There may also have been a pre-Islamic translation of the Gospels of Christian-Palestinian origin and of which a quotation from Joh. 15, 23–162 is preserved in Ibn Hishām, Sīra 149f. |³⁶³ A.

In volume S1 | book 1, The National Literature of the Arabs | Section 3, The Period of the Umayyads previous chapter | German edition Ghaylān b. ʿUqba received this name on the occasion of his verse in Diw. 22, 8 = Geyer, Dijamben 23, 8. Apparently he started out as a rajaz poet, but when he realised that he was no match for al-ʿAjjāj and Ruʿba (Marzubānī, Muw. 174) he turned to the qaṣīda. It is said that he himself complained about the slowless of his production; the means to continue some half verse supposedly only came to his mind when his eye fell on a silver vessel, some days later (Ibn Jinnī, Khaṣāʾi…

In volume 1 | book 1, The National Literature of the Arabs | Section 2, Muḥammad and His Time previous chapter | German edition Arab paganism, with its primitive worship of power and raw animism, had left deeper spirits dissatisfied for a long time, especially those who had become acquainted with “higher” forms of religion such as Judaism and Christianity. |³³ There are reports about a number of such ḥanīfs1 who, turning away from paganism, had nevertheless not gone so far as to join either of the monotheistic religions. Driven by a stronger kind of religious nee…

Abū Rayḥān Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-Bīrūnī was the most knowledgeable scholar of his time. He grew up using the dialect of his native land of Khwārizm (see p. 656, n. 1), but this proved an obstacle to his education, and so he began to use New Persian instead. However, he seems not to have understood his contemporary Firdawsī’s efforts to create a new kind of literary Persian,1instead regarding Arab…
