Description
- In a brief period of time, Kahle produced an assortment of versions of the “Introduction” to his edition and translation into German of Ibn Dāniyāl’s «Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl», progressively reducing their length. Only a part is dated. More or less all the versions are entitled: “Muḥammad Ibn Dāniyāl. Ṭaif al-Ḫajāl. Drei arabische Schattenspiele aus Ägypten vom 13. Jahrhundert. Unter Zugrundelegung des von Georg Jacob hinterlassenen Materials bearbeitet und herausgegeben von Paul E. Kahle und Taḳieddin al-Hilālī”. The file contains: 1) Ten typewritten copies of the drafts of the Introduction to the translation into German of Ibn Dāniyāl’s «Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl». Paul Kahle marked in pencil a series of these copies, all without title-page, respectively as “XX1” (two copies of 20 pp., but only one has the title-page), “XX2”, “XX3”, “XX4” (16 pp.). Another series, with no indication in pencil, contains the title-page, followed by the title “Einleitung” and the text. 2) Six typewritten copies of the drafts of the Introduction to the translation into German of Ibn Dāniyāl’s «Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl ». Three copies have a title-page with the following title: “Ibn Dāniyāl - Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl. Drei arabische Schattenspiele aus Ägypten (13. Jahrhundert). Vorbemerkung von Paul Kahle”. Paul Kahle marked in pencil a series respectively as “II”, “V”, “VII” (all 15 pp. without title-page), another series, without the title and the title-page, as “X1” (13 pp.), “XXX1” and “XXX5” (15 pp.). 3) Fifteen typewritten copies of the drafts of the Introduction to the translation into German of Ibn Dāniyāl’s «Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl ». The copies without date consist respectively of 25 pp. (4 copies), 22 pp. (2 copies), 19 pp. (1 copy), 14 pp. (1 copy, dated 8/11/1960), 11 pp. (5 copies), 10 pp. (2 copies). Furthermore, there some other copies, incomplete, full of notes of Paul Kahle, that have the following dates: 29/7/1960, 18/8/(1960), 25/8/(1960), 26/8/(1960), 23/9/(1960), 8/11/1960. 4) Various incomplete manuscript and typewritten excerpts and parts of the drafts of the Introduction to the translation into German of Ibn Dāniyāl’s «Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl ». 5) Two typewritten copies of the drafts of the Introduction to the translation into German of Ibn Dāniyāl’s «Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl »(4 pp.). A copy is apparently a galley proof since it has the stamp of acceptance of publication (Ms No. 2001/53/IV1), although it has never been published. Both copies have notes by Kahle.
