Présentation du jour :

Shamil Shikhaliev (Institute of History, Makhachkala & University of Amsterdam):

Muslim Hagiographic Experiences in the Former Soviet Realm:

9) Islamic Manuscripts from Private Collections and Muslim Subjectivity

International studies of manuscripts from the world of Islam pertain of different approaches including palaeography, the study of distinct genres and the analysis of works by individual authors or groups of authors. Often, these approaches focus on the manuscript works, their authors or the intellectual history of a particular area. Statistical analysis of the genre diversity of private manuscript collections shows the peculiarities of the formation of collections through the prism of the subjectivity of their owners. The different genre composition of manuscript collections is due to the influence of different ideological schools, currents, changes and perceptions of new educational institutions and ideas on an individual, which ultimately affects the formation of her or his own collection. Based on a statistical analysis of the repertoire of several private manuscript collections in Dagestan, the presentation will describe the peculiarities of the subjectivity of owners in forming their own manuscript collections – with special interest in the impact of modern-day hagiographic experiences in the process of collection itself.
