Description

This volume complements the selection of Wilferd Madelungâ€™s articles previously published by Variorum (Religious Schools and Sects in Medieval Islam), the earlier volume dealing principally with dogmatic issues, the present one concentrating on the political and social aspects.

The first articles here examine the origins of the belief in the coming of the Mahdi and apocalyptic prophecies connected with this, such as arose among the Yemenite emigrants in Syria and Egypt.

The following studies relate to Shiâ€™ite and Alid movements under the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates and to the political ideology of the Buyids.

The final group focuses on the Yemen, its social structures and its historiography, in particular Zaydi sources.

A section of additional notes and a detailed index complete the volume. Ce volume vient sâ€™ajouter en complÃ©ment de la collection dâ€™articles de Wilferd Madelung prÃ©alablement publiÃ©e par Variorum (Religious Schools and Sects in Medieval Islam); le volume prÃ©cÃ©dent traitant de questions de dogme et celui-ci se concentrant sur les aspects sociaux et politiques. Les premiers articles font lâ€™examen des origines de la croyance en lâ€™avÃ¨nement du Mahdi et des prophÃ©cies apocalyptiques lui Ã©tant rattachÃ©es - telles celles qui ont vu le jour parmi les Ã©migrÃ©s yÃ©mÃ©nites en Syrie et en Egypte. Les Ã©tudes suivantes se rapportent aux mouvements chiâ€™ite et alide sous les caliphats umayyade et abbaside, ainsi quâ€™ÃƒÂ lâ€™idÃ©ologie politique des Buyides. Un dernier groupe sâ€™attache au YÃ©men, ÃƒÂ ses structures sociales et son historiographie, en particulier aux sources Zaydi. Une section de notes supplÃ©mentaires et index dÃ©taillÃ© viennent sâ€™ajouter au recueil.
