This unique title, The Diwans of Abid ibn al-Abras, of Asad, and
Amir ibn at-Tufail, of Amir ibn Sasaah consists of two collections
of poetry, belonging to the poets al-Abras and at-Tufail, which
were discovered by the British Museum in Beirut in 1907. The
collections were completely new at the time, although certain poems
in each Diwan had been found in other collections. Included for
each poet is an introduction (with biographies) and the
translations of their respective Diwans. In addition, there is an
Arabic portion of the text, containing the original Diwans,
Indexes, and Supplemental poetry attributed to the authors but not
found in the Diwans. This work will be of interest to scholars of
Arabic literature, poetry, and ancient Arabic texts. ABID IBN
AL-ABRAS was a pre-Islamic Arabic poet, known for his association
with the Mu'allaqat, or "The Hanging Poems." This was a collection
of seven works of renowned poetry, compiled by the scholar Hammad
Ar-Rawiya. While al-Abras is included in the group of seven great
poets only some of the time, he is recognized as a contemporary of
Imru' al-Qais (who lived during the 6th century), considered the
greatest of all the poets in the Mu'allaqat. The quality of his
work was recognized by celebrated Persian scholar Ibn Qutaybah, who
named him among the "Seven" in the 9th Century, after it had been
discovered that early versions of the Mu'allaqat had been
misrepresented, and two of the seven poems were sometimes replaced
with others. AMIR IBN AT-TUFAIL was an Arabic nobleman, scholar,
and poet who became a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and was
converted to Islam after hearing his testimony. He was considered a
great scholar and intellect, and his poetry is well-loved for its
beauty. He traveled with Muhammad until his death, preaching and
practicing Islam.
