Jāmī in Regional Contexts: The Reception of ʿAbd Al-Raḥmān Jāmī’s Works in the Islamicate World is the first attempt to present in a comprehensive manner how ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jāmī (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 Jāmī’s works throughout the Eurasian continent and maritime Southeast Asia.
Übersetzungen spielten bei dem Verwestlichungs- und Modernisierungsprozess der Türkischen Republik im 20. Jahrhundert eine wichtige Rolle. Sie dienten nicht nur der Verbreitung der Ideen des Westens, sondern auch der Gestaltung von literarischen und wissenschaftlichen Ideen. Obwohl die ÜbersetzerInnen sehr stark bei der Ausformung der türkischen Literatur mitgewirkt haben, sind sie kaum bekannt. Wer aber waren diese "unbekannten HeldInnen"? Ausgehend von den grundlegenden Informationen des türkischen Übersetzerlexikons, welches nach dem Muster des schwedischen Übersetzerlexikons Svenskt Översättarlexikon und des Germersheimer Übersetzerlexikons angelegt wurde, werden elf Übersetze...

In Essays on Turkish Literature and History Barbara Flemming makes available essays partly previously published in German. They offer insights gained through decades of scholarship. Although the Ottoman period is central, a wide range is covered, including an early Turkish principality, Mamluk and Ottoman Egypt, and contemporary southeastern Turkey. The essays look into historical and political factors involved in the preoccupation with the world’s ending, into Muslim-Christian dialogue, the sultan’s prayer before battle, and the bilingualism of poets. Of particular interest are the sections on female participation in mysticism, on an anti-Sufi movement in Cairo, on the Ottoman capital’s appeal to collectors and emigrants (Diez, Süssheim, Böhlau), and on the far-reaching effects of alphabet change.
