Wolfhart Heinrichs’ Essays and Articles on Arabic Literature
showcases a great number of Heinrichsʼ writings in two volumes on
his central field of research on Arabic literature, Semitic
Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence. Wolfhart Heinrichs (1941-2014)
was James Richard Jewett Professor of Arabic at Harvard University.
He is remembered as a significant adviser to Fuat Sezginʼs
fundamental Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums, and as an editor
of and contributor to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second edition,
and, most importantly, as an author of many independent studies on
Arabic literature, many of them ground-breaking in the history of
Arabic philology. He is also known for his studies on Semitic
Linguistics and Islamic Jurisprudence. Both volumes collect
relevant bibliographical data, offer an introductory essay on the
author by his distinguished student, Michael Cooperson (UCLA), and
provide a selection of Wolfhart Heinrichs’ essays surrounding
particular themes. The first volume looks at poetry and rhetoric,
and their indigenous theories and terminologies. The second volume
includes writings on Arabic literature, Semitic Studies, and
Islamic Jurisprudence. The two volumes will appeal to students and
researchers in the field of Arabic and Islamic Studies, and
particularly to those interested in Arabic literature.
