“MEN  TOO,  AND  BEASTS  AND  CATTLE — DIVERSE  ARE  THEIR HUES”: TOWARDS  THE  QUR’ANIC  ETHNOGRAPHY

Abstract. Qur’anic ethnography is closely related to the studies of the language of the Qur’an and the language milieu of Arabia of the Prophet's time, to the ethnographic field studies in Arabia as well as Qur’anic archaeology. The key information can be provided by the most important written monuments related to Arabia of that time, as well as the texts of European travellers to Arabia from the 18th to the early 20th centuries, and the study of specialized museum collections around the world. The work undertaken within the framework of the research area is intended to give a more idiographic picture of the course of historical events related to the emergence of Islam, to provide independent evidence that allows, in some cases, to clarify the chronology of the facts and to date the texts. The results obtained with the help of Qur’anic ethnography approaches help in clarifying the meaning of Qur’anic texts, as they reconstruct the historical background of their origin.

 

Keywords: The Qur’an, Qur’anic ethnography, Biblical ethnography, language of the Qur’an, Arabia at the turn of the 6th—7th centuries, the rise of Islam, material culture, the daily life of Arabia at the turn of the 6th—7th centuries, pre‑Islamic poetry and poetry of the Prophet's contemporaries, the Arabian epigraphy, Ayyam al‑‘Arab, al‑Sira by Ibn Ishaq, al‑Sahih by al‑Bukhari, 18th — early 20th century travellers to Arabia, historical and ethnographic expeditions to modern Arabia, Qur’anic archaeology, Biblical archaeology, specialized museum collections

Acknowledgments. The article was prepared as part of the research under the RFBR grant No. 18‑09‑00100 “Qur’anic Ethnography 1. Material Culture of the Qur’an”.
