Un traité de droit mālikite égyptien redécouvert : Aṣbaġ b. al-Faraǧ (m. 225/ 840) et le serment d’abstinence
2019
Overview
The present article offers the edition of two legal papyri regarding repudiation, preserved in the Michaelides collection of the Cambridge University Library. The first one, a title page dating to the middle of the third/ninth century, suggests that the second one, an excerpt regarding the oath of abstinence (īlāʾ), may be attributed to the Egyptian Mālikī jurist Aṣbagh b. al-Faraj (d. 225/840). This sample, that may be so far the only surviving pages of this author's Samāʿ or Nawāzil, alternates quotations from Mālik's Muwaṭṭaʾ with the argumentation of another authority, perhaps Aṣbagh himself. It also preserves traces of legal controversies both in the milieu of Medinese scholars and in that of Egyptian jurists. These two papyri thus offer an unprecedented testimony to the formation of a Mālikī madhhab in Egypt and to the dialogical relationship that was established in the first half of the third/ninth century between jurists who claimed to follow the Medinese master.
Le présent article propose l'édition de deux papyrus juridiques relatifs à la répudiation, conservés dans la collection Michaelidès de la Bibliothèque universitaire de Cambridge. Le premier, une page de titre datant du milieu du III e /IX e siècle, suggère que le second, un extrait relatif au serment d'abstinence (īlāʾ), est attribuable au juriste mālikite égyptien Aṣbaġ b. al-Faraǧ (m. 225/840). Cet échantillon, qui pourrait constituer les seules pages survivantes du Samāʿ ou des Nawāzil de cet auteur, fait alterner des citations du Muwaṭṭaʾ de Mālik et l'argumentation d'une autre autorité, peut-être Aṣbaġ lui-même ; il préserve par ailleurs la trace de controverses juridiques tant dans le milieu des savants médinois que dans celui des juristes égyptiens. Ces deux papyrus offrent ainsi un témoignage inédit sur la formation d'un maḏhab mālikite en Égypte et sur la relation dialogique qui s'instaura, dans la première moitié du III e /IX e siècle, entre les juristes qui se réclamaient du maître médinois.
