The phantom: a shadow play.This is a study of the life and work of Ibn Dāniyāl (d. 1310), a Cairo-based eye doctor, poet, playwright, court jester, and arguably one of the most controversial cultural figures of his time. Drawing on medieval Arabic sources, many still in manuscript and some used for the first time, the author further contextualizes Ibn Dāniyāl’s work with respect to poetry production and popular culture in the Islamic Near East in the post-Mongol period. The book also presents the first full English translation of “The Phantom,” one of Ibn Dāniyāl’s three shadow plays, the only surviving pre-Ottoman Arabic theatrical texts.Islamic history and civilization ;v. 93.Arabic poetry1258-1800History and criticismShadow showsEgyptCairoHistory13th centuryPerforming artsIslamic EmpireHistoryArabic poetryHistory and criticism.Shadow showsHistoryPerforming artsHistory.791.5/309621609022Guo Li1956-1685656Ibn Dānīyāl Muḥammad1249 or 1250-1310 or 1311.1685657MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825348203321The performing arts in medieval Islam4057951UNINA
