After living twelve years in Oman he went to Persia , and, under the protection of the governor, `Abdallah Ibn Mahommed Ibn Mikal , and his son, Ismail, wrote his chief works. In 920 he went to Baghdad , where he received a pension from the '' Caliph '' Moqtadir . The ''Maqsurah'', a poem praising Ibn Mikal and his son, has been edited by A. Haitsma ( 1773 ), E. Scheidius ( 1786 ), and N. Boyesen ( 1828 ). Various commentaries on the poem exist in manuscript (cf. C. Brockelmann, Gesch. der arab. lit., i. 211 ff., Weimar, 1898). The ''Jamhara fi 'l-lugha'' is a large Dictionary written in Persian (published in Hyderabad, India, 4 vol. 1926-30). Another work is the ''Kitab ul-Ishtiqaq'' (" Etymology "), edited by F. Wüstenfeld (Gottingen, 1854); it was written in opposition to the anti-Arabian party to show the etymological connection of the Arabian tribal names. REFERENCES |
