Kashf al-Ma'ani wa al-Bayan 'an Rasa'il Badi' al-Zaman.

Descripción

545 pp., Arabic text, half-title, modern hard back binding, new end papers, few wormholes on margins, occasional spotting, otherwise in overall good condition. Al-Hamadhani (968-1008 CE) was given the nickname ??Badi' al-Zaman?? (The Wonder of the Age) in recognition of his mastery of Arabic prose in the high style. Although he wrote a number of works, including a set of rasa'il (epistles), he is remembered chiefly as the writer who managed to combine different narrative features into an entirely new genre: the maqamah (the name of the genre being derived from the idea of ??standing??, and thus perhaps contrasted with the institution of majlis, a name that implies an ??evening session??). #35315. N° de ref. del artículo 000458
