conc
Morphologically, ḥikāyaẗ is a vn. I, from ↗ḥakà, in the pass./resultative meaning of ‘what is imitated’ [v2] or ‘what is reported, told’ [v1].
hist
▪ Following D. B. MacDonald in EI¹ II:321 ff., Fück (1950: 114) characterizes the value, found in Ibn al-Nadīm’s Fihrist (comp. 377 AH), of ḥikāyaẗ as ‘Darstellung, Bericht’, developed from the more general ‘Wiedergabe’, as »nachklassisch« (post-classical). MacDonald »considers that the cause of the evolution [▪ …] must be sought in the influence of the Aristotelian doctrine of mímēsis in art (Poetics, i-iv); indeed Mattā b. Yūnus, in his translation of the Poetics [▪ …] uses the word ḥikāyaẗ to translate mímēsis « – Ch. Pellat, in art. »Ḥikāya«, EI².
