Zusammenfassung: | Accounts of remarkable women at the world's most powerful court Consorts of the Caliphs is a seventh/thirteenth-century compilation ofanecdotes about thirty-eight women who were consorts to those in power, most ofthem concubines of the early Abbasid caliphs and wives of latter-day caliphsand sultans. This slim but illuminating volume is one of the few survivingtexts by the prolific Baghdadi scholar Ibn al-Sa'i,who chronicled the academic and political elites of his city in the final yearsof the Abbasid dynasty and the period following the cataclysmic Mongol invasionof 656 H/1258 AD.In this work, Ibn al-Sa'i is keen toforge a connection between the munificent wives of his time and the storiedlovers of the so-called golden age of Baghdad. Thus, from the earlier period,we find Harun al-Rashid pining for his brother’s beautiful slave, Ghadir, andthe artistry of such musical and literary celebrities as Arib and Fadl, whobested the male poets and singers of their day. From times closer to Ibn al-Sa?i’s own, wemeet women such as Banafsha, who endowed law colleges, had bridges built, andprovisioned pilgrims bound for Mecca; slave women whose funeral services wereled by caliphs; and noble Saljuq princesses from Afghanistan.Informed by the author’s own sources, hisinsider knowledge, and well-known literary materials, these singularbiographical sketches bring the belletristic culture of the Baghdad court to life,particularly in the personal narratives and poetry of culture heroinesotherwise lost to history |

Jun 2020) Accounts of remarkable women at the world's most powerful court Consorts of the Caliphs is a seventh/thirteenth-century compilation ofanecdotes about thirty-eight women who were consorts to those in power, most ofthem concubines of the early Abbasid caliphs and wives of latter-day caliphsand sultans. This slim but illuminating volume is one of the few survivingtexts by the prolific Baghdadi scholar Ibn al-Sa'i,who chronicled the academic and political elites of his city in the final yearsof the Abbasid dynasty and the period following the cataclysmic Mongol invasionof 656 H/1258 AD.In this work, Ibn al-Sa'i is keen toforge a connection between the munificent wives of his time and the storiedlovers of the so-called golden age of Baghdad. Thus, from the earlier period,we find Harun al-Rashid pining for his brother’s beautiful slave, Ghadir, andthe artistry of such musical and literary celebrities as Arib and Fadl, whobested the male poets and singers of their day. From times closer to Ibn al-Sa?i’s own, wemeet women such as Banafsha, who endowed law colleges, had bridges built, andprovisioned pilgrims bound for Mecca; slave women whose funeral services wereled by caliphs; and noble Saljuq princesses from Afghanistan.Informed by the author’s own sources, hisinsider knowledge, and well-known literary materials, these singularbiographical sketches bring the belletristic culture of the Baghdad court to life,particularly in the personal narratives and poetry of culture heroinesotherwise lost to history In English Geschichte 750-1258 gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / Middle East / General bisacsh Abbasids Early works to 1800 Islamic Empire Early works to 1800 History 750-1258 Islamic Empire History 750-1258 Early works to 1800 Queens Early works to 1800 Anecdotes Islamic Empire Queens Islamic Empire Anecdotes Early works to 1800 Women Early works to 1800 Anecdotes Islamic Empire Women Islamic Empire Anecdotes Early works to 1800 Arabisch (DE-588)4241223-7 gnd rswk-swf Quelle (DE-588)4135952-5 gnd rswk-swf Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Abbasidenreich (DE-588)4221900-0 gnd rswk-swf Kalifenreich (DE-588)4162465-8 gnd rswk-swf Kalifenreich (DE-588)4162465-8 g Arabisch (DE-588)4241223-7 s Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 s Geschichte 750-1258 z Quelle (DE-588)4135952-5 s 1\p DE-604 Abbasidenreich (DE-588)4221900-0 g 2\p DE-604 Bray, Julia Sonstige oth Literature, The Editors of the Library of Arabic Sonstige oth Toorawa, Shawkat M. edt Warner, Marina Sonstige oth https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781479836574 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers 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 |
