Journal: Studia Iranica Volume: 35 Issue: 1 Date: 2006 Pages: 69-96 DOI: 10.2143/SI.35.1.2014254 Abstract : Le Rādd-i shubuhāt al-kuffār de ēqā Muḥammad 'Alī Bihbahānī Kirmēnshēhē (m. 1216/1801), figure parmi les ouvrages de réfutation dirigés contre les missionnaires chrétiens et écrits sur l'ordre de Fatḥ 'Alī Shāh Qājār (r. 1212/1797-1250/1834). L'article s'intéresse aux sources littéraires de cet ouvrage notamment au Tanqīḥ al-abḥēth li-l-milal al-thalāth d'Ibn Kammūna (m. 683/1284) et à l'Ifḥām al-yahūd de Samaw'al al-Maghrībī (m. 570/1175). Parmi ses autres sources importantes, on peut citer le Ḥawārīnāmah, écrit par le Père jésuite Jérôme Xavier entre 1602 et 1607, le Lawāmi'-i rabbāniyya de Sayyid Aḥmad Alawī (m. entre 1054/1644 et 1060/1650), ainsi que le Hidāyat al-ḍāllīn de 'Ali Qilī Jadīd al-Islām, un ancien moine augustin converti à l'islam (XIIe/XVIIe siècle). Among the refutations, that were written against Christian missionaries at the turn of the 18th/19th century following the order of Fatḥ 'Alī Shāh (reigned 1212/1797-1250/1834), was the extensive Rādd-i shubuhāt al-kuffār by ēqā Muḥammad 'Alī Bihbahānī Kirmēnshēhē (d. 1216/1801). The present article investigates the literary sources of this work among them particularly Ibn Kammūna's (d. 683/1284) Tanqīḥ al-abḥēth li-l-milal al-thalāth and Samaw'al al-Maghrībī's (d. 570/1175) Ifḥām al-yahūd. Other prominent sources of the work are Ḥawārīnāmah written by the Jesuit Father Jérôme Xavier between 1602 and 1607, Lawāmi'-i rabbāniyya by Sayyid Aḥmad Alawī (d. between 1054/1644 and 1060/1650), and Hidāyat al-ḍāllīn of 'Ali Qilī Jadīd al-Islām, the Augustinian convert to Islam of the 12th/17th century. |
