Английская Википедия:Ibn Quzman
Шаблон:Short description Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Isa Abd al-Malik ibn Isa ibn Quzman al-Zuhri (Шаблон:Lang-ar; 1087–1160)[1] was the single most famous poet in the history of Al-Andalus and he is also considered to be one of its most original.[2] One of the characteristics of his poetry was "satire, verging on the licentious, aimed at religious experts."[3] He deeply admired his "Eastern predecessor" Abu Nuwas.[4]
Life
He was born and died in Cordoba during the reign of the Almoravids, to a family of possibly Gothic origins, while according to certain scholars he was from an Arab family.[5] as his name suggests and from the fact that he described himself as being blond and blue-eyed in several of his zajals Шаблон:See below.[6][3][5] After leading a lifestyle similar to that of troubadours,[7] traveling to Seville, Granada and Jaén,[3] he became a mosque imam towards the end of his life.[3]
Diwan
Only 149 poems from the Diwan of Ibn Quzman appear in a manuscript in Saint Petersburg, which was the subject of a notice published in 1881. A facsimile edition of it titled Le Divan d'Ibn Guzman was published in 1896 in Berlin by Baron David von Günzburg.[8]
Most of the extant poems are zajals, the genre by which he earned his fame[9] which are characterized by their colloquial language, as well as a typical rhyming scheme: aaab cccb dddb, where b rhymes with a constantly recurring refrain of one or two lines.[10] As noted by James T. Monroe, Шаблон:Blockquote
His approach to life as expressed in these melodious poems, together with their mixed idiom (occasionally using words of the Romance languages), shows a resemblance to the later vernacular troubadour poetry of France.[7]
Translations
The Diwan has been translated in Spanish by Federico Corriente (under the title Cancionero hispanoárabe) and in English by Monroe.
