9 PUBLISHING & SALES ENqUIRIES

We are delighted and honoured to present you the first catalogue of Leiden University Press, a new enterprise launched with this list. This is an exciting new venture for the University. As a publisher of scholarly books, we want to serve a global community with publications both in print and digital form of authoritative works that are relevant to academic, professional and trade markets.

The focus of our first list, is research in the humanities and we are proud to list books on subjects from Sharia and national law to archaeology, from the Maori to the reason and emotion that drive pioneering scientists. We are also delighted to announce an ambitious series of works on Iranian studies that starts off with nine titles this year.

In the coming years the list will expand to include a growing number of titles relating to law, history, arts and culture, languages, archaeology, area studies, and the wider social sciences. For the near future our main focus will be on publishing e-journals and digital products.

Through a worldwide network of distributors and working with OApen to develop an Open Access approach, we will reach a global audience for books and products in the fields of research that Leiden University is celebrated for.

On the back cover of this catalogue you find the author of Autumn of the Middle Ages, the late Leiden professor Johan Huizinga, reading, like the Greek goddess of knowledge does in the heraldic device of the University.After the end of the siege of Leiden to the Spanish troops in 1574, Leiden University was founded on 8 February 1575. “On 20 July 1576 the initial proposal was made for an image of an armed Pallas, the vigilant leader in both combat and learning. The final version of the coat of arms also alludes to the goddess’ two talents, for the university’s Seal depicts Pallas, still with cuirass and helmet, engrossed in an open book.” (W.Otterspeer, The Bastion of Liberty, Leiden University Press, 2008). From the heart of the university, Leiden University Press will not forget the Reading Pallas as we set out to disseminate international research of the highest quality and scholarly work that reaches the widest audience.

Jan Michiel Otto (ed.)

Sharia Incorporated A Comparative Overview of the Legal Systems of Twelve Muslim Countries in Past and Present

The aim of Sharia Incorporated is to provide unbiased and contextual information about a topic that has of late been hijacked by politics in the Muslim world as well as in the West. Sharia Incorporated, written by laudable international scholars, is an ambitious study of the incorporation of Islamic law traditions into national legal systems. The book also explores the sensitive topic of ‘Western’ human rights and other rule of law standards in a Muslim world. It provides an in-depth analysis of the role of sharia in the historical and legal formation of twelve representative Muslim states, with a unique comparison of key issues raised by the ‘Islamic awakening’ of recent decades. In the preface Jan Michiel Otto goes to the heart of the prevailing environment in which Western discourses tend to oversimplify the substance and effect of Islam and sharia.

Jan Michiel Otto is professor of law and governance in

developing countries at Leiden University, Faculty of Law,

and director of the Van Vollenhoven Institute for law,

governance and development.

Sassan Tabatabai

Father of Persian Verse Rudaki and his Poetry

Abu ‘Abdollâh’ Jafar ibn Mohammad Rudaki (c. 880 CE-941 CE) is widely regarded as “the father of Persian poetry”, for he was the first major poet to write in New Persian language. This book presents Rudaki as the founder of a new poetic aesthetic, which was adopted by subsequent generations of Persian poets. Rudaki is credited with being the first to write in the rubâi form; and many of the images we first encounter in Rudaki’s lines have become staples of Persian poetry.

Sassan Tabatabai (Iran 1967) teaches Persian and the Humanities at Boston

University. Tabatabai is a poet, translator and editor.

A.A. Seyed-Gohrab and S. McGlinn (eds.)

One Word - Yak Kaleme 19th Century Persian Treatise Introducing Western Codified Law

One Word – Yak Kaleme was one of the first treatises in the Middle East to demonstrate that Islam is compatible with modern western forms of government, and specifically that sharia principles can be incorporated in a codified law comparable to that found in Europe. Unlike many fellow Oriental travellers, he observed that European dominance was not derived from a few technological advances, but primarily from the organisation of society. In One Word, the author argues that the principles underlying constitutional government can be found in Islamic sources. One Word was a significant text during the Iranian Constitutional Revolution of 1906, but its message is relevant today.

Anousha Sedighi

Agreement Restrictions in PersianAgreement Restrictions in Persian is the first comprehensive attempt to tackle the issue of verbal agreement in the Persian language from a cross-linguistic point of view. Unlike the previous analyses, which consider the Experience as the subject, it is argued that the psychological state is the subject of the sentence. The results not only contribute to better understanding of Persian syntax, but also have important implications for grammar theory.

Dr. Anousha Sedighi is an assistant professor of Persian at Portland State

University. In 2010 she was awarded a grant from Roshan Cultural Heritage

Institute to complete her first-year Persian language textbook and to

organize a film series entitled “On Iranian Women, By Iranian Women.”

Embodiments of Evil: Gog and Magog Interdisciplinary Studies of the “Other” in Literature & Internet Texts

Gog and Magog, as archetypes of evil, have dwelt in our consciousness since their threatening appea-rance in the Bible and Quran. Maps, literature and texts ranging from Medieval Europe, the Byzantine and Arab world, in Berber, Persian and Indonesian traditions, to contemporary internet texts: all use these imaginary monstrous creatures. Embodiments of Evil: Gog and Magog reveals in eight essays the images of the ‘Other’ from contemporary folk religion on the internet to the rich literary heritage of Alexander romances.

Pots, Farmers and Foragers How pottery traditions shed a light on social interaction in the earliest Neolithic of the Lower Rhine Area

In Pots, Farmers and Foragers the contributing 24 European scholars show with evidence a new synthesis of the complex interaction of the communities of the western part of the North European Plain during early Neolithic.In the study of earliest stage of neolithisation pottery plays a key role. The most advanced north-western settlement in the expansion of the central European Linear Pottery culture during the second half of the sixth millennium B.C. is to be found in the Lower Rhine Area. At the same time this is the northernmost extension of the synchronic and enigmatic pottery groups La Hoguette and Limburg. This volume convincingly states that pottery and its associated habits were among the first of the many new societal aspects to be adopted by neighbouring foraging communities.

The Archaeology of the First Farmer-Herders in Egypt New insights into the Fayum Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic

Noriyuki Shirai’s research on lithic artefacts used by the Epipalaeolithic hunter-fishers and Neolithic famer-herders in the Fayum gives a clue as to the mobility and residential strategy of the Fayum people and their time and labour investments in tool production. The Neolitic famer-herders ( 6th C.B.C.E.) relied heavily on hunting and fishing. Lithic evidence, as Shirai proves, suggests that the Fayum people were not nomadic but were tethered to lakeshores.

The Archaeology of the First Farmer-Herders in Egypt

The Archaeology of the First Farmer-Herders in Egypt explores how and why farming and herding started in a particular time period in a particular region of Egypt. The earliest Neolithic farming in combination with herding in Egypt is known in the Fayum, which is a large oasis with a permanent lake in the Egyptian Western Desert. Farming and herding started at the transition from the Epipalaeolithic to Neolithic in the 6th millennium cal.BC owing to the arrival of Levantine domesticates. The Neolithic farmer-herders in the Fayum relied heavily on hunting and fishing, which had been the major subsistence activities since the Epipalaeolithic period. There are no remains of substantial dwellings to indicate that these farmer-herders lived a sedentary way of life. Previous researchers have thus asserted that the Fayum people were nomadic and moved seasonally. Noriyuki Shirai’s research on lithic artefacts used by the Epipalaeolithic hunter-fishers and Neolithic farmer-herders in the Fayum gives a clue as to the mobility and residential strategy of the Fayum people and their time and labour investments in tool production. Lithic evidence suggests that the Fayum people were not nomadic but were tethered to lakeshores. The introduction of farming and herding would not have taken place in the Fayum without a lakeshore-tethered if not fully sedentary way of life. But the success of a farming-herding way of life in the Fayum would not have been possible without the reorganisation of mobility, which led to decreased moves of residential bases and increased logistical moves of individuals. Lithic evidence also suggests that the Fayum People kept exerting special efforts to make farming and herding reliable subsistence and to maximise the yield. The introduction of farming and herding in the Fayum would have been a solution to mitigate growing population/resource imbalances when the climate became drier and more people had to aggregate around permanent water sources in the 6th millennium cal.BC.

BrainsAn Integrative Approach to the Hominin Record

Wil Roebroeks (ed.)

leiden universit y pressLUP

l u p a c a d e m i c

How did humans evolve? Why do we have

such large brains, and how can we af-

ford the high energetic costs? The con-

tributors to this volume focus on the

suggestion that ‘we are what we eat’,

and that diet played a role in the evo-

lution of a number of distinctive human

characteristics. The volume draws to-

gether results from a wide range of

disciplines, for example, studies of

foraging activities of hunter-gatherers

compared with primates, the energy

requirements of extinct hominins, the

energetics of reproduction for female ho-

minins, evidence for hominin diets from

bone chemistry, and the archaeology of

Neandertal foraging behaviour. Perhaps

more importantly, this volume shows

that a focus on diet provides an excellent

opportunity to integrate these diverse

sources of evidence with models of human

evolution.

Wil Roebroeks is professor of Palaeolithic

Archaeology at Leiden University, the

Netherlands.

�e Study of Religion and the Training of Muslim Clergy in Europe

Academic and Religious Freedomin the st century

Edited by Willem B. Drees & Pieter Sjoerd van Koningsveld

leiden university press

Scholarship can be o�ensive to believers, as con-�icts since the time of Ibn Rushd (depicted on the cover), Galileo and Spinoza have shown. Re-cent examples include the expulsion of Abu Zayd

from Egypt (told here by Abu Zayd), political criti-cisms of Danish scholars of religion in the wake of

the cartoon crisis, and the impact of ‘9/11’ on academic freedom. Studies on religion may also be appropriated by

believers, to strengthen or reinvent their identity. �e study of religion is intimate-ly related to academic and religious freedom. �e training of Muslim clergy is one area of contemporary importance. Grand Mu�i Ceric of Bosnia discusses the situation in Bosnia. A unique appendix in Arabic and English presents the founding documents of the oldest Islamic insti-tution in Europe, the Ghazi Husrev-bey madrasa in Sarajevo founded in 1537. Van Koningsveld analyses in detail training programs for imams set up by nazi-Ger-many. An appendix has original German material from the debrie�ng report by the main SS o�cer responsible. Further essays consider current developments in the Netherlands, Austria, Italy and elsewhere in Europe.

Willem B. Drees is professor of philosophy of religion and ethics, and current-ly also the Dean of the Faculty of Religious Studies of Leiden University. Pieter Sjoerd van Koningsveld is professor of the History of Islam in Western Europe at the Faculty of Religious Studies of Leiden University.
