Dar al-islam / dar al-?arb: Territories, People, Identities
This is the first collection of studies entirely devoted to the terminological pair dar al-islam / dar al-harb, \"the abode of Islam\" and \"the abode of war\", apparently widely known as representative of \"the Islamic vision\" of the world, but in fact almost unexplored. A team of specialists in different fields of Islamic studies investigates the issue in its historical and conceptual origins as well as in its reception within the different genres of Muslim written production. In contrast to the fixed and permanent categories they are currently identified with, the multifaceted character of these two notions and their shifting meanings is set out through the analysis of a wide range of contexts and sources, from the middle ages up to modern times.Contributors are Francisco Apellániz, Michel Balivet, Giovanna Calasso, Alessandro Cancian, Éric Chaumont, Roberta Denaro, Maribel Fierro, Chiara Formichi, Yohanan Friedmann, Giuliano Lancioni, Yaacov Lev, Nicola Melis, Luis Molina, Antonino Pellitteri, Camille Rhoné-Quer, Francesca Romana Romani, Biancamaria Scarcia Amoretti, Roberto Tottoli, Raoul Villano, Eleonora Di Vincenzo and Francesco Zappa.

LA TERMINOLOGIA GRAMMATICALE DEL CORPUS GIABIRIANO
Dating the corpus of alchemic ẇritings traditionally ascribed to Ǧābir Ibn Hayyān (d. about 200/815-16), an associate and a follower of the sixth Shi'i imam Ǧa'far al-Ṣādiq (d. 147/765), is an open question. The most widespread opinion, expressed by, among others, Kraus (1942-43), inclines to believe in a relatively late dating, whereas other scholars (e.g. Haq, 1994), do not regard an earlier dating as impossible, nor do they exclude in principle the traditional attribution. Some light can be shed on the question by a scrutiny of terminology employed in grammatical passages of the corpus; a sample analysis, based on published sections of Kitāb al-Taṣrīf and Kitāb al-Aḥǧār, clearly shows the late character of these passages, which use grammatical terms presumably introduced in IV/X century only, as shown by their absence in Sibawayi's Kitāb and in major III/IX century treatise (Ma'ānī al-Qur'ān by al-Farrā' and al-Muqtaḍab by al-Mubarrad). The most striking late features are the employ of the series of nisbaterms ṯulāṯī, rubā'īe ḫumāsī (instead of the older forms banāt alṯamāṯa, al-arba'a and al-ḫamsa), and the use of naḥw and naḥwiyyūn to denote ' grammar' and 'grammarians' in a general meaning. The conclusion can be drawn that the current version of the treatises cannot be dated earlier than the beginning of IV/X century, which does not exclude in itself the existence of different, earlier versions.
