Articles relating to the maqama, an (originally) Arabic prosimetric literary genre of picaresque short stories originating in the tenth century C.E. The maqāmāt are anecdotes told by a fictitious narrator which typically follow the escapades of a roguish protagonist. The illustrations tend to share formal qualities with the art of shadow play.
