Mühlemann, Corinne (16 June 2021). Textile Terminology in Legal Islamic Sources – Al-Saqaṭī and his Kitāb fī adāb al-Ḥisba (Unpublished). In: Keynote-Lecture, Conference: Old Textiles – More Possibilities (CTR Anniversary Conference). University of Copenhagen, Saxo Institute, Centre for Textile Research (CTR). 14.–18.06.2021.
In contrast to Byzantine and Western medieval art history, there exists a notable inattention to juridical sources within the field of Islamic art history as well as the history of textile arts. By tying written sources with material and technological knowledge, I will explore the potential of legal Islamic sources illustrating how they expose the complex relations of labor, artistic creation, and patronage in the design and execution of textiles in the medieval Islamic marketplace. I will scrutinize the ḥisba-manual (market regulation) of alSaqaṭī, who was the market inspector (muḥtasib) of Málaga by the end of the eleventh century CE. Interested in the textile terminology he uses, I will try to shed light upon the connection of weaving and poetry in early twelfth century al-Andalus through the Arabic term bait.
