Mohsen Zakeri, 1954-2024. A great philologist and a generous colleague, perhaps the first scholar to seriously investigate the premodern Persian-Arabic literary-historical interface in a series of fundamental articles on translation, aphorisms, and history uni-goettingen.academia.edu/…

"The translation itself was magisterially prepared by Anna Bailey Galietti, translator extraordinaire. Anna was an ideal choice as a formidable Francophile and a fellow scholar of early Islam."

اشتهر ابن تيمية بإنكاره لوقوع #المجاز في اللغة، بيد أن النظرة الفاحصة لآرائه في الموضوع تكشف عن تبصّر فلسفي في مقاربته لثنائية #الحقيقة_والمجاز، التي هي أعمق مما يبدو من النظرة السطحية لمعارضيه في سوء تصورهم لرأيه على أنه مجرد إنكار تعسفي لوقوع المجاز

The Shidyaq translation will last for centuries. Unsurpassable!
Beautiful tribute to Humphrey by @nanaasfour.
“To date, I have been fortunate enough to be able to consult almost all the living authors whose works I have translated,” he said, adding, “I have questions for the dead, too, when I meet them.”

I was translating these lines of al-Khansa when I heard about Etel. Let them be for her. Let it be too much.

"It is only European history & romantic nationalism & borders & the post-Westphalian state that creates the assumption that there is failure in translation. That when you take something from one country to another, you lose some essence." arablit.org/2021/11/08/alexa…
