al-ʿIqd al-Farīd (The Unique Necklace, Arabic: العقد الفريد) is an anthology attempting to encompass 'all that a well-informed person had to know in order to pass in society as a cultured and refined individual' (or adab),[1] composed by Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih (860–940), an Arab writer and poet from Córdoba in Al-Andalus.[2]

History

There are around 40 known surviving manuscripts of al-ʿIqd al-Farīd in the world.[3] The first printed edition was published in 1876 by the Bulaq Press in Egypt.[3] Another seven editions were printed in Cairo and two were printed in Beirut.[3] According to Issa J. Boullata, the best three editions are those edited by Ahmad Amin et al and published in seven volumes in its third edition by لجنة التأليف والترجمة والنشر in 1965, by Muḥammad Saʻīd al-ʻIryān [ar] and published in eight volumes its second edition by Matba'at al-Istiqama in 1953, and by Mufīd Muḥammad Qumayḥa and published in 9 volumes by Dar Al-Kotob Al-Ilmiyah [ar] in 1997.[3]

Portions of the work were translated and published. The French orientalist Fulgence Fresnel published material on pre-Islamic Arabs in Lettres sur l'histoire des arabes avant l'islamisme 1838, Muhammad Shafi translated material on Mecca and Medina in "A description of the two sanctuaries of Islam by Ibn 'Abd Rabbihi"[3]: xv  in 1922, and the British orientalist and musicologist Henry George Farmer published material on music in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1942, and Arthur Wormhoudt published material on secretaries as "al-Kitaba wal-kuttab from the Aqd al-Farid" in 1988.[3] al-ʿIqd al-Farīd was translated in full and published in English for the first time by Issa J. Boullata in 2004.[3]

Jibrāʾīl Jabbūr's [ar] 1933 Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih wa ʿIqduh [Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih and his Necklace] is the most extensive study of the work.[3] Jabbur notes the extent to which Ibn ʿAbd Rabbih's depended on Ibn Qutaybah, particularly his ʿUyun al-akhbar.[3]

Contents

The anthology is divided into 25 sections. The 13th section is named the middle jewel of the necklace, and the chapters on either side are named after other jewels. It is an adab book resembling Ibn Qutaybah's `Uyun al-akhbar (The Fountains of Story) and the writings of al-Jahiz from which it borrows largely.[4][5] Although he spent all his life in al-Andalus and did not travel to the East like some other Andalusian scholars, most of his book's material is drawn from the East Islamic world. Also, Ibn Abd Rabbih quoted no Andalusian compositions other than his own. He included in his book his 445-line Urjuza, a poem in the meter of the rajaz in which he narrates the warlike exploits of Abd al-Rahman al-Nasir, along with some of his eulogies of the Umayyads of al-Andalus.[6] A major study of its sources was undertaken by Werkmeister.[7]

Influence

The Būyid vizier Sahib ibn Abbad 'is commonly quoted to illustrate the alleged lackluster reception the book met in the Orient': he is alleged to have said '“this is our merchandise brought back to us.” I thought this book contained some information about their country [Andalusia]. But it rather contains information about ours. We have no need for it' (alluding to Koran 12:65).[9] However, it was widely copied—about 100 manuscripts are known—and was frequently excerpted. It was also among the earliest adab works to be printed and has been printed at least ten times since in different editions.[10] The collection was not, however, translated until scholarly European translations of portions began in the nineteenth century.[11]

Its good text reflects an implicit apparatus criticus in the mind of the editor but it is not explained in the notes. It has a good introduction which faults Aḥmad Amīn's with regard to a couple of historical facts'.[14] The machine-readable text here appears to be from a 1983/84 Beirut reprint of this edition.
