Description :


Kitab Asrar al-balaghah (The Secrets of Metaphor in Rhetoric), by Imam Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani, rahimahullah. This book is a modern scholarly edition of the seminal work by al-Jurjani (died circa 1078 Common Era) on Arabic rhetoric, especially the branch called al-bayan (use of metaphor and figures of speech), of which he is considered the founder.


In the classical context, ‘ilm al-balaghah (rhetoric) is divided into three interconnected arts, al-ma’ani (clear expression); al-bayan; and badi’ (embellishment and beautiful style). Al-Jurjani’s study of the stylistic and psychological importance of metaphor received widespread acceptance by classical Arabic writers and remains a source of discussion and research in modern linguistics.
