The pre-Islamic warrior-poet 'Antarah ibn Shaddad, a composer of
one of the Mu'allaqat, attracted the attention of the philologists
who were active in Iraq at the nascence of the scholarly study of
Arabic. These philologists collected and studied the diwan of
'Antarah as part of their recovery and codification of the
Jahiliyyah: 'Antarah became one of the Six Poets, a collection of
pre-Islamic poets associated with al-Asma'i, "the father of Arabic
philology." Two centuries later, in al-Andalus, al-Shantamari and
al-Batalyawsi composed their commentaries on the diwans of the Six
Poets. This study uncovers the literary history of 'Antarah's diwan
and presents five editions, with critical apparatus, of the extant
recensions, based on an extensive collation of the surviving
manuscripts. An Arabic edition with English scholarly apparatus.
