Obiettivo "The very important topic of the transmission of the Greco-Roman knowledge to the medieval Islamic world has a veryinteresting appendix concerning historiography. Indeed, scholars have questioned several times about the reasons for theapparent Islamic lack of interest towards the western historical works, and formulated on this problem several assumptions.For example, according to Franz Rosenthal, the Greek and Roman literature, impregnated as it was of polytheism, wouldhave been suspect in the eyes of Muslim theologians (the scientific texts, indeed, didn’t arouse objections), which wouldhave limited its diffusion and translation. According to Bernard Lewis, everything should instead be attributed to the absolutelack of intellectual curiosity of the “Muslim man”, resulting from its profound conviction of “finality, completeness, andessential self-sufficiency of his civilisation”.In my book Storie Arabe di Greci e di Romani, released in 2009 (http://www.edizioniplus.it/italiano/AspFiles/libro.asp?codlibro=559), I tried to fill a gap in the field of studies on the forms of preservation of the Greek and Romanhistoriographical tradition in the Islamic culture. Now, I would like to concentrate my attention on a very important Arabichistorical text, the Arabic translation of the Historiae adversus paganos by the Latin historiographer Paulus Orosius (5thcentury AD), known as Kitāb Hurušiyuš and survived through a unique manuscript preserved in the ""Rare Book andManuscript Library"" of Columbia University (X, 893-712 H). This translation, made at the caliphal court of Cordoba in the10th century AD, left a deep mark on Western Islamic historiography, coming to constitute for many Arab intellectuals aunique and fundamental access door to the Graeco-Roman world and to the ancient history of Europa.Therefore, my project is to prepare a complete English translation of the Kitāb Hurūšiyūš, accompanied by a broadintroduction, a philological and historical commentar" Campo scientifico humanitieshistory and archaeologyhistoryancient historyhumanitiesphilosophy, ethics and religionreligionsislammuslim culture Programma(i) H2020-EU.1.3. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Main Programme H2020-EU.1.3.2. - Nurturing excellence by means of cross-border and cross-sector mobility Argomento(i) MSCA-IF-2017 - Individual Fellowships Invito a presentare proposte H2020-MSCA-IF-2017 Vedi altri progetti per questo bando Meccanismo di finanziamento MSCA-IF-GF - Global Fellowships Coordinatore UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI ROMA LA SAPIENZA Contribution nette de l'UE € 247 761,00 Indirizzo Piazzale Aldo Moro 5 00185 Roma Italia Mostra sulla mappa Regione Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Partecipazione a programmi di R&I dell'UE Opens in new window Rete di collaborazione HORIZON Opens in new window Costo totale € 247 761,00 Partner (1) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo netto dell'UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto Partner Le organizzazioni partner contribuiscono all’attuazione dell’azione, ma non sottoscrivono l’accordo di sovvenzione.
