Excerpt from The Story of Aḥiḳar: From the Aramaic, Syriac, Arabic, Armenian, Ethiopic, Old Turkish, Greek, and Slavonic Versions
The story of Ahikar has been long known to readers of the Arabian Nights, in the supplement to which it finds a place; but, in common with many other tales which are so liberally heaped up by Scheherezade, or which have been attached to her collection, it has escaped up to the present time from the close inspection of criticism, into the focus of which it has been slowly drifting; but, as we shall see when we consider the literature that has been quietly accumulating around it during the last few years, there has been an increasing perception that we had in this pretty romance something more and something earlier than a conventional Arab tale of the way in which Ingratitude meets its due, and that the nucleus of the tale, at all events, was Biblical or semi-Biblical in character, however wide the gulf might at first seem between the Hebrew and the Arabic literatures. And it is this perception of the imperfectly recognised debt which one branch of Semitic literature owes to another, and the rectification of ideas involved in the payment of the debt, that furnishes the main motive of the present tract.

The Story of Aá ¥iá ar (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the ancient literary history of one of the most well-known tales from "The Arabian Nights". The charming yet morally complex story of Abikar, the Vizier who lost everything through the treachery of his nephew Nadan, is explored by the author in its literary and historical contexts, drawing connections to the Biblical Apocrypha and investigating the surprising diffusion of the tale across cultures and languages. The author presents evidence to suggest that the story of Abikar, far from being a simple tale for entertainment, is a complex and sophisticated story with ancient origins, perhaps even pre-dating the Biblical Apocrypha from which it has been traditionally believed to derive. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331748878_0
