt worden ist, das anderen Forschern Anlass zu weiteren Bemühungen um die Werke dieses bedeutenden Mannes geben wird.â Peter Heine in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 115/4â5 (2020)
