The Mantle Odes – Arabic Praise Poems to the Prophet Muhammad de Suzanne Pinckne Stetkevych

The Mantle Odes – Arabic Praise Poems to the Prophet Muhammad

Autor Suzanne Pinckne Stetkevych
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 iun 2010
Three of the most renowned praise poems to the Prophet, the mantle odes span the arc of Islamic history from Muhammad's lifetime, to the medieval Mamluk period, to the modern colonial era. Over the centuries, they have informed the poetic and religious life of the Arab and Islamic worlds. Suzanne Pinckney Stetkevych places her original translations of the poems within the odes' broader cultural context. By highlighting their transformative power as speech acts and their ritual function as gift exchanges, this book not only demonstrates the relevance of these poems to contemporary scholarship but also reveals their power and beauty to the modern reader.
