Subject:Needs Classical and Middle Arabic corpus

Dear list members,

I would like your advice regarding available corpora of written Classical
and Middle Arabic. In my new research, I would like to compare
demonstrative forms in Modern Standard Arabic with those in Classical and
Middle Arabic. For MSA, I have a half a million corpus from different text
categories (news articles, literary essays, fiction, sports, etc.). For
Classical Arabic, I intend to use the Quran but need more data as well. And
I would appreciate your suggestions for a corpus of Middle Arabic.

Thanks a lot in advance.
