Mudarrisūn e muḥaddiṯūn a Damasco negli awāmir sulṭāniyyah (1876-1908)
2014
The Center for Historical Documentation of Damascus, which was founded in 1960, houses a relevant variety of first-hand sources dating back to the Ottoman period, which prove to be fundamental in order to better define some peculiar aspects of history of Bilād al-Šām, such as the role of ʿulamāʾ and transmission of knowledge. As far as this is concerned, the awāmir sulṭāniyyah represent an essential part of the documentation, not only for the number of biographical data about mudarrisūn and muḥadditūn who were living and teaching in Damascus, but also for the particular relationship that they established with the main cultural institutions of the city, such as the traditional madāris. Throu…
Gerusalemme e la Palestina nella rihla maqdisiyya dello shaykh Jamal al-Din al-Qasimi (1903)
2019
The rihla maqdisiyya, or the record of the visit to to the Palestinian regions, and especially to Jerusalem (al-Quds), represents a particular typology of Arabic travel accounts as compared to other documents of this genre. As a matter of fact, the rihla maqdisiyya reflects some peculiarities which mainly depend, other than the particular geographical position of the Palestinian region, on the religious as well as symbolic significance that this has assumed throughout history (just consider the relevant presence of holy places for the three major monotheisms in Jerusalem). The rihla of Jamal al-Din al-Qasimi at the beginning of the 20th century is very little known. Not only it is of great …
La trasmissione dei saperi a Damasco fra tradizione e innovazione (1876-1908). La produzione arabo-islamica e la documentazione siriana dell'epoca.
2012
Il periodo di governo del sultano 'Abd al-Hamîd ii (1876-1908) fu epoca caratterizzata da sensibili mutamenti, in cui ruolo determinante ebbe la riforma del settore dell'istruzione. Entro tale quadro, Damasco - capitale della wilâya di Siria - assume valore emblematico nel rapporto tra il permanere di modalità di trasmissione del sapere tradizionali, in modo specifico legate al contesto arabo-islamico, e la creazione di nuovi canali e istituzioni deputate all'insegnamento. Attraverso un'analisi cosciente della diversità e complementarietà di aspetti legati alla sfera educativa - si pensi all'ambito propriamente istituzionale o a quello relativo a coloro che vi operavano - e il recupero di i…
'Ulamā' and Power: the case of al-Manīnī family in late-Ottoman Damascus.
2017
This contribution deals with the relationship between two relevant fields of the Islamic world, knowledge and power, otherwise said, ulemas and political authority, through the peculiar dynamics which tended to characterize the relationship between some renowned representatives of the former and the institutional as well as social sphere in late-Ottoman Damascus. In particular, it will focus on the analysis of data concerning members of an important branch of ulemas who lived in Damascus between the mid-19th century and the early 20th century: the Manini family.
L'essere maġribī tra marginalità e tamyīz. Il caso degli al-Baybānī a Damasco.
2013
The two main Arab-Islamic areas of Magrib and Masriq, although one could well distinguish them geographically, should not be considered as separated entities, both from a historical and a cultural point of view, but as two interconnected areas. This mainly depends on the unfailing flow of 'ulama' travelling from one area to the other, due to their willing of learning and at the same time transmitting their knowledge. Most 19th century Arabic biographical literature represents in this sense an essential source witnessing the important contribution which many 'ulama' magariba gave to a social as well as cultural process of progressive integration and development. In a more specific way, the c…
