Al-Qalqaš andī’s maqā ma al-Kawākib ad-durrī ya

A Re-Consideration Within the Framework of Ego-Documents

Abstract Al-Qalqašandī’s maqāma al-Kawākib ad-Durrīya reports an encounter between a narrator in professional crisis and an anonymous inter­locutor. In addition to being an ‘ego-document’ written by the individual al-Qalqašandī, the maqāma also strongly advocates a scribal ‘esprit de corps’.
