RT journal article T1 Ibn Dāniyāl’s shadow plays in Egypt: The character of Ṭayf al-Khayāl T2 El teatro de sombras chinescas de Ibn Dāniyāl en Egipto: El personaje de Ṭayf al-Ḫayāl A1 Shafik, Ahmed K1 Egipto K1 Época mameluca K1 Siglos XIII-XIV K1 Ibn Dāniyāl K1 Teatro de sombras K1 Personajes K1 Egypt K1 Mamaluk period K1 Thirteenth and fourteenth centuries K1 Shadow play K1 Characters AB The character of Prince Wiṣāl, main hero of the first dramatic piece by Ibn Dāniyāl, hasnot ceased to arouse the interest of critics. Nevertheless, it seems to us that a sufficient attention hasnot been paid to Ṭayf al-Khayāl, confidant of the hero, such that light still needs to be shed ondiverse aspects of Ibn Dāniyāl’s creation. For this reason, using a few folkloric and literarytraditions, I will analyze the figure of Ṭayf al-Khayāl to better outline his relevant peculiarities.
