Questo paper affronta il tema dell’identità Omanita e l’ideologico religioso Islamico Ibadita. Fra gli elementi principali che caratterizzano l’Oman, si possono considerare: 1. La sua particolare configurazione geografica. 2. La sua popolazione multi-culturale e multi-religiosa sin da epoche antichissime e precedent l’Islam stesso. 3. La dottrina Islamica Ibadita. Conseguentemente, in primo luogo l’Autore si sofferma sulle particolari connotazioni geografiche dell’Oman e suoi molteplici ‘paesaggi’, i quali hanno indubbiamnete avuto un profondo impatto sugli habitat umani e la loro organizzazione all’interno delle diverse nicchie ecologiche del Paese, risalendo a secoli se non a millenni or sono. Riguardo a quest’ultimo aspetto, una delle principali connotazioni è stata quella del tribalismo e le sue complementarietà all’interno di una cornice che, in Oman, è sempre stata caratterizzata da multi-culturalità e multi-religiosità. Quindi, con l’avvento dell’Islam, un nuovo fattore si è imposto sulla scena storica omanita: l’Ibadismo e le sue dinamiche. Dopo un breve schema storico e in ampia parte riferendosi al paper precedente, il discorso puntualizza i principî base dell’Ibadismo e della sua evoluzione nel tempo, il ruolo giocato in Oman nel corso dei secoli, il suo impatto sulla società locale e il modello politico-istituzionale che esso ha contribuito a forgiare e modellare. Si tratta di una eredità culturale tramandata nei secoli fino ad oggi. Infine, l’Autore dà un rapido ma chiaro affresco dell’Ibadismo e del suo ideologico religioso oggi, il rapporto fra questa ideologia religiosa e il concetto di Modernità tecnologica e sociale, Corano e principî guida religiosi di fronte alle diversità, la risposta Ibadita di fronte a un nuovo modello di società inter-religiosa e inter-etnica.

Abstract This article aims at shedding light on the late medieval trading system in the western part of the Indian Ocean between the Gulf and the east coast of Africa, in order to offer new evidence on the so-called “Shirazi question”. I will dispute the alleged early tenth/eleventh century date of the (possibly fictitious) “Shirazi migration” to East Africa by examining the background of the socio-economic and political changes which took place between the tenth and the fifteenth century. The trade network in which Hormuz – including Qalhat – played an important part is well documented by a homogenous pottery assemblage, which combines finds from the Makran/Baluchistan coast, the Gulf, Hormuz-Qalhat, Tiwi and farther south with many places on and off the coast of East Africa. This is important for our suggestion that the Shirazi-legend should be placed in the Hormuz-Qalhat period between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. A quantity analysis of the recorded sites between the Lamu region in the north and the Kilwa region in the south testifies to a constant rise of settlement activity or settlement expansion between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, reaching a peak in the fourteenth century (43 out of 116 examined places) and the fifteenth century (53 out of 116 examined places). Taking these facts together, we shall turn again to the grey area between legend and historical fact.

The downfall of the first Omani imamate in 280/885 represented the beginning of clashes between Ibāḍī ideology and the emerging family dynasties in different Omani provinces. The dynastic rulers sought to abolish the imamate system in the country, which led to serious conflict between distinguished political families and Ibāḍī scholars. Perhaps Wajīhid's reign in the fourth/tenth century symbolizes this best. This important family's rule of the country brought about fundamental changes in the areas of politics and commerce, which in turn has occupied the interest of many historians and archaeologists. This paper focuses on the emergence of the Wajīhid, their relations with Omani Ibāḍīs, and the subsequent political and economical changes in Oman. Finally, the paper examines this development in relation to the centre of the caliphate in Baghdad, the Būyids and Qarmatians (Carmathians).

Abstract This study examines two late 2nd/8th century books that have been edited and published recently: Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh b. Yazīd al-Fazārī (d. c.185/800)’s Kitāb al-Rudūd (The Book of Responses) and Ḍirār b. ʿAmr al-Ġaṭāfānī’s (d. c.200/810) Kitāb al-Taḥrīš (The Book of Provocation). Both texts shed light on the emergence of ʿilm al-kalām (scholastic theology) in early Islam and its relationship to books and treatises on the Islamic firaq (sects) – a relationship which until now has not been sufficiently examined. In comparing these two texts, we focus on the specific topics they share, the methodologies they use, and the technical terms they employ. We conclude that the emergence of ʿilm al-kalām, as well as the Islamic “contemplative disciplines” in general, occurred not primarily, as is often surmised, as a result of external Greek philosophical influence but rather as the result of a politico-theological debate that took place within Muslim communities. We also reconsider the nature of intellectual life during the early Abbasid period.

"Since the end of the Second World War, a dispute has continued amongst Muslims and Arabs regarding the character of Orientalism. The period during the Cold War played a principal role in the shaping of disparate views when some of the key Arab states leaned towards the former Soviet Union, while others aligned themselves with the United States and its allies. Such alignments resulted in distinctive orientations towards cultural studies that found expression in a ‘soft’ confrontation led by Islamists on one side and leftwing leaders on the other. In exploring these differences, it is important to begin by defining what is meant by Orientalism. To do this, one needs to examine the three main areas of scholarly focus in the last two hundred years: the editing of Arabic manuscripts, historical scholarship on Islam, and Islamic religious studies and its associated branches."(...)

A discussion on al-ʿAwtabī’s name and genealogy. Sālimī reaches the conclusion that there were two persons with the name Salma b. Muslim al-ʿAwtabī, one with the Kunya Abū ‘l-Mundhir and the other with the Kunya Abū Ibrāhīm. See Mashriq, Ṣuḥārī, Abū ‘l-Mundhir Salāma (Salma) b. Muslim: K. Ansāb al-ʿArab.
