Overview

Jami in Regional Contexts: The Reception of 'Abd Al-Rahman Jami's Works in the Islamicate World is the first attempt to present in a comprehensive manner how 'Abd al-Rahman Jami (d. 898/1492), a most influential figure in the Persian-speaking world, reshaped the canons of Islamic mysticism, literature and poetry and how, in turn, this new canon prompted the formation of regional traditions. As a result, a renewed geography of intellectual practices emerges as well as questions surrounding authorship and authority in the making of vernacular cultures. Specialists of Persian, Arabic, Chinese, Georgian, Malay, Pashto, Sanskrit, Urdu, Turkish, and Bengali thus provide a unique connected account of the conception and reception of Jami's works throughout the Eurasian continent and maritime Southeast Asia.

Reviews

Man muss die Herausgeber bewundern ob ihrer editorischen [...] Das vorliegende Buch zeigt, dass eine solche Kreativitat weiter bestanden hat. Das war auch und vor allem an deren Randern weiter der Fall. Dass darauf hingewiesen wird, ist einer der Vorzuge dieses Buches. Der andere ist, dass hier einem Universalgelehrten islamischer Kultur ein Denkmal gesetzt worden ist, das anderen Forschern Anlass zu weiteren Bemuhungen um die Werke dieses bedeutenden Mannes geben wird. Peter Heine in Orientalistische Literaturzeitung 115/4-5 (2020)
