Abstract
Abstract This article focuses on MS Leiden Or. 95, which contains a version of the Ḥall mushkilāt al-Ishārāt by Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī (d. 672/1273), copied apparently in 1272 CE . This article explores the paratextual evidence present in the manuscript in order to reconstruct the history of the book and investigate aspects of cultural life in Mongol and post-Mongol Baghdad. It is an attempt, based on manuscript evidence, to contribute to the broader discussion on the impact that the Mongol invasions had on the cultural life of the Middle East in general and the city of Baghdad in particular. The analysis of the colophon, ownership marks, reading certificates, and annotations in this codex offer a particular case study of aspects of production, distribution, and consumption of knowledge in Ilkhanid Baghdad.
摘要:本文主要研究MS Leiden Or. 95,其中包含Naṣīr al- d đ n al-Ṭūsī (d. 672/1273)的Ḥall mushkilāt al-Ishārāt版本,显然是在公元1272年复制的。本文探讨了手稿中存在的文本证据,以重建这本书的历史,并调查蒙古和后蒙古巴格达文化生活的各个方面。这是一项基于手稿证据的尝试,旨在为更广泛的讨论蒙古入侵对中东文化生活的影响,特别是巴格达城的影响做出贡献。对colophon,所有权标记,阅读证书和注释的分析提供了伊尔汗尼巴格达知识生产,分配和消费方面的特定案例研究。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts (JIM) explores the crucial importance of the handwritten book in the Muslim world. It is concerned with the written transmission of knowledge, the numerous varieties of Islamic book culture and the materials and techniques of bookmaking, namely codicology. It also considers activities related to the care and management of Islamic manuscript collections, including cataloguing, conservation and digitization. It is the Journal’s ambition to provide students and scholars, librarians and collectors – in short, everyone who is interested in Islamic manuscripts – with a professional journal and functional platform of their own. It welcomes contributions in English, French and Arabic on codicology, textual studies, manuscript collections and collection care and management. Papers will be peer-reviewed to maintain a high scholarly level. The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts is published on behalf of the Islamic Manuscript Association Limited, an international non-profit organization dedicated to protecting Islamic manuscripts and supporting those who work with them.
