Ahlan wa Sahlan:
I am trying to find any resources (translations, editions,
studies etc.) dealing with classical Arabic poetry... both
religious poets (Hassan bin Thabit [rad]) or the other great
names... Al-Motannaby, etc. There seem to be no translation other
then Nicholson's easily available, nor does there seem any thing
comparable to Thackston's "Millennium of Persian Poetry". Any
help in this will be, as always, most appreciated...
Thanks
ARGoldman
