A Reader of Classical Arabic Literature

More about the book

A Reader of Classical Arabic Literature is one of a very small group of resources in English for the teaching of intermediate and advanced level classical Arabic. Based on his lecture notes, the late Seeger Bonebakker designed a superb teaching text, which he then asked his UCLA colleague, Michael Fishbein, to help him annotate and augment. The result is a truly valuable reader, one used widely in the United States and Europe, featuring judicious and instructive selections from such works as Ibn al-Qifti's Inbah al-ruwat , al-Tanukhi's al-Faraj ba'd al-shidda , and al-Dhahabi's Siyar a'lam al-nubala' , among others.
