On 7 September 2024, Stefanie Brinkmann presented the paper “The Circulation and Reception of al-Baghawī’s Maṣābīḥ al-sunna and its Commentary Tradition” on the German-Japanese bilateral conference “Textual Transmission in the Islamic Manuscript Age” (5-7 September 2024, University of Münster, organised by Philip Bockholt and Yui Kanda). The conference addressed various aspects of transmission and reception for literatures from c. 1300 to 1800 Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent, such as translations, adaptations, revisions, versions, the circulation of texts, and copying practices. Stefanie Brinkmann’s lecture presented key categories to trace the circulation and popularity of commentaries written on al-Baghawī’s hadith collection Maṣābīḥ al-sunna.
