Abstract

This paper is a survey of the destruction of books particularly by traditionists (collectors, transmitters, and critics of hadith) and particularly in the ninth century CE and before, offered as an addendum to Omar Ali de Unzaga’s forthcoming study of book burning in Islam. The destruction of books from distrust of written transmission has been adequately brought out by Michael Cook. What I chiefly add to previous scholarly accounts are some additional examples, a brief consideration of destroying books for the sake of orthodoxy, and a better account of pious reasons for destroying books, which had much to do with distrust not of writing hadith but of teaching it as a temptation to pride and a distraction from weightier things.

传统主义者对书籍的毁灭
这篇论文是对传统主义者(收集者、传播者和圣训评论家)尤其是公元9世纪及之前的书籍毁灭的调查,作为奥马尔·阿里·德·乌扎加即将出版的关于伊斯兰教焚书的研究的附录。迈克尔·库克(Michael Cook)充分指出了对书面传播的不信任对书籍的破坏。我在先前的学术叙述中主要补充的是一些额外的例子,对为了正统而毁灭书籍的简短考虑,以及对毁灭书籍的虔诚理由的更好描述,这在很大程度上与不信任有关,而不是对写作圣训的不信任,而是对教学的不信任,因为它是一种骄傲的诱惑,分散了人们对更重要的事情的注意力。
