While Nöldeke’s student Siegmund Fraenkel had previously studied Aramaic loanwords in literary Arabic and Joseph Hubeika had studied some aspects of the Aramaic substratum in Syrian and Lebanese dialects of Arabic, the present work by Michel Feghali, his doctoral dissertation, is the first larger scale investigation of Syriac loans in Arabic dialects, in this case, those of Lebanon. In these dialects are many words and expressions that do not occur in classical Arabic, and so there is an abundance of new material to work through from the point of view of contact linguistics. Feghali categorizes these “loans” more accurately as “survivals”. His prefatory material covers relevant geographical and historical information relating to Lebanon, its linguistic history, different dialects of Syriac and its disappearance from Lebanon, etc. In the main part of the book he covers phonological, morphological, and syntactical differences and similarities between Syriac and Lebanese Arabic dialects. The book concludes with an appendix listing words in these dialects of Syriac origin from the spheres of religion, the home, and agriculture. This book will be of definite interest to scholars of Syriac and Arabic, but also to linguists in general, especially those who work on language contact.

Iran as Imagined Nation

A critical study of how Iranian nationalism, itself largely influenced by Orientalist scholarship first undertaken by the European Orientalists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, has shaped modern conceptions of Iran and Iranian identity, as well as narratives of Iranian history, leading to the adoption of a broad nationalist construction of identity to suit Iranian political and ideological circumstances. This book argues that such a broad-brushed approach and the term “Iranian” could not have applied to the large multiethnic, multilingual, and multicultural populations in the vast territory of Iran over so many distinct historical periods.

Reconstruction of a Source of Ibn Isḥāq’s Life of the Prophet and Early Qurʾān Exegesis

This important work is a source-critical study of a group of traditions (aḥādīth) found in Ibn Isḥāq's Biography (Sīra) of the prophet Muḥammad, widely considered one of the most important early historical texts on the Prophet's life. Through a meticulous isnād-cum-matn analysis, the author reveals that Ibn Isḥāq relied on Muḥammad b. Abī Muḥammad, a hitherto undocumented source of his. Important new light is also shed on problems with Ibn Hishām’s recension of Ibn Isḥāq’s Sīra.
