The purpose of this paper is to introduce an exceptional document preserved at the Louvre Museum under the mark MAO 2098. The manuscript is a calligraphic genealogical scroll relating to the Äwaqas, members of a Sufi Naqšbandi lineage of East Turkestan which was extremely powerful during the 17 th and the 18 th centuries. Striving to join the dots literally as well as figuratively, I propose to read the šaqara in several different ways. Most obviously, the text provides some limited new information on members of the Afaqi branch of the Äwaqa family. At the same time, we can read the text as a communicative device serving to advance two intertwined social practices: family strategies and the construction of power. Produced within a forum of competition with other aristocratic households, prestigious Sufi lineages in particular, the scroll serves to highlight both the Š arifian origin of the family and the hereditary succession of its spiritual leaders. At the same time, the manuscript's remarkable aesthetic qualities served to impress upon those who saw in it the numinous force of the Äwaqas' supernatural authority.
Journal of Islamic Manuscripts, 2015
This article provides a short survey of the avenues of research opened up by the study of the Qurʾān manuscripts in the Al-Biruni Institute in Tashkent, the largest public collection of Islamic manuscripts in Central Asia. The author, who is preparing a catalogue of the Qurʾāns held by the Institute, gives a succinct overview of the history and the organization of the collections. The research perspectives outlined by the author concern the shorter versions of the Qurʾāns made for talismanic and devotional purposes (haftiyak and panj sūra), the everyday use of common manuscripts, illuminations in the luxury manuscripts and particularities of the bindings. If properly pursued, these leads will provide insights into many aspects of the culture of book making in Central Asia in the pre-modern period.
