Descrizione della Palestina nella riḥla maggiore dello šayḫ ‛Abd al-Ġanī al-Nābulusī (1641-1731)
2023
L’assenza di testi di Storia in lingua araba che affrontino complessivamente il periodo di governo ottomano in Palestina – lacuna che soltanto di recente, e in modo discontinuo, si è iniziato a colmare – tende a far privilegiare l’uso di altra tipologia di documenti, quali i siǧillāt (registri) conservati nei tribunali e negli archivi della regione, i kutub tarāǧim, o dizionari biografici, le mudhakkirāt, o memorie, e i resoconti di viaggio. La riḥla intitolata Al-ḥaqīqa wa’l-maǧāz fī riḥlat Bilād al-Šām wa Miṣr wa’l-Ḥiǧāz del noto šayḫ di origini damascene ‛Abd al-Ġanī al-Nābulusī (1641-1731), che è il più ampio tra i suoi resoconti di viaggio, e che il ‛ālim ha condotto sullo scorcio del …
Going back to the sources to preserve the Islamic history of Palestine. Jerusalem's archival heritage as a case study
2019
With regard to the presence of very important archives located in the heart of the most important city of Palestine (such as the maktaba al–masjid al–Aqsâ, the maktaba al–Budayriyya and the maktaba al– Uzbakiyya, to give an example), and in consideration of the recent events which have negatively involved both its social and cultural life, it seems to us that Jerusalem al–Quds can well represent an emblematic case study. To better highlight the necessity of going back to the sources in order to re–establish, and therefore to preserve, the Islamic history of Palestine, and to better define the significant role of Jerusalem’s archives, we consider it useful to precise both the historical and …
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…

Familiarity and otherness in late-Ottoman travel accounts in Palestine.
2018
Apart from the more common pilgrimage reports, or rihla higaziyya, the rihla maqdisiyya (journey to the Palestinian territories) definitely forms a distinct typology of account, both from a historical and a literary point of view. The territories of Palestine, which are traditionally considered as a part of the wider unit of Bilad al-Sham in the perspective of Arab historians and geographers, represent a peculiar pole of attraction for Arab travellers throughout the centuries, due to the significant presence of holy places and the special regard accorded to the city of Jerusalem as early as the Islamic conquest of the area. In the late-Ottoman period (mid-19th - 20th century), Palestine exp…

Déplacement et engagement dans l'œuvre "Al-rawda al-nu'maniyya fi siyahat Filastin" de Nu'man al-Qasatili (1854-1920)
2017
Au carrefour entre relèvement topographique, analyse sociologique et récit de voyage (riḥla), l’œuvre Al-rawḍa al-nu̔māniyya fī siyāḥat Filasṭīn de l’historien Nu̔mān al-Qasāṭilī al-Dimašqī (1854 – 1920) représent un témoignage important éclairant des aspects de la vie sociale et culturelle des territoires palestiniens qui, vers 1870, font encore partie de la province ottomane de Syrie (wilāyat al-Šām). À Jérusalem, ville qui veut constituer le cœur de notre analyse, le regard du voyageur se fixe non seulement sur le milieu social, d’ailleurs conditionné par la présence de différentes communautés religieuses (juifs, chrétiens, musulmans), mais aussi sur la réalité institutionnelle et cultur…

'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.
