Omschrijving
K. al-Manām by Ibn Abī al-Dunyā (d. 281/894) is a compendium of 350 Muslim dream narratives in Arabic. The English introduction examines the function of dreams in classical Arabic literature with a focus on dreams as a means of edification.
'L'importance de l'ouvrage est [...] considérable car Ibn Abī al-Dunyā y transmet des traditions visiblement bien plus anciennes que le moment de la rédaction. Bref, la lecture du Kitab al-Manām suscite des questionnements multiples et profonds, et il est heureux que l'accès à son texte puisse se faire par un travail aussi soigné, érudit et passionné que celui de Leah Kinberg.' Pierre Lory.
