Shii News – Academic Items
1. CFP – Ceramics from Islamic Lands, Spring/Summer 2021
Dear colleagues,
As you have probably guessed, the conference Ceramics from Islamic Lands will not be happening at the V&A in a month’s time, as originally planned.
We had hoped by this point to have a firm alternative plan, but as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to rage, with new lockdowns being imposed across Europe, everyone’s plans are continually being revised.
We still very much hope to be able to hold the conference in person at the V&A, at some point in spring to early summer 2021. If in the end this proves impossible, we will hold the conference online.
If you are interested in participating, but have not yet sent us your paper proposal, there is still time to do so – but we would now like to set a deadline of 31st December 2020 for receiving these.
Please send abstracts of 250 words to ceramicsfromislamiclands@gmail.com.
Please feel free to contact us on the conference email address if you have any other queries.
If you have contacted us, but have not received a reply, we apologise: your submission has been noted, and we aim to respond soon.
Thank you for your continued patience, and stay well,
Mariam

8. The British Library:
Muhammad Najib Khan, a Sufi soldier in 18th century southern India
‘In recent months I’ve been working on manuscripts in the British Library which formed part of Tipu Sultan’s library and were acquired by the East India Company after the fall of Seringapatam in 1799. The history of how this part of the collection came to London has been recently described by Joshua Ehrlich (Plunder and prestige) and in several blogs by myself (notably Revisiting the provenance of the Sindbadnamah). The collection itself, however, was made up of many smaller collections, acquired mostly by conquest, and it is on one of these that I will focus today, namely the collection of the Sufi Muhammad Najib Khan Shahid (‘martyr’), an official of Anvar al-Din Khan, Nawab of the Carnatic from 1744 to 1749. While the apparent contradiction between the spiritual and military roles of courtly life has long been acknowledged, it is reinforced by the identification I propose here of Muhammad Najib the political adviser with our Sufi author and collector, an identification which is underlined by a shared Chishti affiliation and high status, further evidenced by the acquisition details of Muhammad Najib’s own collection.’

11. Al-Maqrīzī’s al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar. Vol. V, Section 6: The Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and Goths. Critical edition, annotated translation and introduction by Mayte Penelas. Leiden and Boston: Brill, November 2020 (Bibliotheca Maqriziana, vol. 7), x-434 pp. ISBN: 978-90-04-41324-5 (e-book); 978-90-04-41289-7 (hardback).
This volume contains the edition and translation of the chapter of al-Maqrīzī’s al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar dealing with Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and Goths. This chapter is, for the most part, an almost exact reproduction of Ibn Ḫaldūn’s Kitāb al-ʿIbar, from which al-Maqrīzī derived material from many other sources, including prominent Christian sources such as Kitāb Hurūšiyūš, Ibn al-ʿAmīd’s History, and works by Muslim historians like Ibn al-Aṯīr’s Kāmil. Therefore, this chapter of al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar is a continuation of the previous Arabic historiographical tradition, in which European history is integrated into world history through the combination of Christian and Islamic sources.

Shii News – ‘The Revival of Twelver Shi’i Tafsīr’ (25.11.20) – M. Terrier
The Revival of Twelver Shi’i Tafsīr in Early Modern and Modern Times: Three Case Studies | The Institute of Ismaili Studies
According to the doctrine of early Imami Shi’ism, the authority to interpret the of the Qur’an belongs exclusively to ʿAlī and his descendants, the Imams. Consequently, most Tafsīrs written in Twelver Imami circles after the Occultation of the twelfth Imam are essentially comprised of traditions attributed to the Imams. Yet, an impressive revival of the Imami Tafsīr can be observed in the Ilkhanid period, and even more so during the Safavid era in Iran, in the context of interfacing between Imami Shi’ism, Sufism and philosophy.
