📚✨ A literary journey at the Doha International Book Fair!
Kerstin, the head of our Cultural Section, visited this year’s vibrant book fair mid May and especially enjoyed her stop at the booth of De Gruyter Brill.

De Gruyter is a German scholarly publishing house, specializing in academic literature and Brill is a Dutch international academic publisher of books, academic journals, and databases. The two renowned publishing houses have recently joined forces, creating a leading powerhouse in academic publishing dedicated to advancing knowledge worldwide.

It was a lovely and inspiring visit, marked by warm exchanges and a shared passion for knowledge and culture.

A big thank you to the organizers and exhibitors, the book fair was a great success!

📚✨ رحلة أدبية في معرض الدوحة الدولي للكتاب!
قامت كيرستن، رئيسة القسم الثقافي في سفارتنا، بزيارة المعرض النابض بالحياة في منتصف شهر مايو، واستمتعت بشكل خاص بتوقفها عند جناح Gruyter Brill.

تُعد De Gruyter دار نشر أكاديمية ألمانية متخصصة في الأدبيات العلمية، بينما تُعرف Brill بأنها دار نشر أكاديمية دولية من هولندا تُعنى بإصدار الكتب والمجلات العلمية وقواعد البيانات. وقد قامت هاتان الداران المرموقتان مؤخرًا بتوحيد جهودهما، مما أسفر عن إنشاء قوة رائدة في مجال النشر الأكاديمي مكرّسة لتعزيز المعرفة على مستوى العالم.

كانت الزيارة جميلة وملهمة، تخللتها لقاءات دافئة وشغف مشترك بالمعرفة والثقافة.

شكرًا جزيلًا للمنظمين والعارضين – لقد كان المعرض ناجحًا بكل المقاييس!

*Open Access book "Medieval Arab Music and Musicians" by Dwight Reynolds, UC Santa Barbara wins the 2025 Mediterranean Seminar Prize for Best Translation*

This important book offers complete, annotated English translations of three of the most important medieval texts on music and musicians:

the biography of the musician Ibrāhīm al-Mawṣilī from al-Iṣbahānī’s Kitāb al-Aghānī, the biography of the musician Ziryāb from Ibn Ḥayyān’s Kitāb al-Muqtabis, and the earliest treatise on the muwashshaḥ song genre, Dār al-Ṭirāz, by the scholar Ibn Sanā’ al-Mulk.

Dwight Reynolds on his book:

"These texts provide remarkably detailed accounts of the lives of musicians in the courts of and , including accounts of their successes and failures, the buying and selling of female slave singers, rivalries and competitions, love affairs and romantic encounters, the enormous rewards a singer could earn if their patron was pleased, and the abuse..., fascinating descriptions of clothing, the functioning of their households, nights spent drinking in taverns, travels as boon companions to the caliph or emir, how they composed and practised their songs, sly tricks they played on their rivals, and many other aspects of their lives..."

"I hope it will offer readers a taste of the amazingly rich medieval Arabic literature on and . These are some of the earliest (perhaps even the earliest) substantive of musicians in , and deserve much greater attention."

Please join us in congratulating Dwight Reynolds!
