Abstract

shadow play is a type of folk show which has a long history in Islamic civilization. Given that historians did not pay any attention to folk arts, it is no wonder that we do not have any comprehensive research on this dramatic art yet. In this research, we try to study the background of the shadow play in the Islamic civilization, to disclose the hitherto unremarked facts about this dramatic art. This research is based on the historical resources and documents, as well as criticizing the results of previous researchers. The Research findings indicate that the eldest historical evidence in the history of the shadow play goes back to 8th century AD which is an extract of a poem by Abū Nū wā s. This evidence was absent from researches on the subject until now. We also realized that art had been prevalent in these lands, especially during Fatimid and Mamluk periods in Egypt. Besides, we noticed that "khayā l" was a general term in dramatic literature, which signifies imitation but can also refer to shadow play or marionette show. It seems that the various meanings of this term have confused many researchers.
