Davis demonstrates that the public world of kingly authority is shadowed in the poem by a...

Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry: Ibn Al-Rumi and the Patron's Redemption
ISBN: 9780700714902 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Stylized and artistic, making it difficult to read, and not fitting the modern self-absorbed notion of poetry, this important topic has until now largely escaped scholarly attention. The panegyric ocuvre of Ibn al-Rumi, dedicated to the...
