The qasidah and the qit'ah are well known to scholars of classical
Arabic literature, but the maqtu', a form of poetry that emerged in
the thirteenth century and soon became ubiquitous, is as obscure
today as it was once popular. These poems circulated across the
Arabo-Islamic world for some six centuries in speech, letters,
inscriptions, and, above all, anthologies. Drawing on more than a
hundred unpublished and published works, How Do You Say "Epigram"
in Arabic? is the first study of this highly popular and adaptable
genre of Arabic poetry. By addressing this lacuna, the book models
an alternative comparative literature, one in which the history of
Arabic poetry has as much to tell us about epigrams as does Greek.
