Ḍawʾ Al-sārī li-maʿrifat ḫabar Tamīm al-Dārī = On Tamīm Al-Dārī And His Waqf in Hebron

Description

Critical Edition, Annotated Translation and Introduction by Yehoshua Frenkel. The present book investigates three short late Mamluk treatises about land properties (waqf) in the Palestinian city of Hebron, which the prophet Muhammad granted to Tamīm al-Dārī. The treatise entitled 'Ḍawʾ Al-sārī li-maʿrifat ḫabar Tamīm al-Dārī' by al-Maqrīzī (d. 845/1442) is the core of the book. It is edited here for the first time on the sole basis of the copy corrected by the author. A facsimile of the manuscript is also provided at the end of the book. In order to illuminate the discourse on property rights and donation that prevailed in the Mamluk period and al-Maqrīzī's position, two additional treatises dealing with the same issue are included. The first is 'al-Ǧawāb al-ǧalīl ʿan ḥukm balad al-Ḫalīl' by Ibn Ḥaǧar al-ʿAsqalānī (d. 852/1448). The second is 'al-Faḍl al-ʿamīm fī iqṭāʿ Tamīm' by al-Suyūṭī (911/1505). The three texts are fully translated and annotated and preceded by a thorough introduction. List of Figures and Maps List of Plates Abbreviations Foreword Preface Introduction 1. Contextualization 2.
