| Summary: | This bibliographical essay documents for the first time the treatises written on the Sunni Islamic doctrine of taabbuhthe reprehensible imitation of others, especially non-Muslims. Since the formative period of Islam, taabbuh has played an important role in shaping both Islamic orthodoxy and Muslim inter-religious relations. But due to a focus on the doctrine's historical origins, existing scholarship has yet to identify the Islamic literary genre that I call "the treatises against imitation," which was a post-formative development. To fill this scholarly lacuna, this study traces the genre's historical evolution by creating an archive of available treatises against imitation, pre-modern and modern. Chronologically arranged and periodized, the bibliographical entries include descriptive summaries of each treatise, with references to published and/or manuscript editions and existing scholarship on the text and its author. |
