In 1084/1685, at the age of roughly fifty-four, and after a long and distinguished career, this Amazigh scholar from the Middle Atlas began writing a collection of short essays on a wide variety of subjects. Completed three years later and gathered together under the title Discourses on Language and Literature (al-Muhadarat fi l-adab wa-l-lughah), they offer rich insight into the varied intellectual interests of an ambitious and gifted Moroccan scholar, covering subjects as diverse as genealogy, theology, Sufism, history, and social mores. In addition to representing the author’s intellectual interests, The Discourses also includes numerous autobiographical anecdotes, which offer valuable insight into the history of Morocco, including the transition from the Saadian to the Alaouite dynasty, which occurred during al-Yūsī’s lifetime. Translated into English for the first time, The Discourses offers readers access to the intellectual landscape of the early modern Muslim world through an author who speaks openly and frankly about his personal life and his relationships with his country’s rulers, scholars, and commoners.An English-only edition.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmAuthor: al-Ḥasan al-YūsīTranslator: Justin StearnsContributor: Justin Stearns (Translated by), Ayesha Ramachandran (Foreword by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: Library of Arabic LiteratureTopic: Literary CriticismItem Weight: 481gRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
