Abstract

The article is written in the framework of provenance research and focuses on the special, mostly precarious situation of Ismaili manuscripts. It sheds light on the history of a group of 42 Ismaili manuscripts, some of them stolen from the famous Hamdani Collection in Surat/Gujarat, India, and the circumstances of their acquisition by the University Library Tübingen between 1970 and 1972. When the manuscripts were acquired, the true origins and disposition of these manuscripts were still completely shrouded in darkness. More than fifty years after these events, I would like to put some pieces of the mosaic together and follow the history of the displaced manuscripts from their place of origin in Surat via Beirut to their final destination, Tübingen. My sources are: Archival material from Tübingen University Archive, dispersed documents, oral and written accounts of contemporary witnesses, further informants—and last not least, the manuscripts themselves.

图宾根大学图书馆藏伊斯玛仪手稿:来源调查
文章在出处研究的框架内撰写,重点关注伊斯玛仪教派手稿的特殊情况,大多岌岌可危。文章揭示了一组 42 份伊斯玛仪派手稿的历史,其中一些手稿是从印度苏拉特/古吉拉特著名的哈姆达尼收藏馆失窃的,以及图宾根大学图书馆在 1970 年至 1972 年间收购这些手稿的情况。在收购这些手稿时,这些手稿的真实来源和处置情况仍完全被蒙在鼓里。在这些事件发生五十多年后,我想将马赛克拼图中的一些碎片拼凑起来,追溯这些流离失所的手稿从其原产地苏拉特经贝鲁特到最终目的地图宾根的历史。我的资料来源如下我的资料来源包括:图宾根大学档案馆的档案资料、分散的文件、当代目击者的口头和书面陈述、其他信息来源,最后还有手稿本身。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts (JIM) explores the crucial importance of the handwritten book in the Muslim world. It is concerned with the written transmission of knowledge, the numerous varieties of Islamic book culture and the materials and techniques of bookmaking, namely codicology. It also considers activities related to the care and management of Islamic manuscript collections, including cataloguing, conservation and digitization. It is the Journal’s ambition to provide students and scholars, librarians and collectors – in short, everyone who is interested in Islamic manuscripts – with a professional journal and functional platform of their own. It welcomes contributions in English, French and Arabic on codicology, textual studies, manuscript collections and collection care and management. Papers will be peer-reviewed to maintain a high scholarly level. The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts is published on behalf of the Islamic Manuscript Association Limited, an international non-profit organization dedicated to protecting Islamic manuscripts and supporting those who work with them.
