al-Jahiz bibliography

The bibliography of ʻAmr ibn Baḥr al-Jāḥiẓ (ca. 773 - 869) are the titles listed in chapter five of al-Fihrist of Isḥāq al-Nadīm (d. ca. 998). Most of Chap. V, §1 survives only in the Beatty MS and is published in the English edition by Bayard Dodge (New York, 1970). An incomplete list is found also in the Irshād al-Arīb alā Ma’rifat al-Adīb ('Dictionary of Learned Men') by Yāqūt al-Hamawī (1179-1229).[1][2][3][4]

Notes
  1. Al-Fihrist gives a list of the first and last words of the different sections of Kitāb al-Ḥayawān.
  2. Title given incorrectly by Yāqūt, Irshād, VI (6), 75. See modern edition Kitāb al-Qawl fī al-Bighāl ('Le Livre des mulets'), ed., Pellat, 1955.
  3. Abū ‘Abd Allāh Aḥmad Ibn Abī Dā'ūd (d. 854) of Damascus. He went to Baghdād before 833, was appointed qāḍī (judge) by al-Mu’taṣim and vizier by al-Mutawakkil. He died in disgrace.
  4. the Beatty MS gives this title but Yāqūt gives Kitāb al-Zar’ wa-al-Nahl ('The Book of Sowing and the Bees')[9]
  5. Al-Nadīm notes that of two extant manuscripts, the second was more accurate and excellent;
  6. al-istiṭā‘ah; man’s ability to appropriate a foreordained action. Khalq al-af‘āl divine “creation of actions,” before man appropriates them.[16]
  7. al-‘āshiq (“the amorous”) omitted in Yāqūt (see n. 131). The other words mean literally, “increasing and vanishing.”[17]
  8. Abbreviation of nardashīr, a type of boardgame like checkers or backgammon. See Shatranj
  9. The repetition of kīmiyā’ may be an error. [22]
  10. Qawlīyah may signify “multitude” in Biblical sense, or an unidentified sect, or “mob”.
  11. This and the preceding book may have been listed as works of al-Jāḥiẓ. The word ṣifāt “qualities” in this title and the fourth to follow, is probably meant, although the ā is not given in its long form.
  12. Written al-manḥūlah (“What is plagiarized”); perhaps al-manḥūl is meant.
  13. In the marginal note in the Beatty MS the name al-Mudabbir is crossed out, and the name Abī ‘Awn inserted underneath.
  14. Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Muntaẓar bi-Allāh, Abū al-Qāsim. He was the last of the twelve official Shi‘i imams. He disappeared at Samarra, 878, was called al-Mahdi and was expected to reappear.
  15. These epistles are omitted in Yāqūt.[27]
