"New Readings in Arabic Historiography contributes to research on Arabic texts of
history from late medieval Egypt and Syria. Departing from dominant understandings
of these texts through the prisms of authenticity and "literarization," it engages
with questions of textual constructedness and authorial agency. This edited volume
consists of 13 contributions by a new generation of scholars. Each of the volume's
three parts represents a different aspect of their new readings of particular texts.
Part one looks at concrete instances of textual interdependencies, part two at the
creativity of authorial agencies, and part three at the relationship between texts
and social practice. New Readings thus participates in the revaluation of late medieval
Arabic historiography as a critical field of inquiry. Contributors: Rasmus Bech Olsen,
Víctor de Castro León, Mohammad Gharaibeh, Kenneth A. Goudie, Christian Mauder, Evan
Metzger, Zacharie Mochtari de Pierrepont, Clément Onimus, Tarek Sabraa, Iria Santás
de Arcos, Gowaart Van Den Bossche, Koby Yosef"
