Manuscript of Kalila Wa Dimmna
Manuscript of Kalila Wa Dimmna
•Manuscript of Kalila Wa Dimmna By Abdulla Ibin Muqqaffa.•Studied and written by Dr.Yahiya Ibn Junaid.The second oldest illustrated copy known of Kalilawa Dimna is the one of the late King Faisal binAbdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy upon his soul.This copy is currently preserved in King FaisalCenter for Research and Islamic Studies. It wastranscribed in 747 Hijra. including its 96 miniatures.This magnificent copy represents the models of the Mamluke portrayal school and,the general pattern of the manuscript reveals that it waswritten in an elegant and refined Neskhi script, calledNaskhi Warraqi, with each page comprises 15 linesin average, while some words are fully vocalized,and there are some marginal commentaries andnotes on a number of pages. The miniatures andornaments are perfectly executed and their colourswere skillfully used. Each miniature expressesdirectly the main line of each one of the tales. Itis noticed that the miniatures or portrays includedin this copy are mentioned within the context ingeneral rather than referring to specific places.Theminiatures are mostly preceded by titles to explaintheir contents, such as (the portray of Dimna talkingto the Ox) (the portray of a man digging the treasureand other men moving it)... etc.Looking analytically at drawing no.1 (a man diggingthe treasure) we see the motion of portrayingpersons which is very close to reality in showing themotion of the foot, the hands' movement, the faceexpressions in addition to the different garments ofpeople in the miniature. The various colours usedhave added a strong sense of harmony between thevariant aspects of the miniature.Among the nice drawings is the one that represents aconversation between a man and a bird. It shows theman riding a moving horse while pointing his fingerat the bird which is listening to him carefully whilethe horse is in a state of movement.There are, moreover, two plants in front andbehind the horse. Another miniature, representing aconversation between Dimna and the Ox, showingDimna standing on a high place while addressingthe humble and all ears Ox. The Ox was drawn inred colour with two golden horns and a golden ropewith a golden bell hanging from its neck. Anotherfine miniature, representing a lion attacking adonkey at its back side while there is a jackalwaiting to have his share. The artist skill isexceedingly obvious in portraying the donkeyin a state of panic and fear by turning his headtowards the lion. Among other fine miniaturesin King Faisal's copy, is a miniature portrayinga lion, a wolf and a crow preying upon a camel.It is almost the same miniature that one findsin the McGill University's copy but with onlyone difference; the McGill University'scopy contains a crow, while King Faisal'scopy contains a jackal instead. Thisparticular miniature of King Faisal's copyis artistically well executed by the artist;therefore, it is artistically far superior inquality and design than the miniature of theMcGill University's copy.The last fine miniature but not the least is aminiature showing, a monkey on a tree anda male tortoise lifting his head in the seawhile conversing with each other.The artist's interest in nature seems toconcentrate on portraying the tree in a waymuch minute than the animals.Most of the miniatures in this copy are highlyexpressive, precise and of high value amongsimilar artworks of Arabic manuscripts.At the colophon we find the signature ofthe copier and the date of transcription. At thiscolophon, we read the following: "the book ofKalila wa Dimna was completed on the 26th ofSafar, 747 Hijra. May Allah's peace and blessingsbe upon our Prophet Muhammad, His Household,His Companions, His Wives, and His virtuousdescendants and upon those who righteouslyfollow them till the day of Judgment. Writtenby the most insignificant among Allah's servantsand the most needy to His mercy; Muhammadibn Ali ibn Salim ibn Ahmed al-Hanafi, mayAllah forgive them all».Verily, this unique copy of Kalila wa Dimna,with its miniatures and its complete colophonmake it one of the most precious copy so farknown all over the world.This reflects the deep knowledge and interest ofthe late king Faisal about the Arabic and Islamicheritage. Only a person of a very fine taste andof a special appreciation of the Islamic artswould acquire such a copy.•Manuscript of Kalila Wa Dimmna By Abdulla Ibin Muqqaffa.Studied and written by Dr.Yahiya Ibn Junaid.

With a doctorate in climatology from the University of London, Queen Mary College, England, Dr. Ball's comprehensive background in the field includes a strong focus on the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Dr. Ball is a researcher/author of scientific papers on a range of environmental issues. He has recently (December 06) co-authored a paper for the scientific journal, Ecological Complexity, with Baliunas, Dyck, Soon, Baydack, Legates, and Hancock entitled Polar bears of western Hudson Bay and climate change: Are warming spring air temperatures the "ultimate" survival control factor? He is also co-author of the book Eighteenth Century Naturalists of Hudson Bay (2004 - McGill/Queens University Press) with Dr. Stuart Houston, one of the World's leading authorities on arctic birds.Dr. Ball is a leader in the current global warming debate and appears regularly as a guest on radio and television - click here to watch one of his recent appearances on Fox TV's "Hannity and Colmes"; click here to listen to his June 9, 2007 radio interview on the Nick at Night on CFRA Radio in Ottawa, Ontario.Dr. Ball is also published frequently in leading newspapers and magazines across Canada and, increasingly, the U.S. and abroad A measure of Dr. Ball's impact was seen recently when, after one of his pieces was featured on the Drudge Report, a leading on-line news service (click here to see original piece), he received approximately 1,000 e-mails from the general public during the next 24 hours, 90% of which were supportive.

His entertaining, yet solidly science-based description of the current climate change controversy has resulted in him being a much sought after speaker continent-wide. Recognizing the different knowledge-levels and interests of particular audiences, Dr. Ball specially tunes his talks to appeal to listeners and, as a consequence, is regular repeat presenter for many groups. Dr. Ball's compelling presentation style and scientific expertise has resulted in his inclusion as a scientific advisor and lead participant in a number of recent made-for-TV climate change videos, The Great Global Warming Swindle shown on TV4 on March 8th in the U.K. being the most recent example.

Hubert Reeves, Astrophysicien Canadien (Québécois)
Hubert Reeves, né le 13 juillet 1932 à Montréal, est un astrophysicien canadien (québécois). Il est marié à Camille Scoffier-Reeves.Hubert Reeves fait ses études classiques chez les Jésuites, au Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. Inscrit à la faculté des Sciences de l'Université de Montréal, il obtient un baccalauréat es sciences en physique (1953), puis il présente, à l'Université McGill, un mémoire de maîtrise intitulé Formation of Positronium in Hydrogen and Helium (1955). Il poursuit ses études en astrophysique nucléaire à l'Université Cornell (Ithaca, N.Y.), où il soutient sa thèse de doctorat (1960): Thermonuclear Reaction Involving Medium Light Nuclei. De 1960 à 1964, il enseigne la physique à l'Université de Montréal, tout en étant conseiller scientifique à la NASA. Depuis 1965, il vit en France, où il est directeur de recherches au CNRS.En 1971, il publie avec deux de ses étudiants, J. Audouze et M. Meneguzzi, un article[1] fondamental concernant la nucléosynthèse stellaire. Quatorze ans après le célèbre article B2FH, cet article permettait de combler le vide existant entre les éléments fabriqués lors du Big Bang ( H, He et quelques traces de Li) et ceux produits lors de la vie des étoiles, soit tous ceux situés après le carbone dans le Tableau périodique des éléments de Dmitri Mendeleïev. Tout comme B2FH, cet article clef est plus connu sous les initiales de ses auteurs: MAR.L'un des élèves de Hubert Reeves, Jean Audouze, a été directeur de l'Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, directeur de la Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie et directeur du Palais de la découverte.Hubert Reeves consacre cependant un tiers de son temps à la vulgarisation, comme de nombreux autres collègues, dont Jean-Louis Heudier: « Je crois, dit-il, que la communication du savoir est au moins aussi importante que l'avancement des connaissances : il est malsain et parfois dangereux de cultiver le secret mandarinal autour de la science ».Ses principaux ouvrages, Patience dans l'azur, Poussières d'étoiles et l'Heure de s'enivrer, ont connu un énorme succès et ont été traduits dans plusieurs langues. Son avant-dernier livre, Mal de Terre, est un constat inquiétant mais non alarmiste de l'état de la Terre. Le dernier ouvrage reprend quant à lui le texte de ses chroniques hebdomadaires diffusées sur France Culture depuis l'automne 2003.Par ailleurs, Hubert Reeves participe à des émissions télévisées de vulgarisation scientifique, dont la plus emblématique est sans doute la Nuit des étoiles, diffusée sur la chaîne publique française France 2.Depuis 2001 il préside la Ligue ROC pour la préservation de la faune sauvage et la défense des non-chasseurs, association française loi 1901 reconnue d'utilité publique. Il est membre du comité de parrainage de la Coordination française pour la Décennie de la culture de paix et de non-violence.En 2007, certaines de ses pensées sont utilisées dans l'album Du simple au néant, des Ogres de Barback.
