al-Mannūbiyya, Sayyida ʿĀʾisha

Résumé

Sayyida ʿĀʾisha al-Mannūbiyya (595–665/1199–1267, according to Amri 2008) was a woman of unusual fame in seventh/thirteenth-century Ifrīqiyya, then under Ḥafṣid rule. (The Ḥafṣids were a Berber dynasty, which ruled from 627/1229 to 982/1574 over territories of Ifrīqiya (modern Tunisia) stretching, in its heyday, from the east of modern Algeria to the west of modern Libya). She was one of the few women about whom a hagiography (manāqib) was written. Born in the village of al-Manūba (La Manouba), 6 kilometres west of Tunis, she would travel to that city to study the teachings of the Shādhiliyya Ṣūfīs. The importance of Sayyida al-Manūbiyya goes far beyond mediaeval Ifrīqiyya, as she represents a leading figure of women’s sainthood in Islam.
