Poets of Taghlib in the pre-Islamic era, their news and poetry

This collection of this new edition includes all that has arrived to today of the poetry of the tribe Taqlib, and only poetry that has been proven to be pre-Islamic or veteran has been included in the collection. The poems were arranged considering the abundance of the poet's poetry and his fame, starting with Amr ibn Kulthum, and ending with those who share the same verse, then mentioning what has been narrated about the poets of Taqlib from poetry, which in its overall does not exceed the verses spoken by the sisters of Kulaib and Mihlil or their daughters. The book also covers the genealogy of Taqlib and its relations with neighboring tribes (Rabi'a, Kinda, Al-Hirah, Ghassanids, Persians, and then the Islamic conquests), as well as Taqlib's days, wars, and events, including the Banu Al-Basus war and its days. The book discusses the sources of Taqlib's poetry and its loss, as well as the topics addressed by Taqlib poets such as pride, description, lamentation, praise, satire, wisdom, and love, along with the moral and stylistic characteristics of their poetry. The book concludes with a genealogy tree of "Taqlib ibn Wa'il" as mentioned by Ibn Al-Kalbi in "Jumhura Al-Nasab," and also as recorded by Ibn Hazm in "Jumhura Anasab Al-Arab," in addition to a detailed index of the genealogy of Banu Taqlib, including their most famous poets and figures. The lineage of Taqlib ibn Wa'il ascends to Rabi'a ibn Nizar ibn Ma'd ibn Adnan. The book also contains indexes of poets, poems, notable figures, tribes, places, days, and a bibliography of sources that approached 350 documented references. In the introduction of the edition, the author states that the ancient scholars, passionate about the Arabic language and Arab heritage, were eager to collect scattered vocabulary and evidence, and a large movement of documentation emerged, carried out by men sincere in their intentions, truthful in their work, and willing to undertake difficult tasks to achieve their goals. Among their interests was collecting the poetry of tribes in special collections, so a group of scholars dedicated themselves to creating tribal anthologies, some of whom compiled anthologies of 80 tribes or more. However, the passage of time and the hardships of fate erased what these scholars had done, and only the collection of Huzayl's poetry remained with us. The loss was precious, and the disappearance costly. A number of researchers have risen to address the deficiency and fill the gap, and signs have appeared of a movement to re-collect tribal anthologies and gather their scattered parts from books, what remains of them and their trustworthiness, after they had been taken from the mouths of men. As a result, we saw some researchers presenting poetry collections of several tribes, such as the poetry collection of Banu Tamim, Abd al-Qays, Tayi', Hadhramaut, Bakar ibn Wa'il, and others.
