Reading Course
WiSe 19/20: Reading on the 'author' in Arabic literature
Isabel Toral
Comments
The focus of the reading course will be programmatic introductions (muqaddimat), in which the authors explain their objectives and thus provide insight into their self-conception of authorship. We will read texts i.a. by Ibn al-Muqaffa‘, al-Gahiz, Ibn Abd-Rabbih, of Abu¯ Mans?u¯r al-Tha?a¯libi¯, a?-?abari und Ibn ?aldun. close
