Christian Arabic poetry

[Cecilia Palombo]

Dear Nasca community,

could you recommend any work on Christian Arabic poetry besides Cheikho's Kitab Shu'ara' al-Nasraniyya?

Thanks,

Cecilia

Dear Cecilia,

There have been some recent studies of the pre-Islamic Arab Christian poet 'Adi ibn Zayd:

Dmitriev, Kirill. “An Early Christian Arabic Account of the Creation of the World”. Pages 349-387 in Michael Marx, Angelika Neuwirth and Nicolai Sinai, eds. The Qurʾān in Context: Historical and Literary Investigations into the Qurʾānic Milieu. Leiden: Brill, 2010 [on ʿAdī ibn Zayd al-ʿIbādī]

Dmitriev, Kirill. “Poèticheskaja shkola al-Ḥīry i istoki arabskoj vinnoj poèzii na primere ḳāfiyyi ʿAdī ibn Zajda al-ʿIbādī” [L’école poétique d’al-Ḥīra et les origines de la poésie arabe sur le vin: qāfiyyah de ʿAdī ibn Zayd al-ʿIbādī]. Simvol 58 (2010): 319-339 [with Arabic text and Russian tr.]

Toral-Niehoff, Isabel. “Eine arabische poetische Gestaltung des Sündenfalls: Das vorislamische Schöpfungsgedicht des ʿAdî b. Zayd”. Pages 235-256 in D. Hartwig et al., eds. “Im vollen Licht der Geschichte”: Die Wissenschaft des Judentums und die Anfänge der kritischen Koranforschung. Würzburg: Ergon, 2008.

Additionally, Samuel Noble has a chapter with translations from the Diwan of Sulayman al-Ghazzi (an 11th century Melkite bishop and poet) in Noble, Samuel, and Alexander Treiger, eds. The Orthodox Church in the Arab World (700-1700): An Anthology of Sources. Foreword by Metropolitan Ephrem Kyriakos. DeKalb: Northern Illinois University Press, 2014.

Warm regards,

Sasha

Cecilia, 

On Sulayman al-Ghazzi, you find an extensive bibliography in the article "Sulaïman al-Gazzi" in Wikipedia (fr). The volumes of Bishop Neophytos EDELBY (in Arabic with French introduction), published by the CEDRAC in the series "Patrimoine Arabe Chrétien" vol. 7, 8 and 8 are the most important for his poetry.

Fr. Samir

Dear Abuna Samir and dear Sasha,

Thanks for your advice! I will look into Sulayman al-Ghazzi (I was looking for poetry from the Islamic period).

Best,

Cecilia

Dear Cecilia,

 

I have just finished an article in Italian on ‘Adi Ibn Zayd for “Quaderni di Studi Arabi”. It is about his celebrated ode on the palace of Khawarnaq, whose incipit is a rawahun muwaddi’un am bukuru? Anta fa-‘lam ila ayyi halin tasiru.

 

The article will be published by the end of the year, but, if you wish so, I can send you privately a pre-view of it.

 

Bests,

Dear Martino,

I'm currently finishing a translation and a commentary of Adi ibn Zayd's notice in Kitâb al-Aghânî. Is it still okay to have a pre-view of it ?
