Texts, Scribes and Transmission : Manuscript Cultures of the Ismaili Communities and Beyond / edited by Wafi A. Momin. Texts, Scribes and Transmission London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2022. ©2022 1 online resource (xv, 481 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Description based on: online resource; title from PDF information screen (directory.doabooks.org, viewed February 19, 2023). The past few decades have seen a burgeoning of interest in the manuscript cultures of the Muslim world. The study of manuscripts has brought to light new perspectives on the transmission of texts and larger questions of cultural practices passed down within the learned circles of premodern Muslim societies. But the intellectual and literary heritage of Ismaili communities, forming a major branch of Shi'i Islam, has until recently been preserved in private and largely inaccessible libraries. This open access volume brings together studies offering insights on different aspects of the manuscript cultures nurtured by Ismaili communities until well after the widespread dissemination of printed books. The wide-ranging materials transmitted via these manuscripts in Arabic, Persian and Indic languages also reflect the doctrinal and literary preoccupation of Muslims at large and of other groups from the societies where Ismailis lived. Hence, the manuscripts bear the imprint of their respective cultural contexts, namely a number of regions from the Near East, Central and South Asia. As well as engaging with multifaceted problems surrounding the processes of textual transmission, the chapters in this book deal with other connected aspects like codicology, scribal and reading practices, educational and social history, authorship, script, religious identity and interactions of ideas across ideological denominations. With contributions from both seasoned and younger scholars, the volume will be of interest to those working on textual scholarship, manuscript and literary cultures, and Islamic studies. Includes bibliographical references and index. Transmission of texts. 0-7556-4540-5 0-7556-4541-3 Momin, Wafi A., editor. |
