الفكاهة في الإسلام المبك
Franz Kurt W. Rosenthal
BRILL

sidottu
نظر أشعب إلى شيخٍ قبيح الوجه؛ فقال ألم ينهكم سُليمان بن داود عن أن تخرجوا بالنهار؟ إن الفكاهة عمليَّةٌ متعلقةٌ بالسرور والبهجة واكتشافهما وتذوقهما وإبداعهما. ويذهب الفلاسفة والأطباء اليونانيين إلى أن توازن السوائل في جسم الإنسان؛ يتحكم في الصحة والعواطف البشريَّة، ومنها الضحك. ولكن هل العرب أو المسلمون يضحكون؟ نُقدم للقارئ العربيّ الترجمة العربيَّة لكتاب فرانز روزنثال الموسوم بـ "الفكاهة في الإسلام المُبكر". تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تبديد الرأي، الذي يتبناه الكثير من الناس في العالم الغربيّ، أن "الإسلام" يكره الفُكَاهَة. يحتوي هذا الكتاب على قصصٍ عربيَّةٍ عن شخصيَّةٍ أصبحت موضوعًا للعديد من الفُكاهات والحكايات، وهي شخصيَّة أشعب الطماع، وهو مغنٍ عاش في القرن الثاني الهجري/الثامن الميلاديّ. ولكن حياته الأدبيَّة والخياليَّة ظلت موجودةً لفترةٍ طويلةٍ. وتسبق هذه الحكايات فصولٌ بحثيَّةٍ عن المواد النصيَّة الخاصة بالفكاهة في الإسلام، وأيضًا، عن الشخصيات التأريخيَّة والأسطوريَّة لأشعب. وينتهي الكتاب بملحقٍ قصيرٍ عن الضحك. وسواءً أكانت الفكاهات ستجعل القارئ المعاصر يضحك أم لا؛ فإن هذا الكتاب يُعد مصدرًا قيّمًا لأولئك المهتمين، جديًّا، بثقافة الفكاهة في الإسلام المُبكر. Ashʿab looked at a shaykh with an ugly face and exclaimed: "Did Sulaym n b. D w d not forbid you to come out by day?". Humor is a process related to pleasure and joy, discovering them, savoring them, and creating them. Greek philosophers and doctors believe that the balance of fluids in the human body; It controls health and human emotions, including laughter. But are Arabs or Muslims laughing? We present to the Arab reader the Arabic translation of Franz Rosenthal's book entitled "Humor in Early Islam." This study aims to dispel the opinion held by many people in the Western world that Islam hates humor. This book contains Arabic stories about a character who has become the subject of many jokes and tales, namely the greedy Ashʿab, a singer who lived in the second century A.H./eighth A.D. But his literary and imaginative life continued for a long time. These stories are preceded by research chapters on the textual materials related to humor in Islam, and also on the historical and legendary figures of Ashʿab. The book ends with a short appendix on laughter. Whether the humor will make the modern reader laugh or not; This book is a valuable resource for those seriously interested in the culture of humor in early Islam.

Lasting marriages don't just survive. They thrive. Long-married spouses discover how to not just live with each other, but to love each other in a way that can only be described as godly. They've come to understand that the joys of marriage often arrive because of its many challenges, not despite them. Marriage is a perfectly imperfect relationship that's hard, but worth it. After nearly forty years of marriage, Pastor Kurt Bubna knows that to be true. In three decades of leading churches, he's also witnessed the hopes, hurts, confusion, and frustration of hundreds of married couples trying to love each other well in a world that urges selfishness over sacrifice. Combining his church members' stories and his own "recovering idiot" experiences with insightful biblical knowledge, Pastor Kurt shares vital principles and practical advice that can help any marriage, in any stage, thrive for years on end.

The period leading up to the unification of the Romanian principalities is one of the most dynamic periods in modern Romanian history. It was a time of effervescence, which witnessed the birth of new ideas and the struggle between revolution and reaction. With the expansion of Russia in the Balkans, amidst the decline of the Ottoman Empire, the struggle against Russia in the Romanian principalities, supported by Anglo-Turkish diplomacy, took on international significance. Written by one of the leading specialists on Romanian history in the United States, The Struggle Against Russia in the Romanian Principalities is a significant contribution to nineteenth-century European diplomatic history.

The monasteries and painted churches of Moldavia stand today as a testament to the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the Romanian people. These monuments, unique in the world, reflect a cultural legacy inherited from Byzantium and the Roman Empire. After the fall of Byzantium and the expansion of Ottoman rule throughout the Balkan Peninsula, the Romanian principalities became the most important depository of the Byzantine heritage. It was here that this tradition was preserved, creating the historical phenomenon that the great Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga would refer to as “Byzantium after Byzantium.” The monasteries and painted churches of Northern Moldavia stand today as true Revelations of Byzantium. This full-color album is written and photographed by Alan Ogden, the author of Romania Revisited and Fortresses of Faith. The author provides a comprehensive introduction discussing the art and architecture before presenting each church separately in words and pictures to reveal its unique history and artistic beauty. Also included is an introduction to the history of Moldavia and Romanian lands during the Middle Ages by Kurt W. Treptow, a noted specialist on Romanian history, and original illustrations by renowned artist, Octavian Ion Penda.

The monasteries and painted churches of Moldavia stand today as a testament to the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of the Romanian people. As the Romanians living in the historical provinces of Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania, which today form modern Romania, struggled to maintain their autonomy against Ottoman expansion, their relative freedom allowed them to express themselves both artistically and culturally. Among their most remarkable creations are the monasteries and painted churches of Moldavia, in northeastern Romania, the subjects of this book. These monuments, unique in the world, reflect a cultural legacy inherited from Byzantium and the Roman Empire.After the fall of Byzantium and the expansion of Ottoman rule throughout the Balkan Peninsula, the Romanian principalities became the most important depository of the Byzantine heritage. It was here that this tradition was preserved, having been passed on to the Romanians of the Middle Ages by their ancestors. From here this heritage continued to spread throughout Europe and influence European society and culture, creating the historical phenomenon that the great Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga would refer to as "Byzantium after Byzantium." The monasteries and painted churches of Northern Moldavia stand today as true revelations of Byzantium.This full-color album is written and photographed by Alan Ogden, the author of Romania Revisited: On the Trail of English Travellers, 1602-1941 and Fortresses of Faith: A Pictorial History of the Fortified Saxon Churches of Romania, both published by the Center for Romanian Studies. The author provides a comprehensive introduction discussing the art and architecture of the monasteries and painted churches of Northern Moldavia. Each church is then presented separately in words and pictures to reveal its own unique history and artistic beauty.
