Introduction

The sub-sub-sub-series includes all the materials concerning the shadow play «al-Timsāḥ». This play is set on the edge of the Nile River and is a sort of satire of the farmer («fellāḥ») who wants to learn the art of fishing. The sub-sub-sub series preserves all materials related to the publication of Kahle’s “Das Krokodilspiel «(Liʻb et-Timsāḥ»), ein egyptisches Schattenspiel” (1915). It also contains materials related to the play translated into German by Kahle under the title “Das Krokodilspiel” and performed in Stuttgart November 19, 1924.
