Description

There are explanatory notes to the poems and a glossary of those words which cannot easily be understood by Arabists (because they are of non-Semitic origin, or because they are rare or have altered their meaning).

Book itself is a tight, clean copy with minor tanning and no evidence of foxing. Hardcover. Published by Cambridge University Press January 1961
