Subject:Call for Articles on Mamluke and Ottoman period Arabic Lit

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to ask for contributors for a small number of articles on
Mamluke- and Ottoman-period Arabic literature that remain to be
assigned for the Dictionary of Literary Biography (DLB) volume on
Arabic Literary Culture:  1350-1830, edited by Devin Stewart and
myself.

DLB is a major reference tool containing literary biographies.
Numerous volumes (in the hundreds) have been published to date,
covering a wide range of authors, topics, and periods and these volumes
are found in libraries the world over (I urge persons interested in
contributing to look over one or two in their own libraries).  The
volume that we are editing will be one of only a very few works
covering late Mamluke/Otttoman, or early modern, Arabic literature, so
authors will have the opportunity to contribute to the study of Arabic
literature in a period that remains underrepresented in scholarship.

The volume will have entries on 43 different authors.  The seven
articles that remain to be assigned are the following:

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya (10000 words)
Ibn Kathir (6000 words)
Taqi al-Din ibn Hijja al-Hamawi (4000 words)
al-Nafzawi (4000 words)
al-Ibshihi (4000 words)
al-Sakhawi (10000 words)
al-Suyuti (10000 words)

Word counts are somewhat flexible.

Contributors will receive a modest honorarium as well as a copy of the
volume itself.

Please contact me directly at <elowry at sas.upenn.edu> if you wish to
contribute one of these articles, or if you would like more
information.

Thank you.
