The volume begins with a general discussion of the concept of encyclopaedia. Successive chapters explore the bases of authority in the institutions of religion and law; biographical literature and handbooks of law; compendia of scientific and philosophical learning based on Iranian and Greek sources; and the more specialised expositions of mathematics and philosophy. The special character of Muslim institutions, their teaching traditions and syllabi is also put into perspective. This is a reference work for the principal genres of 'enyclopaedic' outlines and manuals - biography, legal handbooks, historiography of knowledge transmission, cosmography, and the philosophical sciences - and a major contribution to the literary and intellectual history of scholarly writing in the pre-modern Islamic world |

The volume begins with a general discussion of the concept of encyclopaedia. Successive chapters explore the bases of authority in the institutions of religion and law; biographical literature and handbooks of law; compendia of scientific and philosophical learning based on Iranian and Greek sources; and the more specialised expositions of mathematics and philosophy. The special character of Muslim institutions, their teaching traditions and syllabi is also put into perspective. This is a reference work for the principal genres of 'enyclopaedic' outlines and manuals - biography, legal handbooks, historiography of knowledge transmission, cosmography, and the philosophical sciences - and a major contribution to the literary and intellectual history of scholarly writing in the pre-modern Islamic world Geschichte 1200-1700 gnd rswk-swf FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDY / General bisacsh Encyclopedieën gtt Kennis gtt Encyclopedias and dictionaries, Arabic fast Islamic learning and scholarship fast Geschichte Encyclopedias and dictionaries, Arabic History and criticism Islamic learning and scholarship History Enzyklopädie (DE-588)4014986-9 gnd rswk-swf Arabisch (DE-588)4241223-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)1071861417 Konferenzschrift 14.11.2003-16.11.2003 London gnd-content Arabisch (DE-588)4241223-7 s Enzyklopädie (DE-588)4014986-9 s Geschichte 1200-1700 z 2\p DE-604 Endreß, Gerhard 1939- (DE-588)115696954 edt Filali-Ansary, Abdou 1946- (DE-588)1024594661 edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 90-04-14697-0 Islamic philosophy, theology, and science 61 (DE-604)BV004308603 61 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=232440 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
