Session Details
The session examines Al Khalil ibn Ahmad Al Farahidi’s pioneering creation of Arabic prosody and the metrical system that underpins classical Arabic poetry. It considers how his study of sound and rhythm led to a precise framework for identifying poetic metres, and how this system has helped preserve, analyse, and appreciate Arabic verse across the centuries.
