Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Department of Middle East Studies

Along with the Prophet’s relics, verbal icons of Muhammad known as hilyes count among the most popular forms of devotional art during the late Ottoman period. While manuscript paintings and compositions mounted on wooden boards have been the subject of scholarly inquiry, an otherwise unknown type of hilye production involves the insertion of verbal icons into glass bottles. Today, three such “hilye bottles” are held in the Topkapı Palace Library in Istanbul, where they remain unstudied and unpublished. This talk aims to present these newly uncovered artworks and explore their possible meanings and functions, among them their acting as a new kind of prophetic pharmacon during the late nineteenth century, at which time Muhammad was concretized and ‘imbibed’ as the ultimate elixir vitae.

CANCELLED - Temporality and the (Un)boundedness of Tradition in Islamic Chronicles (April 6, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72996 72996-18276414@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, April 6, 2020 4:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Department of Middle East Studies

This event has been cancelled.

In modern representation, 'Islamic' history is the evolving story of a religion that was born with Muhammad's career and has continued to the present as an exclusive tradition. In tension with this view, premodern Islamic chronicles tend to espouse inclusive temporalities, while also maintaining triumphalist outlooks. Complex understandings of the past embedded in such chronicles help problematize the presumed insularity of Islam.
