Abstract: This study reviews the work titled Alfiyya by Zayn al-Dīn al-ʽIrāqī, a Mamluk scholar from the fourteenth century, in the context of the centuries-old hadith intellectual tradition. It is divided into several sections dealing with the socio-historical context in which the Alfiyya appeared, the canonical text Muqaddima which preceded it, and also the intellectual trends which contributed to its popularization in subsequent centuries. A close reading of selected sections of Alfiyya attempts to show that its author was dedicated to the preservation of knowledge, but also to its adaptation to new readers and their tastes by changing its form and gradually reshaping its content. Finally, the study underscores the significance of the appearance of different copies of Alfiyya in the Ottoman Bosnian context. |
