Abstract

This study investigates the status of poets and poetry in sixteenth-century Ottoman Damascus by focusing on soldier-turned-poet Māmayya al-Rūmī (d. 985-7/1577-9). As a poet he received patronage from local centers of prestige; however, such support seems to have been at best sporadic. While his dīwān (collection of poetry) is replete with poems celebrating his poetic ingenuity—notwithstanding the fact that he was not a native Arab, it is also a testimony to his frustrations with lack of financial security and his diminishing social status. In addition to gloomy poetry, he also composed a great number of panegyrics in honor of Ottoman sultans, scholars, and administrators. What was Māmayya’s position in the literary culture of sixteenth-century Damascus as a Rūmī? What was the role of panegyric poetry in this period? Did poets voice their concerns about lack of appreciation? This study explores these questions by focusing on a selection of poems by Māmayya al-Rūmī with references to his contemporary, and later poets.

在16世纪悲叹沧桑与颂扬奥斯曼帝国的权威之间:Māmayya al-Rūmī (d. 985-7/1577-9)时代与诗歌
本研究以士兵出身的诗人马(公元985-7/1577-9)为研究对象,考察了16世纪奥斯曼大马士革的诗人和诗歌的地位。作为一名诗人,他得到了当地声望中心的资助;然而,这种支持似乎充其量只是零星的。虽然他的诗集充满了赞美他的诗歌独创性的诗歌——尽管他不是土生土长的阿拉伯人,但这也证明了他对缺乏经济保障和社会地位下降感到沮丧。除了忧郁的诗歌,他还创作了大量的赞美诗,以纪念奥斯曼帝国的苏丹、学者和行政人员。在16世纪大马士革的文学文化中,Māmayya作为一个RāMī的地位是什么?潘尼盖里诗歌在这一时期的作用是什么?诗人们是否表达了他们对缺乏鉴赏力的担忧?本研究通过马的诗歌选集来探讨这些问题,并参考了他当代和后来的诗人。
