Title
A name given to the resource
The Maqamat al-Hariri, or The Collection of Stories of al-Hairi
Subject
The topic of the resource
The manuscript contains the epic poems of the poet al-Hariri, which tells of the adventures of Abu Zayd and narrated by a merchant named al-Harith who travels with Zayd. These “sessions” reveal Zayd's impressive mastery of the Arabic language and his use of riddles and puns throughout his travels. Unlike much Islamic art, this secular work contains figural imagery that is delightful and fanciful, matching the tone of adventure of the tales.
