Abstract

54 Kamāl al-Dīn Abū’l-Barakāt ibn al-Anbārī, Nuzhat al-alibbāʾ: fī ṭabaqāt al-udabāʾ, ed. Ibrahīm al-Samarrāʾī (al-Zarqāʾ: Maktabat al-Manār, 1985), p. 59. Similar reports are found in al-Khaṭīb’s Taʾrīkh Baghdād and Yāqūt’s Muʿjam al-udabāʾ. 55 The Kūfan al-Kisāʾī, who is said to have studied with al-Khalīl, is reported to have been advised by him to seek out the language of the Bedouins of Ḥijāz, Najd and Tihāma; al-Kisāʾī supposedly travelled to these areas, compiling philological records. 56 On the contrary, these modern scholars would have been aware of the so-called ṭuraq taḥammul al-ʿilm which were in place in the classical tradition. 57 Incidentally, the Kufan philologist al-Mufaḍḍal ibn Salama authored a critique of the Kitāb al-ʿayn which was refuted by the Basran Ibn Durastawayhi (d. 346/958). 58 Given the involved nature of the arguments expounded upon in these articles, it is impressive that Uwe Vagelpohl has managed to achieve such an accomplished translation.
