  • The maqama

    Open AccessRina DroryCHAPTERAl-Andalus2000

    Few classical Arabic literary phenomena have achieved as much fame, both inside and outside the Arabic world, as the maqama. The maqamat are collections of short independent narratives written in ornamental rhymed prose (sajʿ) with verse insertions, and share a common plot-scheme and two constant protagonists: the narrator and the hero. Each narrative (maqama) usually chooses one familiar adab-topos for elaboration; each tells of an episode in wh…

  • Models and Contacts

    Rina DroryBOOKModels and Contacts2000

    Medieval Jewish literature from the 10th century onwards drew heavily on Arabic literary models. This important new study discusses the introduction of fictionality into Classical Arabic Literature, the mechanics of the basic rhyming model in Classical Arabic poetry and the medieval Arabic theory of rhyme. Subsequently, it goes on to analyze the introduction of Arabic literary models into 10th-century Jewish literature, Karaite influences, the ro…

  • Le rôle de la littérature karaïte dans l'histoire de la littérature juive au Xe siècle

    Rina DroryARTICLERevue des Études Juives2000

    When and where did Arabic interference with Jewish literature under Muslim rule first occur ?

A consideration of the overall Jewish literary output in the first half of the tenth century shows that Rab-banite literature was governed…

    À la cour des Abbassides, ' amour ' devint le nom d'un jeu social. Cet article cherche à reconstruire les donnes particulières de ce modèle culturel, en termes de statut, de structures et de fonctions à l'intérieur de la société de cour. Il est vraisemblable que l'amour chez les Abbassides s'éloignait nettement des traditions héritées. C'était l'élément moteur pour acquérir l'adab, le raffinement culturel. Dans le ' vocabulaire des motifs ' abbas…

  • The Abbasid Construction of the Jahiliyya

    Rina DroryARTICLEStudia Islamica1996Cited by: 3

    Sometime in the mid-sixties of the eighth century CE, an historic event concerning the canonization of classical Arabic poetry took place, which was to substantially affect medieval and eventually our knowledge and perception of pre-Islamic poetry. A medieval source recounts that the Caliph al-Mansmr (reigned 754-775) overheard his son, the Crown Prince al-Mahdi, reciting an ode by the pre-Islamic poet al-Musayyab, in front of his tutor al-Mufadd…
