‎Al-Aḥ�dīth al-Ḥis�n fī Fa�l al-Ṭaylas�n‎

‎<p><em>Al-aḥ�dīth al-ḥis�n fī fa�l al-ṭaylas�n</em> "<em>The beautiful traditions about the merits of the ṭaylas�n</em>" is a book concerned with Muslim attire. The author draws his material from the prophetic traditions from the books of law from Qurʾ�nic exegesis and from books of history. However the book has significance for other fields as well. It reflects the various trends of thought in the Mamlūk period and the struggle between the various schools of law. These struggles seem to have revolved around questions related to the administration of the religious endowments <em>waqf</em>.</p><p>The present edition of the Arabic text is based on four manuscripts. The editor has provided an introduction in French in which he discusses the contents and the significance of the <em>Aḥ�dīth</em>.</p> The Max Schloessinger Memorial Foundation paperback‎

‎JawÄmi‘ Ä€dÄb al-Ṣūfiyya and ‘UyÅ«b al-Nafs wa-MudÄwÄtuhÄ‎

‎<p>This is an edition of two texts by AbÅ« ‘Abd al-RaḥmÄn al-SulamÄ« d. 412/1021 one of the most important <em>ṢūfÄ«</em> authors. Al-SulamÄ« combined thorough knowledge of tradition <em>ḥadÄ«th</em> with the <em>ṢūfÄ«</em> heritage. He paved the way for the gradual acceptance of Ṣūfism into the mainstream of Islamic thought by endeavoring in much of his work to prove that Ṣūfism and Islam were mutually compatible .</p><p>The texts in this edition present two important aspects of al-Sulamī‟s writings. In the <em>JawÄmi‘ adÄb al-Ṣūfiyya</em> "<em>A collection of ṢūfÄ« rules of conduct</em>" al-SulamÄ« provides us with what is apparently the first comprehensive documentation of <em>ṢūfÄ«</em> customs and practices. Most of the <em>JawÄmi‘</em> consists of <em>Ṣūfi</em> sayings representing the views of five generations of thinkers. The subjects dealt with cover a wide range and reflect the preoccupations of <em>ṢūfÄ«</em> society.</p><p>The second work is a handbook of spiritual discipline entitled <em>‘UyÅ«b al-nafs wa-mudÄwÄtuhÄ</em> "<em>The defects of the soul and their remedy</em>". As its title suggests the <em>‘UyÅ«b</em> deals with one of the central motifs of Ṣūfism the constant struggle against the <em>nafs</em> or the "lower soul". The attitudes and beliefs expressed are on the whole characteristic of the early ascetics who regarded the conduct of the Prophet as the supreme example. In both style and content this work occupies the middle ground between the worlds of <em>ḥadÄ«th</em> <em>adab</em> and ethics. The two texts contribute not only to a better appreciation of al-SulamÄ«'s work but also to our understanding of a crucial phase in the history of Ṣūfism.</p> The Max Schloessinger Memorial Foundation paperback‎

‎Socrates Arabus: Life and teachings‎

‎<p>This book is a major resource for the study of Socrates as seen by the Muslim tradition. The characteristics attributed to him in Islamic thought are mainly in the realm of ethics. His wisdom was recorded in medieval Muslim literature in the form of sayings or descriptions of behavior in a style reminiscent of prophetic traditions <em>ḥadīth</em> in Islam. The Arab Socrates is thus different from thinkers such as Plato or Aristotle who were seen as systematic philosophers; this difference is probably due to the fact that some of their writings had been translated into Arabic.</p><p>Among the more important issues in the legacy of the Arab Socrates who was sometimes confused with Diogenes was his encounter with the king and his trial and death; his views on God; life and death; speech and silence and on wisdom and stupidity.</p><p>The book contains approximately 900 items of information culled from various philosophical historical literary and theological sources in Arabic. The material is organized in two sections: biography and teachings. The Arabic text is accompanied by an English translation copious footnotes indices and a detailed critical apparatus. The book complements a previous study by the author Socrates in medieval literature published by the Magnes Press and Brill in 1991.</p> The Max Schloessinger Memorial Foundation paperback‎

‎Treatises of Vices and Virtues in Latin and the Vernacular‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 1993 Hardcover. 205 p., 160 x 240 mm, Languages: English, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503360683.‎

‎Newhauser's work on the genre of the treatise on vices and virtues is, in effect, an attempt to resolve a paradox of modern scholarship. We have witnessed, in the past thirty years in particular, a rapid growth in the number of studies on the vices and virtues in the Middle Ages and on individual vices or virtues or on works containing information about them - and nevertheless there is almost no scholarship on the tractatus de vitiis et virtutibus as the one medieval genre devoted exclusively to these moral constructs. Newhauser, thus, has taken on the task of establishing the genre, more or less for the first time, and this pioneering work has also essentially influenced the goals of his volume: if it is impossible at this stage to assess with finality the problems involved in the transmission of representatives of the genre due to their overwhelming number and the incompleteness of bibliographic aids to collections of medieval manuscripts, one can nevertheless begin to sketch the outlines of the genre, its historical development, and its importance within the corpus of medieval religious literature in sufficient detail and with enough attention to genre theory to serve as a guide for future research in this vast field of literature and to draw attention to some of the areas in which medievalists have much to gain by further investigations of representatives of the genre.<br>Cet ouvrage traite du genre litteraire connu sous le nom de traites sur les vices et les vertus. Il comble une lacune, car il n'existe pratiquement pas d'etude scientifique sur ces traites, bien que ceux-ci constituent le seul genre medieval consacre exclusivement a ces concepts moraux. S'il est impossible, actuellement, d'etablir avec precision les problemes souleves par la transmission des temoins a cause de leur nombre imposant et de la deficience des outils bibliographiques menant aux collections de manuscrits medievaux, on est cependant en mesure d'esquisser les caracteristiques du genre et son developpement de maniere suffisamment detaillee pour ouvrir la voie a l'etude de ce vaste domaine litteraire et pour attirer l'attention sur certaines difficultes que les medievistes rencontrent dans leurs recherches sur ce genre. Le genre litteraire decrit ici est typiquement chretien. La culture juive n'a produit que relativement peu de textes de ce type, alors qu'elle partage avec le christianisme bien d'autres expressions de litterature ethique. Le grand nombre de traites sur les vices et les vertus en milieu chretien tient essentiellement a l'evolution particuliere de l'histoire de la theologie catholique: tout d'abord par le developpement d'une spiritualite ascetique monastique, ensuite par l'importance grandissante d'une doctrine de la penitence et de la confession auriculaire, deux evolutions dans lesquelles la double structure des sept (ou huit) peches capitaux et leurs complements moraux a joue un role majeur. En general, la litterature arabe du moyen age n'a pas non plus produit des paralleles avec le genre decrit dans le present volume. L'auteur n'a pas tente d'ecrire une histoire litteraire des concepts de vices et de vertus courants en theologie morale dans le moyen age chretien. Il a fait un premier pas dans l'examen des principes organisateurs et des sources d'inspiration des traites de virtutibus et vitiis, et seulement dans‎
