The proposed inter-disciplinary project (Arabic and Chinese studies / Manuscriptology) aims at providing knowledge about one specific genre of Arabic literature that was developed by a branch of the Naqshbandiyya Sufi order mainly rooted in Northwest China and known by the name of al-Jahriyya. As the vita of its founder, Ma Mingxin Wiqāyatullāh (d. 1781), is situated at the center of the hagiographical works of the manāqib-genre it will be attempted to present the vita by way of an edition of the late nineteenth / early twentieth century Arabic text of Kitāb al-Jahrī (ch. 1) [published as a facsimile of the manuscript only], and of a German-language translation. Since the biographical tradition includes Chinese translations as well, these versions, besides two Arabic or Arabic-Persian parallels (Manāqib al-Jahriyya; Rashaḥāt), will also be taken into account; as a result, the biography will be studied from multiple perspectives. In this, the hagiographical works are conceived as literary productions that reflect the self-image of the adherents of the order rather than (merely) representing historical factuality. The shortcomings of language as appears in the Arabic text to be edited (K. al-Jahrī) will be compensated through the inclusion of the Chinese translation(s). The examination of parallel textual developments promises to furnish knowledge relating, i. a., to the authors’ perspectives and their competency in the Arabic language as well as to the translation strategies employed by Chinese Jahrī scholars. Both the mystic praxis and the attitudes toward the religion of the ‘other’ (mainly Chinese Buddhism), included among the major subjects of the vita, are to be examined – as a result of text edition and translation - with a view to the function of the ‘canonical’ panegyric texts, Madāʾiḥ and Muḫammas (containing praises of Prophet Muḥammad), that are recited in the liturgy, as well as to the legitimization of violence (jihād).

拟议的跨学科项目(阿拉伯和中国研究/手稿学)旨在提供关于一种特定阿拉伯文学流派的知识，该流派是苏菲派苏菲派的一个分支发展起来的，主要植根于西北部的中国，名为al-Jahriyya。作为它的创始人，马明新wiqāyatullāh(卒于1781年)，是位于在男子āqib流派圣徒传记作品的中心，它将试图通过一个版本的十九世纪末/二十世纪初阿拉伯文本āb al-jahrī(ch。1)[仅作为手稿的传真件出版]，以及德文译文。由于传记传统也包括中文翻译，这些版本，除了两个阿拉伯语或阿拉伯-波斯相似之处(manāqib al-jahriyya；rashaḥāt)，也将被考虑在内；因此，将从多个角度研究这本传记。在这一点上，圣徒传记作品被认为是反映秩序追随者自我形象的文学作品，而不是(仅仅)代表历史事实。要编辑的阿拉伯文本(K.al-Jahrī)中出现的语言缺陷将通过增加中文译本(S)来弥补。对平行文本发展的考察有望提供与作者的观点和他们的阿拉伯语能力以及中国Jahrī学者所采用的翻译策略有关的知识。神秘的实践和他者(主要是中国佛教)对宗教的态度，都被包括在VITA的主要主题中，作为文本编辑和翻译的结果，将被检查，以期在礼拜仪式中朗诵的“规范”教义文本，MadāʾIḥ和Muḫamma(包含对先知Muḥammad的赞颂)的作用，以及暴力的合法化(Jihād)。
