WiSe 15/16: Authorship in Medieval Arabic Literature
Lucia Raggetti
Comments
Authorship and authority are two crucial questions in the transmission of scientific knowledge in the Midlle Ages. Many materials were transmitted under the name of pseudo-authors, while authorial works mere transmitted by fluid traditions. In this intellectual atmospere, Fundgeschichten and frame tales attributing the text to a specific authority multiplied. A number of texts from different textual genres (astrology, alchemy, mineralogy, science of properties) will be presented and discussed in class. The Block Seminar will be the occasion for a intensive session of work on the primary sources. close
