Description

Meaningful Rituals: Persian, Arabic and Bengali in the Nūrnāma Tradition of Eastern Bengal explores a corpus of texts that centre around the creation of the world by God through his prophet Muḥammad in his primordial form as a luminous entity. These short accounts, which bear the title Nūrnāma (The Book of Light), played two roles: as conveyers of knowledge regarding basic Islamic beliefs and cosmology, and as ritual texts meant to protect and bring prosperity to those who read and preserved the physical artefact of the book that contained that knowledge.

Author Biography:

Thibaut d'Hubert teaches Bengali at the University of Chicago and works on Middle Bengali poetry and Indo-Persian literature. His approach brings together textual criticism, literary hermeneutics, the study of traditional modes of philology, and the performance of poetry in religious and secular settings. He is the author of In the Shade of the Golden Palace: Alaol and Middle Bengali Poetics in Arakan (2018) and co-editor (along with Alexandre Papas) of Jāmī in Regional Contexts: The Reception of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Jāmī's Works in the Islamicate World, C. 9th/15th-14th/20th (2019).
