Hawi l-Funun (Encompasser of the Arts) of Ibn al-Tahhan (d. ca.

accomplished singer, lutenist and composer. The first part in 80

characteristics, unison and duet singing, taking care of the voice;
preludes, ornaments, tarab; the importance of tonality; approaches
to teaching; musical and extra-musical behavior at the court; names
of Syrian Fatimid and Ishshidid singers. The second part in 22
chapters includes lute manufacturing, frets placement, stringing
and tuning; 47 rhythmic ornaments, names and definitions of
rhythmic and melodic modes; types of dances; descriptions of 12
instruments.
