Bori, Caterina - Holtzman, Livnat, "Introduction: A scholar in the shadow", dins: Bori, Caterina - Holtzman, Livnat (eds.), A Scholar in the Shadow: Essays in the Legal and Theological Thought of Ibn Qayyim al-Ǧawziyyah, Roma, Istituto per l'Oriente - Nallino (Oriente Moderno, 90), 2010, pp. 13-44.

Resum

The title of this special issue of Oriente Moderno describes Ibn Qayyim (d. 751/1350), one of the most read premodern Muslim thinkers today, as ‘a scholar in the shadow', a reference to the neglect he has suffered in Western scholarship relative to his famous teacher, Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328). The overall purpose of the volume, therefore, is to examine Ibn Qayyim as a thinker in his own right, not merely as the helpful simplifier of complex Taymiyyan thought. The volume opens with an extensive introduction by the editors (‘A Scholar in the Shadow', pp. 13–44), which includes a very useful biographical sketch of Ibn Qayyim. The ten articles that follow (two in French, eight in English) have been grouped into three sections: ‘Society and Law', ‘God and Man', and ‘Body and Soul'.
