This volume provides a thorough analysis of the “Origins”; “Transmissions”; “Metamorphoses” of the Islamicate notion of Adab through a variety of multidisciplinary up-to-date research perspectives, from the Middle Ages up to the Modern era.

The notion of adab is at the very heart of the Islamicate cultures. Born in the crucible of the Arabic and Persian civilisations of the Late Antiquity period, nourished by Greek, Syriac and Indian influences, this polysemic notion could cover a variegated range of meanings, ranging from good behaviour, good manners, etiquette, proper knowledge of the rules, to belles-lettres, and finally, literature. This volume addresses the notion of adab through four perspectives, which correspond to the four parts into which it is divided: “Origins”; “Transmissions”; “Metamorphosis” of the “Origins” and finally “Origins” through the lens of modernity.

Francesca Bellino, Ph.D. (Firenze, 2005) is an Associate Professor of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Naples L’Orientale. Her field of research concerns pre-modern Arabic literature and she has worked in particular on popular literature, encyclopedism, and adab literature. Catherine Mayeur-Jaouen is Professor of Modern History at Sorbonne Université (Paris). She works on religious and cultural history of Early Modern and Modern Egypt. Her most recent edited book is: Adab and Modernity. A “Civilising Process” ? (Sixteenth-Twenty-first Century), Leiden, Brill, 2019. Luca Patrizi is a Lecturer in Islamic Studies at the University of Turin. He has been a Research Fellow at the Universities of Geneva, Sorbonne-Paris, Bonn and Exeter. His interests in Islamic studies focus on theological and ethical issues and on the doctrines and practices of Islamic esotericism.
