An acknowledged master of Arabic eloquence and a sage of Islamic wisdom, 'Ali was renowned for his eloquence: his words were collected, quoted, and studied over the centuries, and extensively anthologized, excerpted, and interpreted.Of the many compilations of 'Ali’s words, A Treasury of Virtues, compiled by the Fatimid Shafi'i judge al-Quda'i (d. 454/1062), arguably possesses the broadest compass of genres and the largest variety of themes. Included are aphorisms, proverbs, sermons, speeches, homilies, prayers, letters, dialogues, and verse, all of which provide instruction on how to be a morally upstanding human being. The shorter compilation included here, One Hundred Proverbs, is attributed to the eminent writer al-Jahiz (d. 255/869). This volume presents the first English translation of both of these important collections.An English-only edition.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: al-Qāḍī al-QuḍāʿīTranslator: Tahera QutbuddinContributor: Tahera Qutbuddin (Translated by), Rowan Williams (Foreword by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Library of Arabic LiteratureTopic: History, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
