Wilferd Madelung
<s>Wilferd Ferdinand Madelung (Stuttgart, 26. 12. 1930. – 9. 5. 2023), njemački historičar i orijentalist, specijaliziran za islamske studije i srednjovjekovnu islamsku historiju.</s><s>Obrazovao se u Egiptu i Njemačkoj, a nakon kratke diplomatske karijere radio je kao profesor u Sjedinjenim Državama i Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu.</s><s>Potpisuje više od 400 članaka, osvrta, recenzija i knjiga te predstavlja jednog od najproduktivnijih suvremenih islamologa.</s>

<s>Biografija 
Madelung je rođen 1930. u Stuttgartu u tadašnjoj Weimarskoj Njemačkoj i u rodnom gradu pohađao je Gimnaziju Eberharda Ludwiga.</s><s>Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, kao tinejdžer zajedno s roditeljima 1946. seli u Sjedinjene Države gdje mu je otac Georg Hans (1889–1972) nastavio karijeru stručnjaka za aeronautiku.</s><s>Studij je započeo na Univerzitetu Georgetown u Washingtonu, a 1950. (ili 1951) odlazi u Egipat i tri godine studira na Univerzitetu u Kairu.</s><s>Godine 1953. stekao je titulu prvostupnika arapske književnosti i islamske historije.</s><s>Također, u Kairu je ovladao klasičnim arapskim jezikom.</s><s>Madelung je bio student eminentnog egipatskog profesora M. K. Huseina (1901–1961) koji mu je probudio interes za fatimidsku historiju i ismailizam, tematiku koja će kasnije postati fokus njegove doktorske teze.</s><s>Godine 1957. pod mentorstvom prof. B. Spulera na Univerzitetu u Hamburgu obranio je doktorsku disertaciju "Karmati i Fatimidi: međusobni odnosi i doktrina imamata" ().</s><s>Jedan od njegovih predavača u Hamburgu bio je istaknuti orijentalist R. Strothmann.</s>

<s>Od 1958. do 1960.</s><s>Madelung se okušao u diplomatskoj karijeri, radeći kao zapadnonjemački kulturni ataše u iračkom Bagdadu.</s><s>Njegov drugi boravak u Arapskom svijetu ponovo se odvijao u turbulentnim političkim vremenima i svjedočio je iračkoj revoluciji 14. jula, isto kao i ranije egipatskoj revoluciji 23. jula.</s><s>Istovremeno s diplomatskom započeo je i svoju izuzetno plodnu naučno-istraživačku karijeru.</s><s>Madelungove inicijalne publikacije bave se ranim ismailitskim doktrinama i odnosima egipatskih Fatimida i bahreinskih karmata, a baziraju se na njegovom doktoratu.</s><s>Ova dva dugačka članka na njemačkom jeziku objavljena su u časopisu Der Islam 1959. odnosno 1961. godine i u to doba predstavljala su originalni doprinos ismailitskim studijama, dok su vremenom stekli status paradigme.</s><s>Godine 1963. zaposlio se kao gostujući profesor islamistike na američkom Univerzitetu u Teksasu u Austinu, gdje je upoznao asistenticu Alice Margaret Arent (r. 1926).</s><s>Par se vjenčao 24. augusta iste godine u zapadnonjemačkom Uffing am Staffelseeu i 28. jula 1970. u Chicagu rodio im se sin jedinac Michael Lynton George.</s>

<s>Godine 1964.</s><s>Madelung započinje dugogodišnji rad na Univerzitetu u Chicagu gdje je prvo bio asistent, zatim od 1966. do 1968. pomoćni profesor, te konačno od 1969. do 1978. redovni profesor islamskih studija.</s><s>Nakon trogodišnje stanke, dolaskom u Chicago nastavlja objavljivati članke i recenzije za naučne časopise kao što su Der Islam, Oriens, Journal of the American Oriental Society (JAOS) i Journal of Near Eastern Studies (JNES).</s><s>Od 1965. počeo je pisati i enciklopedijske članke za drugo izdanje Encyclopaedia of Islam (EI2) i njegovi prvi osvrti su skupno objavljeni 1971. u trećem tomu, a doprinosio je i za sljedeće tomove.</s><s>Članci mu pokrivaju široki spektar srednjovjekovnih tema od Sjeverne Afrike i Jemena do istočnog Irana.</s><s>Godine 1975. uredio je poglavlje o manjim iranskim dinastijama za četvrti tom serije The Cambridge History of Iran.</s><s>Akademsku karijeru u Sjedinjenim Državama okončao je 1978. kada preuzima prestižnu poziciju Laudovog profesora arapskog () na britanskom Univerzitetu u Oxfordu, zamijenivši A. F. L. Beestona.</s><s>U isto vrijeme postao je i članom oksfordskog Koledža sv. Ivana.</s>

<s>Madelung se pri povratku u Evropu snažnije angažirao u pisanju monografija, prijevoda i uređivanju knjiga.</s><s>Uz nastavak doprinosa za EI2, pisao je i za druge referentne zbirke uključujući medievalističku enciklopediju Lexikon des Mittelalters (1982), iranističku enciklopediju Encyclopædia Iranica (od 1985), serijal Grundriss der arabischen Philologie o Arapskom svijetu (1987) i opću enciklopediju World Book Encyclopedia (2010).</s><s>Glavne teme njegovih naučno-istraživačkih djela bile su vjerski pokreti srednjovjekovnog islama, primarno šijitskih poput zejdizma, ismailizma, imamizma, ali i manje poznati aspekti sunizma, haridžizma i mutezilizma.</s><s>Godine 1997. objavio je monumentalno historiografsko djelo o nasljedstvu Muhameda () u kojem analizira sve postojeće primarne izvore o ranom kalifatu.</s><s>Knjiga je dobila višestruke pohvale u akademskim krugovima, uključujući iransku nagradu za knjigu godine, ali i određene kritike zbog naglašenog otklona od konvencionalne interpretacije ranoislamske historije jer su mu zaključci bliži (manjinskoj) šijitskoj perspektivi.</s><s>U međuvremenu je radio kao gostujući profesor na Univerzitetu u Torontu i Američkom univerzitetu u Bejrutu, a na Univerzitetu u Oxfordu i pridruženom Orijentalnom institutu zadržao se punih dvadeset godina, sve do 1998. kada je profesuru preuzeo G. J. van Gelder.</s><s>Sljedeće godine Madelung je postao članom Britanske akademije.</s>

<s>Nakon Oxforda, Madelung je prešao na londonski Institut za ismailitske studije (IIS) gdje je plodnu naučnu suradnju ostvario s F. Daftarijem.</s><s>Pod njihovim uredništvom 2008. izdan je prvi od 16 planiranih tomova Encyclopaedia Islamica, engleskog prijevoda iranske Velike enciklopedije islama.</s><s>Od sredine 2000-ih Madelung je također počeo surađivati s A. al-Salimijem i Institutom za napredna istraživanja (IAS) iz Princetona, uređujući historijske tekstove i kritička izdanja na temu ibadizma.</s><s>Godine 2003.</s><s>Daftari je objavio sveobuhvatnu listu od 375 Madelungovih radova koja je u to vrijeme sadržavala 15 knjiga (uključujući uredničke), 60 članaka u naučnim časopisima i poglavljima zbirki, 130 enciklopedijskih članaka i preko 160 recenzija.</s><s>Osim izuzetne produktivnosti, Daftari istovremeno ističe i iznimnu kvalitetu i originalnost Madelungovih djela.</s><s>M. G. Morony je u svojoj uredničkoj zbirci nadopunio navedenu listu s još 13 monografija i 23 članka, objavljenih u periodu od 2001. do 2012. godine.</s><s>Međunarodne nagrade i priznanja koje je Madelung dobio su stipendija Guggenheim (1972) i medalja Giorgio Levi Della Vida za izvrsnost u islamistici (2007) koju dodjeljuje Centar Gustave E. von Grunebaum za bliskoistočne studije.</s>
