This transformation had a profound influence on the production of learned and literary culture; modes of transmission of learning; nature and types of literary production; nature of scholarly and professional occupations and alliances; and ranges of meanings of certain key concepts, such as plagiarism. In order to better understand these, attention is focused on a central but understudied figure, Ibn Abi Tahir Tayfur (d. 280 to 893), a writer, schoolmaster, scholar and copyist, member of important literary circles, and a significant anthologist and chronicler. This book will appeal to anyone interested in Arabic literary culture and history, and those with an interest in books, writing, authorship and patronage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862602678560,"sku":"NEW0415297621","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/610CUM4VyDL.jpg?v=1781633173","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ibn-abi-tahir-tayfur-and-arabic-writerly-culture-routledge-studies-in-middle-eastern-literatures-0415297621","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
