Abstract

Abstract Museum Cuficum Borgianum (Rome 1782) is one of Jacob Georg Christian Adler’s works which traditionally mark the birth of Arabic palaeography. Almost a century ago the Russian Arabist Ignatij Kratchovsky considered Arabic palaeography an indispensable branch of knowledge that needed to be acquired. In 2023, however, Arabic palaeography is a discipline at risk. Rarely included in Oriental studies programs, Arabic palaeography is often confused with calligraphy and is absorbed into other fields relating to the study of artefacts, whilst being a philology-based discipline with a historical vocation. This contribution seeks to stress the value of Arabic palaeography as an essential discipline in the curriculum of students and (future) researchers and its potentials to enlarge and deepen historical and art historical research.

捍卫阿拉伯古代学

博物馆库菲库姆博尔吉亚努姆(罗马1782年)是雅各布·乔治·克里斯蒂安·阿德勒的作品之一，传统上标志着阿拉伯古文学的诞生。大约一个世纪以前，俄罗斯阿拉伯学家Ignatij Kratchovsky认为阿拉伯语古代学是一门不可或缺的知识分支，需要学习。然而，在2023年，阿拉伯古文学是一门面临风险的学科。很少包括在东方研究项目中，阿拉伯古文字学经常与书法混淆，并被吸收到与人工制品研究有关的其他领域，同时作为一门以文献学为基础的学科，具有历史使命。这篇文章旨在强调阿拉伯古代学作为学生和(未来)研究人员课程中的一门基本学科的价值，以及它扩大和深化历史和艺术史研究的潜力。
