| description | <p><em>Tufayli </em>was a sponger, an uninvited guest who used to break into private parties, usually weddings, and eat the food which was intended for those who were invited. He is also a hero of the anecdotes of <em>adab </em>literature and this character creates the popular motif in <em>adab </em>works. Al-Jahiz was the first <em>adib </em>who wrote <em>Kitab at-tufayliyyin</em>, the work exclusively devoted to <em>tufaylis</em>, but it has not survived. Up to XI century the anecdotes about <em>tufaylis </em>had been included into many <em>adab </em>anthologies and encyclopedias. In XI century Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi composed his <em>Kitab at-tatfil wa-hikayat at-tufayliyyin wa-akhbaruhum wa-nawadir kalamihim wa-ash’aruhum</em>, the only survived original monograph on uninvited guests. From that time the work had been the main source of stories of <em>tufaylis</em>. Four centuries later Al-Aqfahsi used all the material from Al-Baghdadi’s book and incorporated the anecdotes into his <em>Al-Qawl an-nabil bi-dhikr at-tatfil</em>. But even earlier Ibn al-Jawzi included material from <em>Kitab at-tatfil </em>in chapter on <em>tufaylis </em>– “Fatana al-mutataffalin” – in his <em>Kitab al-adhkiya</em>. The paper shows Ibn al-Jawzi’s method of incorporating the anecdotes in the chapter, analyzes its structure and role in the whole work. It also underlines the influences of al-Baghdadi’s work on <em>Kitab al-adhiya</em>.</p> |
