Abstract

In medieval Arabic literature a taqr³§ is a written endorsement of a certain text, which a prestigious scholar provides at the request of another scholar to support the latter’s new writing. In this sense it can be compared to the contemporary “blurb”, to advertise a new book. The taqr³§ is important because it connects and offers insights into active networks of like-minded scholars. Unfortunately this topic is still insufficiently studied and the present paper aims to make a contribution to this subject. The research examines an original taqr³§ from the nineteenth century which a scholar in Batavia obtained from his former teacher in Mecca. The paper shows that the taqr³§ is also in existence in more modern times and even beyond the Arab world.

Abstract

In medieval Arabic literature, a taqrīẓ is a written endorsement of a certain text, provided by a prestigious scholar at the request of another scholar to support the latter’s new writing. In this sense, it can be likened to the contemporary "blurb," serving to advertise a new book. The taqrīẓ holds significance as it facilitates connections and provides insights into active networks of like-minded scholars. However, this topic remains insufficiently explored, and the present paper seeks to contribute to its understanding. The research delves into an original taqrīẓ from the nineteenth century, obtained by a scholar in Batavia from his former teacher in Mecca. The paper reveals that the tradition of taqrīẓ persists into more modern times and extends beyond the Arab world.

Abstract

The term Islam Nusantara has been in circulation for a long time, but recently its use has gained a new significance after the 2015 Nahdlatul Ulama Congress in Jombang. Understanding of the term Islam Nusantara differs, but a common feature in all interpretations is the opinion that it is a blend of universal Islamic notions and specific regional cultural elementswith specific Indonesian characteristics, like tolerance, peacefulness and moderation.In the history of Islam in Indonesia different appreciations of Arabic as a language of Islam Nusantara exist. In this paper I want to go into the role of Arabic in Islam in Indonesia and I will argue that for a proper assessment of position of Arabic within the concept of Islam Nusantara an Arabic Literature of Indonesia should be produced.
