"The translation itself was magisterially prepared by Anna Bailey Galietti, translator extraordinaire. Anna was an ideal choice as a formidable Francophile and a fellow scholar of early Islam."

The Shidyaq translation will last for centuries. Unsurpassable!
Beautiful tribute to Humphrey by @nanaasfour.
“To date, I have been fortunate enough to be able to consult almost all the living authors whose works I have translated,” he said, adding, “I have questions for the dead, too, when I meet them.”

I was translating these lines of al-Khansa when I heard about Etel. Let them be for her. Let it be too much.
