#oneabstractaday (okay two!)
Today I read Gül Şen's very well-structured and insightful study of an Ottoman chronicle.
"In 'Making Sense of History: Narrativity and Literariness in the Ottoman Chronicle of Naʿīmā', Gül Şen offers the first comprehensive analysis of narrativity in the most prominent official Ottoman court chronicle. As a case study on the literalization of historical material, 'Making Sense of History' provides insights into the historiographical and literary conventions underpinning Naʿīmā’s chronicle and contributes to our understanding of elite mentalities in the early modern Ottoman world by highlighting the author’s use of key concepts such as history and time."

I liked this illustration of the chronicle in question, depicted on a portrait of the Ottoman sultan.

Narrative Pattern and Genre in Hagiographic Life Writing: Comparative Perspectives from Asia to Europe examines so far mostly unstudied ‘non-occidental’ pre-modern hagiographic texts across disciplines with both philological and narratological approaches. Texts that recount the life of a saint have been labelled ‘hagiography’ and such works have been employed as sources for historical or literary research. However, a text-based definition of the term, not to mention a confirmation of its use on the basis of wider examinations across cultures is still wanting. This volume aims to be a step on this way: eleven contributors examine texts from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism in the respective source languages. A comprehensive introduction outlines hagiographic life writing; an outlook develops some definitions and suggests a scheme of analysis for future research.
