| Abstract | The subject of this paper is the love poetry of ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿa to his beloved Turayyā. It focuses on one of his poems, Turayyā’s Farewell, which is included in the twelfth-century treatise on love, Rawdat al-qulūb wa-nuzhat al-muhibb wa-al-mahbūb, written by the Syrian author ʿAbd al-Rahmān ibn Nasr ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Šayzarī (fl. 1174 A.D.) With reference to the 2003 critical edition of Rawdat edited by G. Kanāzi, to Abū al-Farağ al-Isbahānī’s Kitāb al-Aġānī and to the Dīwān by ʿUmar, I discuss the content and the main themes of the poem as well as al-Šayzarī’s treatment of the existing reports about the couple ʿUmar and Turayyā, in which the influence of courtly love plays a major role. |
