A lengthy appendix deals with poets from pre- and early Islamic times who were killed. The stories are entertaining as well as informative. Strikingly, the author refrains from explicit moralising. The present book offers a richly annotated English translation together with an improved Arabic text and indexes of persons, places, and rhymes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface    Introduction   1 The Author   2 Sources on Ibn Ḥabīb   3 Works   4 The Book on Prominent Murder Victims and Poets Who Were Killed   5 Editions   6 The Translation   7 Transliteration   8 Abbreviations in the English   9 Abbreviations in the Notes to the Arabic Text    Text and Translation    Bibliography  List of Sections  Index of Persons, Tribes, Nations, Groups  Geographical Index  Index of Rhymes فهرست القوافي","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210813628759,"sku":"9789004446342","price":126.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/prominent-murder-victims-of-the-pre-and-early-islamic-periods-including-the-names-of-murdered-poets-introduced-edited-translated-from-the-arabic-and-annotated-9789004446342","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
