by Leon Zolondek (Author)
Dibil b. 'A1 (765-860) was regarded by his contemporaries as one of the best satirists in the school of Arabic poets which flourished during the early 'Abbasid age. Mr. Zolondek has collected, translated, and annotated 229 fragments of Dibil's verse and has assembled materials for a reconstruction of his long-lost yet widely quoted Book of the Poets. Arabic texts of the poems and of the citations of Book of the Poets are included.
