Wolfhart Heinrichsʼ Essays and Articles on Arabic Literature - Authors, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence

Wolfhart Heinrichs’ Essays and Articles on Arabic Literature: Authors, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence is the second of two volumes which showcase a great number of Heinrichs’ writings on Arabic literature, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence. Wolfhart Heinrichs (1941-2014) was James Richard Jewett Professor of Arabic at Harvard University. He is remembered as a significant adviser to Fuat Sezginʼs fundamental Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums, and as an editor of and contributor to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second edition, and, most importantly, as an author of many independent studies on Arabic literature, many of them ground-breaking in the history of Arabic philology. He is also known for his studies on Semitic Linguistics and Islamic Jurisprudence. This volume collects relevant bibliographical data, offers an introductory essay on the author by his distinguished student, Michael Cooperson (UCLA), and then presents reprints of his articles and essays. These include the remainder of Heinrichsʼ contributions to Arabic literature, dealing with a number of classical Arabic authors, to Semitic Studies in general (among them Aramaic and Neo-Aramaic), and to Rhetoric as used in Islamic Jurisprudence and in the game of scholarly debate (jadal). An index of classical authors, book-titles, and technical terms concludes the volume. This volume and its companion will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of Arabic Literature, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence.
