SUMMARY:Multilingualism in Early Islamic Egypt: The View from Papyri
DESCRIPTION:After Arab armies conquered Egypt in the mid-seventh century\, the country’s linguistic landscape changed only gradually. Greek\, preeminent for centuries as a language of high culture and governance\, faded as Arabic advanced to fill these niches. Coptic\, which until then had functioned largely as a vernacular\, became in its turn a language of culture and administration. This talk traces the three languages’ variable coexistence in a time of political and social change through the papyri and literary sources. \nSponsored By: \nDean’s Discretionary Fund \nCenter for Near Eastern Studies \nDr. Naïm Vanthieghem is a Research Scholar at the Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes (IRHT)\, a division of the Centre National de la Recherche\nScientifique in Paris. A papyrologist and historian of Egypt who works with Arabic\,\nCoptic\, and Greek documents\, he earned a PhD from the Free University of Brussels in 2015. He held post-doctoral fellowships from the European Research Council and Princeton University before joining the IRHT in 2017. He is the author of numerous articles in his areas of interest\, which include multilingualism\, law\, scribal practice\, early Islam\, and governmental administration. \n  \nEvent Flyer\n\nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”115″ title=”false” description=”true”]

SUMMARY:Kitāb al-Ḥayda and Early Ḥanbalī Creeds
DESCRIPTION:Among Islamic groups\, Sunnī traditionalists\, especially Ḥanbalīs\, were strongly opposed to kalām (dialectical theology). Their condemnation of kalām was such that it became an established article of their creeds. Notwithstanding this official condemnation\, there is evidence in their writings that they practiced kalām. For example\, Ḥanbalī practices of kalām have been examined in the work of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328)\, as have their influences on the disputational legal writings (jadal al-fiqh) of Ibn ʿAqīl (d. 513/1119). This talk investigates the role of kalām\, specifically apologetic kalām\, in fourth/tenth-century Ḥanbalī works through the lens of a pseudepigraphon. By examining the genesis of this pseudepigraphon — known in its later recensions under the title Kitāb al-Ḥayda (Book of evasion) — in al-Ibāna al-kubrā (The major creed) of Ibn Baṭṭa al-ʿUkbarī (d. 387/997)\, the presentation will highlight compelling textual evidence not only of the role of apologetic kalām but also of the transmission of pseudepigraphic narratives in the formation of Ḥanbalī creeds. \nRacha El Omari is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at University of California-Santa Barbara. Her research interests are in the areas of Islamic Theology\, Islamic Intellectual History\, and Arabic-Islamic Historiography. She received her PhD from Yale University (NELC). Her works include The Theology of Abū al-Qāsim al-Balkhī/al-Kaʿbī (d. 319/931) (Brill\, forthcoming)\, and “Accomodation and Resistance: Classical Muʿtazilites on Ḥadīth.” Published in the Journal of Near Eastern Studies.
