The relationship between the workings of memory and the formation
of culture is intriguingly close in the world of medieval Islam. In
this book, distinguished contributors explore broad-ranging themes
relating to memory, memorisation, memorialising or commemorating in
a variety of historical, legal, literary and architectural
contexts. Abbas Amanat, Irene Bierman, Elton Daniel, George
Makdisi, Andrew Newman, Roy Mottahedeh, Ismail K. Poonawala and
Paul E. Walker examine lists and maps as memory aids, the
transmission of knowledge and traditions from medieval to
early-modern times, the application of medieval notions of law and
statecraft and the commemoration of individuals, civilisations and
dynasties in historical and literary works, on coinage and in
monumental forms. This is a fascinatingly original perspective on a
topic which will engage scholars of Islamic history and sociology,
as well as cultural history and the history of ideas.
