A Papyrus Fragment Related to Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih’s al-ʿIqd al-farīd*

This article presents an edition and a translation of a papyrus fragment from the Beinecke Library at Yale (P.CtYBR inv. 2598), together with a brief commentary. This literary fragment, containing two verses of poetry, is interesting because it provides an oriental source for a text until then known only through the famous Andalusian work of Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih, al-ʿIqd al-farīd; it also serves as an example of an informal mode of written transmission of Arabic poetry.

Further to the Pre-Muḥammadan Allāh

This article is concerned with the divinity of Allāh before Muḥammad. It is focussed on narrow and broad issues of method, and particularly on inferential evidence for the incidence and nature of this divinity on the evidence of Arabic poetry. It casts a critical look on retrojection Islamic theological concepts to the interpretation of earlier Arabic poetry, and proposes that the now common notion of “pagan monotheism” refers to no actually existing form of religious practice among pre-Muḥammadan Arabs. It reaffirms the salience of polytheism among the Arabs, and the pertinence of concrete historical evidence and of an anthropological sensibility in this domain. La présente étude porte sur une divinité nommée Allāh avant Muḥammad. Elle se concentre sur la question méthodologique des témoignages poétiques, sur l’envergure et la nature de cette divinité, et sur le contexte plus général des questions de méthode. Elle jette un regard critique sur la projection a posteriori des notions théologiques islamiques dans le cadre des analyses déductives fondées sur la matière poétique. Elle propose que l’idée, bien répandue dans des milieux universitaires, des « monothéistes païens » parmi les Arabes ne fait pas référence à la réalité historique des pratiques religieuses des Arabes avant Muḥammad. Elle souligne l’importance du polythéisme chez les Arabes et la pertinence décisive des données historiques concrètes et d’une sensibilité anthropologique dans ce domaine.

“These Hearts, Can They Reach Tranquility?”

The article examines the Arabic literary poetry written by Iraqi Jews in Israel during the 1950s after their immigration from Iraq. This temporal revival of Arabic poetry by Jews was the swan song of the Arab-Jewish culture as we are currently witnessing its demise– a tradition that started more than fifteen hundred years ago is vanishing before our eyes. Until the twentieth century, the great majority of the Jews under the rule of Islam adopted Arabic as their language; now Arabic is gradually disappearing as a language mastered by Jews.

This research paper aims to study some Arabic poetic verses through an argumentative approach of the poetic self-image, which poets draw about themselves inside and outside the poetic utterance. The poet aims through his poetry to convey a specific message, and to convince his addressees of it. The interest in studying Arabic poetry comes from being a discourse, carrying what is pragmatic, through which the seeker intends to persuade, prove or increase the evidence. Hence, the poet’s messages need argumentative mechanisms that make the recipients convinced of what is offered to them. Among the most famous of these argumentative mechanisms is the "ethos", which is the image that the poet draws about himself by means of linguistic and non-linguistic structures and patterns. We have tried to clarify the argumentative dimension of the self-image in poetry by presenting the characteristics of the poetic self and its images that are presented in its poetry to their addressees through the values it employs such as loyalty, generosity and courage… We have concluded that Arabic poetry is a discourse about worthy of study and analysis in terms of self-image, to reveal About the "Ethos", due to its noble human values. Keywords: Ethos, Poetry, Pilgrims, Values.
