Dear Gert,

I don't know what your author may have intended, but a quick search in
the RLIN database produced four different editions, all with this title:

Ghurayyib, Jurj.
Shairat al-Arab fi al-jahiliyah \ Jurj Ghurayyib. -- al-Tabah
1. -- Bayrut : Dar al-Thaqafah, 1984.
280 p. ; 19 cm. --
(Silsilat al-mawsu fi al-adab al-Arabi ; 39)

Saqr, Abd al-Badi.
Shairat al-Arab / jam wa-tahqiq Abd al-Badi Saqr. --
al-Tabah 1. -- [Damascus] : al-Maktab al-Islami, 1967.

Wannus, Ibrahim.
Shairat al-Arab : dirasah tarikhiyah adabiyah / Ibrahim Wannus. --
al-Tabah 1. -- Antilyas : Manshurat Miryam, 1992.

Yamut, Bashir.
Shairat al-Arab fi al-Jahiliyah wa-al-Islam / Bashir Yamut. --
al-Tabah 1. -- Bayrut : Maktabah al-Ahliyah, 1934.

Given the title of your source, I suppose he might have meant either the
Yamut title or the one by Ghurayyib.
