| Sammanfattning: | This article discusses the Maqāma qāhiriyya from the Maqāmāt rayyāniyya of Šaraf al-Dīn Abū ʿAbdallāh al-Ḥusayn b. Sulaymān b. Rayyān (702-770/1302-1369). Ibn Rayyān’s Maqāma qāhiriyya alludes to the popular epic (sīra) of ʿAntar b. Šaddād. Discussing the motifs drawn from popular epic in this maqāma, the article argues that Ibn Rayyān’s maqāma references Sīrat ʿAntar b. Šaddād to foreground differences and similarities between the maqāma and the popular sīra. This, in turn, shows the Qāhiriyya to be a site where the ethics of elite and popular forms contend. |
