Abstract

Zechariah Aldāhirī's maqāma collection, Sefer hamusar (Yemen, c. 1580), is a literary work modeled on the Arabic Maqāmāt of al-Harīrī and the Hebrew Tahkemoni of Alharizi. Although largely fictional in nature, the work offers intriguing evidence of the transmission of kabbalistic thought to Yemen in the sixteenth century. This paper argues that Aldāhirī exploited the text's lighthearted belletristic framework to bring kabbalistic theosophy, literature, and liturgical customs to the attention of a largely uninitiated public in Yemen. But Aldāhirī also conveys an ambivalence towards his project when he parodies the new taste for kabbalistic learning by embedding mystical ideas in complex narratives.
文学钥匙中的卡巴拉:撒迦利亚Aldāhirī的Sefer hamusar的神秘主题
撒迦利亚Aldāhirī的maqāma合集《Sefer hamusar》(也门,约1580年)是一部仿照阿拉伯文《al- harurr》Maqāmāt和希伯来文《Alharizi》Tahkemoni的文学作品。虽然在很大程度上是虚构的,但这部作品提供了16世纪卡巴拉思想传入也门的有趣证据。本文认为Aldāhirī利用了文本轻松愉快的文学框架,将卡巴拉的神智,文学和礼仪习俗带到也门大部分未受启蒙的公众的注意。但是Aldāhirī也表达了对他的项目的矛盾心理,当他通过在复杂的叙事中嵌入神秘的想法来模仿卡巴拉学习的新口味时。
