Hagiography of the Muslim Mystic Ma Mingxin Wiqāyatullāh in Arabic Manuscripts of Chinese Origin

拟议的跨学科项目（阿拉伯语和汉语研究/Manhaptology）旨在提供有关阿拉伯文学的一个特定流派的知识，该流派是由主要植根于中国西北部的Naqshbandiyya Sufi教派的一个分支发展起来的，被称为al-Jahriyya。作为其创始人的简历，马明新Wiqāyatullah（d。1781年），位于中心的hagiographical作品的manāqib-流派，它将试图目前的方式的一个版本的19世纪末/20世纪初阿拉伯语文本的《耶路撒冷年鉴》（章1）[出版的传真手稿只]，和德语翻译的vita。由于传记传统也包括中文译本，这些版本，除了两个阿拉伯语或阿拉伯-波斯语的平行版本（Manāqib al-Jahriyya; Rasha Zahāt），也将被考虑在内;因此，传记将从多个角度进行研究。在这一点上，圣徒传作品被认为是文学作品，反映了秩序的信徒的自我形象，而不是（仅仅）代表历史的真实性。阿拉伯文文本中出现的语言缺陷有待编辑（K。将通过纳入中文译本予以补偿。平行的文本发展的审查承诺提供有关的知识，即。a.将所述第一作者的观点和他们的能力在阿拉伯语以及翻译策略所采用的中国年鉴学者。神秘的实践和对“他者”宗教的态度（主要是中国佛教），包括在主要科目的vita，是要审查-作为文本编辑和翻译的结果-鉴于功能的'典型'颂词文本，madujiagi和Mu jiagammas（包含先知穆罕默德的赞美），在礼拜仪式中背诵，以及暴力的合法化（圣战）。

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).
