Abstract

The Oral and the Written: A Study on the Sources of al-Tha ālibī in his Yatīmat al-Dahr and Tatimmat al-YatīmaThis paper surveys the written, oral, and aural sources of two major anthologies, the Yatīmat al-Dahr fī Maḥāsin Ahl al- Aṣr and its sequel the Tatimmat al-Yatīma of Abū Manṣūr alThaʿālibī, which deal exclusively with contemporary literature based on geographical regions. The paper uncovers a network of littérateurs, active in the second half of the fourth/tenth century, who constituted the major authorities for both works. The survey of the sources in the Yatīma and the Tatimma strongly evinces a return to oral transmission, necessitated by the newness of the information that had yet to be recorded in books. The survey also reveals the use of complementary transmissions through dīwāns, books, and other written materials. This distribution of sources is not uniform throughout the aqsām of the Yatīma and the Tatimma

Abstract

Şifahi ve Yazılı: e - e ālibī’nin Yetīmetu’d-Dehr ve Tetimmetu’l-Yetīme’sinde Kullandığı Kaynaklar Üzerine Bir Çalışma Bu makale, Ebū Manṣūr e - e ālibī’nin telif ettiği Yetīmetu’d-Dehr fī Maḥāsini Ehli’l- Aṣr ve onun zeyli Tetimmetu’l-Yetīme adlı iki temel antolojinin yazılı, şifahi ve işitsel kaynaklarını incelemektedir. Bu iki eser, müellifin çağındaki literatürü coğrafi bölgeler açısından ele almaktadır. Makale, 4/10. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında aktif olan ve her iki eser için başlıca otoriteleri teşkil eden bir edibler (udebā’) ağını açığa çıkarmaktadır. Yetīme ve Tetimme’deki kaynakların incelenmesi, şifahi aktarıma geri dönüşün olduğunu ve henüz kitaplarda kayıt altına alınmamış bilgilerin bunu zorunlu kıldığını tesbit etmektedir. Buna ilave olarak, makale e - e ālibī’nin haberlerin aktarımında divanlar, kitaplar ve diğer yazılı materyallerin
