<dc:description xml:lang="it">Questo lavoro si propone di analizzare le produzioni escatologiche musulmane e cristiane redatte nei due secoli successivi alla nascita dell&#39;Islam. Se da parte cristiana la dirompente espansione delle truppe musulmane fu interpretata come segno di tribolazione apocalittica, allo stesso modo, da parte musulmana, in tempi di conflitti esterni e interni, si sviluppò una vitale produzione di tradizioni escatologiche, come testimoniato dal Kitāb al-Fitan di Nuʿaym b. Ḥammād (m. 843), di cui si riporta la traduzione di circa 300 tradizioni. 
Il presente volume intende evidenziare quali siano i temi comuni alle due tradizioni escatologiche, e come sia avvenuta l&#39;adozione da parte di queste di un comune schema di comprensione metastorica degli eventi. La prospettiva comparativa permette infatti di individuare numerosi rimandi diretti fra queste tradizioni (e quella ebraica). 
Si fa, infine, un breve cenno all&#39;uso contemporaneo di queste tradizioni e alla duratura impronta che l&#39;escatologia lascia sulla visione geografica del mondo.</dc:description>

  
<dc:description xml:lang="en">This book analyses the eschatological productions, both Christian and Muslim, written in the two centuries after the birth of Islam. In works such as the Syriac apocalypses of Pseudo-Methodius and Pseudo-Ezra the sudden expansion of Muslim troops was mainly perceived by Eastern Christians as an apocalyptic trial, a sign of the End of Time. On the Muslim side, the main eschatological collection, the Kitāb al-Fitan by Nuʿaym b. Ḥammād (d. 843), shows the existence of a vital apocalyptic production which rose in correspondence to times of internal and external strife. 
This work wishes to survey some of the main themes common to both of these eschatological productions (such as the apocalyptic depiction of the enemy, the development of messianic figures, the role of Jerusalem in the end-time, etc.); the use of a comparative perspective bears a fundamental theoretical contribution, by highlighting the presence of direct references between the different traditions, but also by underlining the common processes of eschatological production and development. 
Some final remarks deal with the contemporary use of these traditions, made by both Muslim and Christian fundamentalists, who look for a prophesied roadmap to read the current world events.</dc:description>
