Abstract
This article discusses the interpretation of the Christian apocalyptic texts, such as the Revelation of St John and the pseudo-Clementine Book of the Rolls, by Faḍl Allāh Astarābādī (d. 796/1394), the founder of a mystical and messianic movement which was influential in medieval Iran and Anatolia. This interpretation can be situated within the tradition of ‘positive’ Muslim hermeneutics of the Christian and Jewish scriptures which was particularly developed in Shiite and especially Ismāʿīlī circles. Faḍl Allāh incorporates the Christian apocalyptic texts into an Islamic eschatological context, combining them with Qurʾān and ḥadīṯ material. Faḍl Allāh’s hermeneutical enterprise, focused on the figure of Jesus, produces an original version of Islamic myths regarding the eschatological Saviour.
本文讨论了Faḍl Allāh Astarābādī(公元796/1394年)对基督教启示录文本的解释，如圣约翰启示录和伪克莱门汀卷书，他是一个神秘和弥赛亚运动的创始人，在中世纪的伊朗和安纳托利亚很有影响力。这种解释可以定位在基督教和犹太教经典的“积极”穆斯林解释学传统中，这种传统在什叶派尤其是ismmu - al - l -圈中得到了特别的发展。Faḍl Allāh将基督教的末世论文本与古兰经ān和ḥadīṯ的材料结合起来，融入伊斯兰教的末世论语境。Faḍl Allāh的解释学事业，专注于耶稣的形象，产生了一个关于末世救主的伊斯兰神话的原始版本。
