Abstract

Starting from early Arabic sources, the absolute pitch of the Early Abbasid ʿūd is considered and related to evidence on pitch usage in Roman-period sources. Similar instruments, it is argued, must have existed already in late antiquity. Iconographic evidence takes us back to late Classical Greece, whose music would have provided especially fertile ground for designing such a lute. In contrast to the traditional tuning in fifths and fourths throughout, lutes with equidistant design had also existed for a long time, likely also on precursors of the ʿūd. The association of this style with the name of Manṣūr Zalzal must therefore be reassessed.

Al- tah ūd, pípá，琵琶:古希腊人对其史前史的看法

从早期的阿拉伯语来源开始，早期阿巴斯王朝的绝对音高被认为与罗马时期的音高使用证据有关。有人认为，类似的文书在古代晚期就已经存在了。图像学的证据将我们带回了古典希腊晚期，那里的音乐为设计这样的琵琶提供了特别肥沃的土壤。与传统的五分之一和四分之一的调音相反，具有等距设计的木琴也存在了很长一段时间，很可能也是在ʿ́d的前身上。这种风格与人的名字的联系ṣ因此，必须重新评估瓦尔·扎尔扎尔。

期刊介绍： Oriens is dedicated to extending our knowledge of intellectual history and developments in the rationalist disciplines in Islamic civilization, with a special emphasis on philosophy, theology, and science. These disciplines had a profoundly rich and lasting life in Islamic civilization and often interacted in complex ways--from the period of their introduction to Islamic civilization in the translation movement that began in the eighth century, through the early and classical periods of development, to the post-classical age, when they shaped even such disciplines as legal theory and poetics. The journal''s range extends from the early and classical to the early modern periods (ca. 700-1900 CE) and it engages all regions and languages of Islamic civilization. In the tradition of Hellmut Ritter, who founded Oriens in 1948, the central focus of interest of the journal is on the medieval and early modern periods of the Near and Middle East. Within this framework, the opening up of the sources and the pursuit of philological and historical research based on original source material is the main concern of its editors and contributors. In addition to individual articles, Oriens welcomes proposals for thematic volumes within the series.
