摘要:The economic and cultural rise of parts of the ʿāmmah 1 due to the particular economic and infrastructural conditions of the Mamluk era brought with it the emergence of new intermediate levels of literature that were situated between the literature of the elite and that of the ignorant and unlettered populace; between the Arabic koiné (al-ʿarabīyah al-fuṣḥá) and the local dialects (ʿāmmīyahs); and between written and oral composition, performance, and transmission. The following article proposes to analyze the composition of three Mamluk adabencyclopedias and compendia and their treatment of poverty and wealth in light of the social milieus of their authors and audiences.
