This study represents the continuation and in part the completion of a research study within an Islamic educational and philanthropic institution, currently located in Greek territory. Through repeated inspections and a long work of comparison, not only have the volumes kept at the institution of Kavála been catalogued, but the composition of the entire library has also been almost entirely reconstructed, identifying additional funds belonging to it. Furthermore, the research examines the implications useful for delineating both the cultural profile of the Institution and a particular historical phase for the methodological and content innovations introduced in the transmission of knowledge within the Islamic world.

Le xe siècle représente un tournant important dans l'histoire politique des pays d'Islam avec l'apparition de trois califats rivaux qui eurent pour capitales Bagdad, Le Caire et Cordoue, tandis que la fin du xve siècle vit la puissance ottomane s'affirmer en Orient et la domination musulmane disparaître de la péninsule Ibérique. Durant toute cette période, marquée par l'émergence de nombreux États régionaux, aucun modèle islamique de gouvernement ne s'imposa. Bien qu'unies par des institutions, des pratiques et des conceptions communes, les régions de cet immense empire présentaient, en effet, une si grande diversité linguistique, ethnique, religieuse, géographique et historique, que des formes de pouvoir très différentes se développèrent. En témoigne la documentation de nature variée rassemblée dans cet ouvrage : documents de chancellerie, extraits de sources littéraires, historiques, juridiques, géographiques, inscriptions, monnaies, enluminures, l'ensemble de ces sources laisse transparaître la conception et l'exercice des différents pouvoirs, leurs manifestations en milieu urbain, le soutien que leur apportèrent les oulémas, ainsi que certaines formes d'autonomies, de conflits et de résistances. Califes, vizirs, sultans, émirs, gouverneurs, responsables de la police ou des marchés, qu'ils aient été grands souverains ou intermédiaires plus modestes, les détenteurs de l'autorité apparaissent ainsi dans toute leur diversité dans des documents qui nous renseignent également sur la mise en scène du pouvoir et sa manière de communiquer. Toutes ces questions sur la nature et la représentation du gouvernement, le polycentrisme, la légitimité des États, les relations entre politique et religion, sont des sujets qui ont fait l'objet, ces dernières années, d'un important renouvellement historiographique dont la documentation, rassemblée ici, souhaite se faire l'écho.

This volume explores and calls into question certain commonly held assumptions about writing and technological advancement in the Islamic tradition. In particular, it challenges the idea that mechanical print naturally and inevitably displaces handwritten texts as well as the notion that the so-called transition from manuscript to print is unidirectional. Indeed, rather than distinct technologies that emerge in a progressive series (one naturally following the other), they frequently co-exist in complex and complementary relationships relationships we are only now starting to recognize and explore.00The book brings together essays by internationally recognized scholars from an array of disciplines (including philology, linguistics, religious studies, history, anthropology, and typography) whose work focuses on the written word channeled through various media as a social and cultural phenomenon within the Islamic tradition. These essays promote systematic approaches to the study of Islamic writing cultures writ large, in an effort to further our understanding of the social, cultural and intellectual relationships between manuscripts, printed texts and the people who use and create them.

Medieval Arabic Historiography is concerned with social contexts and narrative structures of pre-modern Islamic historiography written in Arabic in seventh and thirteenth-century Syria and Eygpt. Taking up recent theoretical reflections on historical writing in the European Middle Ages, this extraordinary study combines approaches drawn from social sciences and literary studies, with a particular focus on two well-known texts: Abu Shama's The Book of the Two Gardens, and Ibn Wasil's The Dissipater of Anxieties. These texts describe events during the life.
