Arabic and Islamic Studies in Europe and Beyond
This volume presents the proceedings of the 26th Conference of the Union Européenne des Arabisants et Islamisants that took place in Basel, Switzerland, in September 2012. The theme of the volume, "Arabic and Islamic Studies in Europe and Beyond", indicates that research in Arabic and Islamic Studies is not only carried out in Europe but also in many non-European regions of the world. Furthermore, it expresses that Muslim history no longer represents an exclusive field of research remote from public attention. Nevertheless, the focus of Arabic and Islamic Studies is still highly specialized, calling on researchers to devote their academic lives to learning and practicing the major (and minor) languages of Islamic history and culture. In this regard, Arabic and Islamic Studies need to find an equilibrium, again and again, between disciplinary immersion and intellectual openness. The present collection contributes to these endeavors and struggles while reflecting the highly variegated nature of research in Islamic and Arabic Studies.
The Hand of Fatima
The Hand of Fatima traces the khamsa, or hand motif, across the Arab-Islamic world and beyond. It explores multifarious khamsas, from amulets to fine art, with a special focus on the hand symbol in Algeria, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and Shiʿism.
Actes Du Neuvième Congrès International Des Égyptologues
This massive 2 volume set contains 200 papers from the Congress, held in Grenoble, 6-12 Sept 2004. These papers cover the whole field of the present egyptological researches, from the Origins to the Graeco-roman period.
Miscellanea Arabica Et Islamica
The volume contains twenty contributions to the fields of Arabic Linguistics, Islamic Law, and Arabic and Islamic thought. These are edited and often revised and enlarged versions of papers which were originally presented at the 15th Congress of the Union Europeenne des Arabisants et Islamisants, held at the University of Utrecht in September 1990. They were selected for publication in this volume because of their originality and substance. The diversity and richness of this collection reflects the scope of research in the fields of Arabic and Islamic studies in Europe today.
Iraq
Well-considered answers to the many questions raised by the situation in Iraq, past and present, are rare. This first comprehensive, thematically organised, bibliography devoted to Iraq is based on the full Index Islamicus database and is drawn from a wide variety of European-language journals and books. Featuring an extensive introduction to the subject and its literature by Peter Sluglett, this bibliography will help readers to find their way through the massive secondary literature now available. Following the pattern established by the Index Islamicus, both journal articles and book publications are included, as well as important internet resources. The editors have taken care to add much new material to bring its coverage up to date, and supplement the previously published volumes, while the most important and/or influential publications are conveniently highlighted in the introduction. An indispensable gateway for all those with a more than superficial interest in what is, and what has been, happening in this nation so much the focus of attention today.
Byzantino-Normannica
The monograph, based on Greek, Latin and Old French primary sources (especially Anna Komnene's Alexiad and William of Apulia's Gesta Roberti Wiscardi), as well as on a wide range of secondary material available in several languages, attempts a detailed description of the first century of Byzantine-Norman relations, namely from the early 11th to the early 12th century, focusing on the first two Norman expeditions against Byzantium's Ionian and Helladic possessions (1081-1085 and 1107-1108). The diplomatic background related to the intricacies of Byzantium's external affairs in one of its most perplexed historical periods, is discussed throughout in detail, making use of pertinent research fro...
