Does anyone have any sources for translated Arabic medieval documents to base scroll texts on? I’ve been trying to find something suitable for hours and I don’t know if I just don’t have the right search terms or what but I’m driving myself nuts. Any help would be appreciated!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry: Ibn al-Rumi and the patron’s redemption
