Information About

Ibn Abd Rabbih




More widely known than his poetry is his great anthology, the ''`Iqd al-Farid'' (The Precious Necklace), a work divided into 25 sections. The 13th section is named the middle jewel of the necklace, and the chapters on either side are named after other jewels. It is an Adab book resembling Ibn Qutaybah 's ''`Uyun al-akhbar'', from which it borrows largely.
