Abstract

It is a scientific description of the pilot issue of Tutuh al-Buldan series, which illustrates the variety of Islamic experiences that have characterized, and still characterize, the Muslim world. It collects 12 essays in English, French and Italian, by authors from different coun-tries. The contact zone of these contributions is represented by their focus on primary sources in classical Arabic (fuṣḥa) and Moroccan di-alect, as well as in three other languages. The methodology employed by the authors reflects different disciplines and scholarly traditions, spanning from philology to anthropology to textual criticism
