ISBN : 978-5-88431-323-1. Available in the shops of the Russian Academy of Sciences or per post by order via the editors: Pavel Pogorelski pogorelski@kunstkamera.ru Maxim Vasilenko maqsim@yandex.ru This collection of 22 articles, dedicated to Prof. Dr. Mikhail Rodionov2 on the occasion of his 70th anniversary, combines numerous branches and fields of Oriental Studies. Apart from the ethnography of the Arab World—Prof. Rodionov’s main sphere of expertise—other fields of Arabistics, as well as South and Southeast Asian, Turkish, Iranian, Jewish, ancient Near Eastern and Semitic studies are combined under one cover. Regions remote from each other and epochs from the Bronze Age to the present day are brought together in the common Asian context. Ethnography is complemented by medieval and modern, regional and local history, political science, sociology, palaeography, epigraphy, folklore studies, linguistics, art and architecture, poetics, literary science, and mythology. The articles are presented in Russian, English, French, and Arabic. 1 Pavel Pogorelski and Maxim Vasilenko are Mikhail Rodionov’s colleagues from the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkammer). Together with Mikhail Rodionov, Pavel Pogorelski took part in the Soviet-Yemeni Joint Expedition in the 1980s. Maxim Vasilenko was Mikhail Rodionov’s PhD student at the Kunstkammer. 2 Mikhail Rodionov is the Head of the Department of South and Southwest Asia of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkammer), and a professor of Middle Eastern Studies at the Saint-Petersburg State University. Actualités CmY 24 (Juil. 2017) 2 The thematic and geographical focus of the book lies in Yemen, where most of Prof. Rodionov’s field seasons were conducted, and to which the majority of his publications are dedicated. It has a wider focus on the Middle East and the surrounding regions sharing with it Islamic civilization and linked to it via trade roots and intersections of cultural spaces. More than one third of the contributions (8 out of 22) are written in foreign languages (others than Russian), which is a very good record for collections of articles published in Russia. This undoubtedly widens the readership of the book and increases its value. That three English-language articles have been published by Russian-speaking colleagues of Mikhail Rodionov is a good example for similar projects in Russia to follow. Moreover, Russian-language articles are provided with English abstracts allowing a primary acquaintance with them by Western colleagues. A high diversity of topics elucidated in the book should be assessed as representativeness, rather than thematic sparseness. Considering innovative aspects of the studies, it is important that the book, paying tribute to topicality and actuality, covers almost all historical periods. The articles focus on all main spheres of ethnic culture (primary production, life support, institutional and humanitarian), and these spheres are presented more or less equally. Five articles are dedicated to the culture of word in its different expressions. Six articles address themselves to material culture. Four papers—to cults and ideologies. Another four—to symbols and cultural spaces, and three—to the memories of fieldwork in Yemen and to the present situation in the country. Milhail Rodionov’s anniversary, to which the publication of the book was dedicated, has encouraged an international (Russia, France, Germany, Israel, Yemen) collective of authors to search answers to a wide circle of questions. As a result of it, we have a number of studies, of which the publication is comparable with a representative forum of orientalists. The book does not divide authors from one another on the basis of period or region, but rather, as befitting to a forum, on each of its thematic grounds (in each of the five sections), brings together researchers of different cultures and fields. A brief review presented here does not follow the structure of the book (its table of contents is given below). Firstly, it addresses articles related to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, turning then to articles focusing on other Middle Eastern regions and parts of Asia. Since the focus of the CmY is on hand- written sources, the review stresses the study of manuscripts, epigraphy, calligraphy and curved inscriptions. Articles related to Yemen The book is interesting, first and foremost, due to the originality and innovation of the contributions presenting previously unexplored or even unknown ethnographic material and field data. Quite a few articles discover previously unknown manuscripts, epigraphy and inscriptions engraved in metal. Actualités CmY 24 (Juil. 2017) 3 By way of illustration, the article of Werner Daum3 introduces to the scientific community unique examples of Yemen’s traditional jewellery of the eighteenth century and practically opens the research on this period, which has lacked academic attention in the works on silver crafting. Answering the question, what was Yemeni jewellery like before the nineteenth century, required, amongst others, focusing on stories behind engraved Arabic calligraphy and puzzling Hebrew signatures. Also the author refers to the document Nūr al-ma‘ārif dating to the last years of the reign of the Rasūlid Sultan al-Malik al-Muẓaffar Šams al-Dīn Yūsuf b. ‘Umar b. ‘Alī b. Rasūl (ruled Yemen in 1249–1295). This unique compilation is a tax-register and, at the same time, a kind of statistical yearbook that lists in detail all the artisanal productions in Yemen in the early 90s of the thirteenth century. Werner Daum’s study, as well as his distinguished collection of silver objects, is all the more valuable since, in the light of the dramatic developments of the recent years, the original pieces of old traditional jewellery became almost extinct in Yemen. In the same way, the hardly estimable present condition and unpredictable future of Yemen’s material legacy add topicality to all studies based on artefacts and field data from this country beset by internal conflicts, especially when the objects have not been, or have been little, explored in the past. Such is the article of Anne Regourd,4 in which three texts dealing with the circular “astronomical table” (al-dā’ira al-falakiyya) are analysed. The fascinating instrument, which was still actively used in practice in Sanaa at the turn of the twenty-first century, but has been mostly overlooked in the ethnographic works, is explored in detail in the study. The work contributes to the study of Yemenite manuscripts. The astronomic tables and the accompanying texts examined in the article have been found in the manuscript collections of Sanaa. The article of Ester Muchawsky-Schnapper5 discovers the interior and the objects of Yemenite synagogues.
