Brill Picturing the Islamicate World: The Story of al-Iṣṭakhrī’s Book of Routes and Realms
Book SynopsisIn Picturing the Islamicate World, Nadja Danilenko explores the message of the first preserved maps from the Islamicate world. Safeguarded in al-Iṣṭakhrī’s Book of Routes and Realms (10th century C.E.), the world map and twenty regional maps complement the text to a reference book of the territories under Muslim rule. Rather than shaping the Islamicate world according to political or religious concerns, al-Iṣṭakhrī chose a timeless design intended to outlast upheavals. Considering the treatise was transmitted for almost a millennium, al-Iṣṭakhrī’s strategy seems to have paid off. By investigating the Persian and Ottoman translations and all extant manuscripts, Nadja Danilenko unravels the manuscript tradition of al-Iṣṭakhrī’s work, revealing who took an interest in it and why.Trade Review"Par une analyse essentiellement codicologique des manuscrits, N. D. propose un nouvel éclairage sur la postérité d’une œuvre géographique qui met l’accent sur la continuité culturelle d’un monde islamique fragmenté, audelà des bouleversements politiques et dynastique...Nadja Danilenko nous propose ainsi une plongée passionnante dans l’histoire des manuscrits islamiques en arabe, persan et turc du Livre des Routes et des Royaumes. L’attention portée au texte et aux cartes, mais aussi à la matérialité desmanuscrits (reliure, marques de possession, sceaux, notes marginales), en fait un bel exemple d’étude codicologique menée sur plus de mille ans d’histoire." - Emmanuelle Vagnon-Chureau CNRS - LaMOP (UMR 8589, Université de Paris I), in: Bulletin critique des Annales islamologiques No 36 (2022)
