The arud system of Arabic metrics forms the core of Frolov's (Moscow U.) account. When he decided to translate the Russian volume, published about 1989, into English, he took the opportunity to revise it substantially, incorporating comments made by scholars concerning the original edition, new research findings, and some of his own subsequent writings. As preliminaries to the study of Arabic metrics, he discusses Arabic verse in Semitic context and the Arabic language as the basis of Arabic versification. Then he looks at the genesis and early history of Arabic verse, including the origins of arud metres. He concludes with an analysis of the science of arud itself and the author of that science, al-Khalil. We take up a Brill book with reverence for its fine craftsmanship, and bitterly regret that such beauty is rare among US publishers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
