A descriptive catalogue of the Fyzee Collection of Ismaili manuscripts.Most of the Western Isma'ili literature is in Arabic. A number of these works are extant in manuscript form and are preserved by some of the followers of ad-Da'watu'l-Qadîma, mainly by the Dâ'ûdî Bohras of India. It is said that large numbers of manuscripts are also preserved in the Yemen. Besides these two major sources, manuscripts are found in some other places also. The Ismaili Society has collected manuscripts and preserved them in their library. Non-Ismaailis are taking an interest in this literature, so we find some valuable manuscripts in some public libraries and private collections. This collection of Ismaili manuscripts, belnging to Asaf A. A. Fyzee and presented tothe Bombay University Library, contains some valuable works. The first Ismâ'îlî author is Abû Hâtîm ar-Râzî (see no. ii). He was a contemporary of the famous Razes. His twoimportant works. Kitâbu'l-Islâh (see no. 11) and A'Lâmu'n-nubûwa (see no. 10) are found in this collection . Then Ismâ'îlî literature in the Fatimid period developed fully in the time of Hamîdu'd-dîn al-Kirmânî (see no. viii)ç. Most of his works are also included in this collection. A large number of manuscripts of a very celebrated author of the Fatimid period is at Mu'ayyad fi'd-dîn asb-Shirâzî (see no. X). Some of his works have found their way to this collection...".

ill., ril. L'Iran è un paese di frontiera. È luogo di passaggio, cerniera fra Oriente e Occidente e sede privilegiata di autonoma elaborazione artistica. Quella persiana è una delle grandi culture dell'antichità che hanno mantenuto vive attraverso i secoli tradizioni religiose, politiche, urbanistiche e artistiche, adattandole e modificandole secondo necessità, ma sempre con esiti assai originali. In ambito artistico, sia in architettura, sia nelle arti decorative, non possiamo tracciare un profilo islamico senza prendere in considerazione l'apporto iranico, specifico e ben individuabile, ma non per questo scollegato o estraneo alla elaborazione islamica comune ad altre aree: da quella mediterranea a quella d'Asia Centrale. L'elaborazione artistica che sí compie in Iran ha un peso notevole per la stessa definizione di arte islamica. Giovanni Curatola ne traccia un profilo presentandone l'architettura (anche con un'analisi degli aspetti ornamentali), e le arti cosiddette decorative quali la miniatura, le ceramiche e i tappeti. Le trasformazioni del mondo islamico nei secoli dell'incontro con l'Occidente e le reazioni che ci furono a quell'impatto ci fanno comprendere anche alcune vicende artistiche contemporanee. Un mondo così complesso e una presenza culturale così forte non poté rimanere circoscritta a un'area geografica definita e l'irradiarsi di elementi artistici prettamente islamici - ma Islam d'Iran - sono presenti con sfumature diverse nel Caucaso, in Asia Centrale, in India e, ovviamente, anche in Europa. Quella persiana è una tessera indispensabile nel particolare mosaico artistico islamico, senza la cui analisi è difficile comprendere una rappresentazione che ben sintetizza una civiltà con quasi un millennio e mezzo di Storia.

8vo, hardcover in dj, The Shahnameh, an epic poem recounting the foundation of Iran across mythical, heroic, and historical ages, is the beating heart of Persian literature and culture. Composed by Abu al-Qasem Ferdowsi over a thirty-year period and completed in the year 1010, the epic has entertained generations of readers and profoundly shaped Persian culture, society, and politics. For a millennium, Iranian and Persian-speaking people around the globe have read, memorized, discussed, performed, adapted, and loved the poem. In this book, Hamid Dabashi brings the Shahnameh to renewed global attention, encapsulating a lifetime of learning and teaching the Persian epic for a new generation of readers. Dabashi insightfully traces the epic’s history, authorship, poetic significance, complicated legacy of political uses and abuses, and enduring significance in colonial and postcolonial contexts. In addition to explaining and celebrating what makes the Shahnameh such a distinctive literary work, he also considers the poem in the context of other epics, such as the Aeneid and the Odyssey, and critical debates about the concept of world literature. Arguing that Ferdowsi’s epic and its reception broached this idea long before nineteenth-century Western literary criticism, Dabashi makes a powerful case that we need to rethink the very notion of “world literature” in light of his reading of the Persian epic.
