Dear Colleagues,

To some of you it may not be new, but I found a beautiful new tool in
the
market in Egypt. It is a CD called al-Mawsuu`a al-Shi`riyya containing
4,200,000 verses of Arabic poetry from Jahiliyya to 1952. It also has
astonishing reference possibilities to a number of dictionaries and
even cross
references (like finding the word kawaasiyaa in art. HTK in the
Lisaan). It
fails to mention sources though.

For more information: www.cultural.org.ae.

This CD is offered at the present International Book Fair in Cairo for
10
Egyptian pounds, which equals approximately 1.2 Euro. Run!

Gert Borg,
director of the Netherlands Flemish Institute in Cairo
