Abstract:
A CONFIGURAÇÃO ÉTNICA da população baiana modificou-se bastante de fins do século XVIII para o século seguinte, quando povos islâmicos africanos tornaram-se comuns entre os escravos, em especial a partir dos grandes desembarques de cativos de fala Ioruba. As origens desses muçulmanos podem estar relacionadas ao contexto próprio das áreas interioranas da Baía de Benin e à jihad do Xeque Usman dan Fodio, fundador do Califado de Sokoto. Este estudo examina o material biográfico disponível, procurando oferecer subsídios adicionais acerca da comunidade muçulmana para, assim, estabelecer mais claramente as ligações entre os padrões de resistência à escravidão na Bahia, que culminaram na insurreição Malê de 1835, e o movimento da jihad no interior da Baía de Benin.

Abstract:
This paper explores the conflict between Abdullahi dan Fodio and his nephew, Muhammad Bello, over the origin of their ethnic group, the Torobbe-Fulani. Initially open to his uncle’s theories of an Arabocentric migration narrative, Bello went on to change his views abruptly and undermine his uncle’s work. Through sketching the background to the conflict followed by a close reading of the documents themselves–Abdullahi’s īdāʿ al-nusūkh and Bello’s critical commentary to it, the ḥāshiya–I suggest these documents offer different models for political legitimacy. Prefaced by a critical analysis of the use of the Fodiawa’s Arabic writings in Sokoto historiography, I suggest that future approaches must take into account the political nature of these documents, the specific contexts in which they were produced and the personal relationships of their authors.

Abstract:
At the turn of the nineteenth century, a movement of religious reform andstate building took place in present-day northern Nigeria, culminating withthe establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate. This movement was as central toWest African history as was the 1789 French revolution to European history.Its leader, the Muslim scholar Uthman Dan Fodio (d. 1817), deservesrecognition as a towering figure of nineteenth-century African Islam. DanFodio’s community (jamā‘a), which included many scholars, toppled thepreexisting Hausa kingdoms, replacing them with emirates ruled by Fulanileaders who all paid allegiance to the Caliph based in Sokoto. At its zenith,the Caliphate, which became the most powerful economic and political entityof West Africa in the nineteenth century, linked over thirty differentemirates and over ten million people ...

Abstract:
This Study shows that the Shehu's social writings are the reflection of his concept and method of implementation of tajdid. The basic goal of the tajdid was to recreate what he considered the ideal Sunni Islamic society. In order to achieve his objective he unfolded a plan of action which aimed at winning the support of the common people and the 'ulama'. For the people, he mounted a mass mobilization to boost religious learning, acquaint them with local beliefs adjudged as bad innovations, and exhort them about the impending End of Time. For the 'ulama', his plan was a reorientation of their attitudes toward moderation in theological and doctrinal matters, and accommodation of legal and religious views other than those of the Maliki School of Law. Further, he expected them to persuade the rulers of Gobir to change their un-Islamic ways and support the new movement. But when the 'ulama' chose not only to adopt a confrontational attitude but to prevail upon the rulers to take hostile measures against his followers, the Shehu took up arms against them and finally established a Caliphate.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a history of the rise of Islam in west Africa, in particular to Hausaland, which is today’s Northern Nigeria. The chapter then concentrates on the Sokoto Jihad and subsequent caliphate led by Uthman Dan Fodio. The chapter traces his intellectual history, highlighting his engagement with the Arabian peninsula and championing of unifying the Hausaland region under the textual regimen of the Maliki school of Islamic law. The second layer of the sunnaic paradigm, the role the Sokoto jihad plays in contemporary northern Nigerian idealizations of an ideal Islamic society, is explained. Idealization of scholars and hudud punishments are shown to be reinscribed into Nigeria’s present moment as a source of authentication of the 1999 sharia experiment.

Abstract:
This essay investigates the background and nature of the most important early work written and printed in Albanian, Archbishop Pjetër Bogdani’s theological treatise Cuneus prophetarum. Evidence from Bogdani’s correspondence suggests that he was working on what became the second part of this large book, the part describing the life of Christ, in the mid-1670s. Possibly this derived from sermons which he had given to his flock (in present-day Kosovo). Gradually he expanded the project, adding arguments which were directed against both Orthodox Christianity and Islam. The intellectual context of this was a circle of theologians in Rome (identified here) who were engaged in conversionary work, both against those faiths and against Judaism. Conversion was, however, at most a secondary aim for Bogdani, who was writing primarily for his own Catholic flock. But his project was taken up by Cardinal Gregorio Barbarigo in Padua, who eventually published the book in 1685, and for Barbarigo the conversion of Muslims was a major aim, linked to aspirations for the conquest of the Ottoman Empire. Barbarigo was also keen to display the capabilities of his newly established printing press; this explains why Bogdani’s text, which would ideally have been produced in a pocket-sized edition suitable for covert transmission inside the Ottoman Empire, appeared as a grand, illustrated folio volume, with passages in languages such as Syriac and Armenian. Bogdani’s project had, it is argued, been taken over and used for other purposes.

Abstract:
According to M. Pešikan, Fol. 10 from the Vukan Gospel (10a.8–10g.21) was almost entirely written by Scribe IV, one of the eight scribes involved in writing out the original book. The greatest part of the manuscript was written by the monk Simeon. Scribe IV was a follower of an ancient, non-calligraphic Cyrillic tradition, older than any other tradition identified in this manuscript. In terms of palaeographic and orthographic features, he was a predecessor of the "Bosnian" codices of the 13th–15th centuries. This confirms that there was a direct link between the Serbian literacy tradition in Bosnia and the earlier literacy tradition in Raška, namely one of its many lines. Further, in the past, this tradition can be traced back to the South Slavic literacy tradition developed in the Byzantine Empire, in the territory of present-day Macedonia. The concept of the "southern line", which has so far been used in explaining the origins of western Serbian, "Bosnian" literary monuments, acquires a different meaning in this light: a crucial hub in spreading literacy from the south to the north were Serbian scriptoria – from northern Macedonia, through Kosovo and Metohija, to Raška – where the Serbian recension was fist-shaped and then spread further to the west, to Bosnia.
