Book Description

0878501460 978-0878501465 December 2003
When did the first books emerge in Islamic culture, and how were they transmitted over the centuries? This highly controversial question is essential to our understanding of the rise of early Islamic educational and intellectual institutions, as well as for the evaluation of the earliest sources of Islamic history in general.

Taking into account the biographical tradition, the manuscripts of the Kitâb al-Amwâl with their numerous endorsements, and quotations from the Kitâb al-Amwâl in later works, the author sheds important light on the relationship between oral and written transmission. He also focuses on differences and similarities between authors and transmitters of works and on the difficulties of distinguishing the one from the other. He presents us with new insights on the emergence and development of teaching and study methods in classical Islam and on the importance of the oral tradition against the background of the appearance of increasing numbers of books. *** Wann entstanden die ersten Bücher im Islam und wie wurden sie überliefert? Diese in der Islamwissenschaft seit längerem kontrovers diskutierte Frage ist sowohl entscheidend, um den Quellenwert der frühesten Werke im Islam zu bestimmen als auch, um die Entwicklung des islamischen Lehrbetriebs nachvollziehen zu können. Ihre Beantwortung hilft also, die frühislamische Geschichte insgesamt besser zu verstehen. Auf der methodologischen Ebene setzt sich die Arbeit kritisch mit den bislang zur Datierung von frühislamischen Werken verwendeten Methoden auseinander. Dabei werden vor allem die Schwächen einer reinen Formanalyse deutlich. Hier gelingt der Nachweis, dass eine solche Formanalyse von Werken ohne Rückgriff auf die Handschriften eines Werkes und ohne die Berücksichtigung von Zitaten in späteren Werken leicht zu falschen Ergebnissen führen kann.
