Descrizione

VI-54 pages. 2 color illustrations. Paperback. Collana: Dost Archives, 01. Publisher's description: The samples reproduced in this volume refer to Paul E. Kahle's studies on the shadow plays of Mu?ammad Ibn Daniyal whose text he had intended to prepare for a critical edition in the years before the Second World War. Mu?ammad b. Daniyal was an oculist of Cairo who died in 1311 AD. He is mainly famous for his three shadow plays which are among the few Medieval examples of theatre literature in the Arab world. The story of this edition is a real work in progress which went through progressive acquisitions of manuscripts and debates about the proper interpretation of these very difficult texts. This material belongs to Kahle's fund acquired by the University of Turin and now preserved in the library of the Department of Oriental Studies and constitutes no doubt the most valuable collection it has. The Editorial note by Roberto Tottoli points out the role of Kahle in German Oriental studies and the relevance of his private library.
