Ibn Sanāʾ al-Mulk

Abu ’l-Qāsim Hibat Allāh b. Abī ’l-Faḍl Jaʿfar b. al-Muʿtamid (Arabic: أبو القاسم هبة الله بن أبي الفضل جعفر بن المعتمد), known as Ibn Sanāʾ al-Mulk (ابن سناء الملك), was a 12th-century Egyptian qāḍi, poet, scholar interested in the Andalusi muwaššaḥ.^[1]^[2] He published Dār aṭ-ṭirāz fī ʿamal al-muwas̲h̲s̲h̲aḥāt (دار الطراز في عمل الموشحات), an anthology containing 34 Andalusi and Maghribi muwaššaḥat, his theory of the genre, as well as 35 of his own muwaššaḥat.^[1] He was also the first person in the Mashriq to compose muwaššaḥat, writing some kharjas with Persian words.^[1]

Dar at-Tiraz

Ibn Sanāʾ al-Mulk's book on the muwaššaḥ, Dār aṭ-ṭirāz fī ʿamal al-muwas̲h̲s̲h̲aḥāt (دار الطراز في عمل الموشحات), is regarded as the most complete contemporary description of the genre.^[3]^[4] It notably described the muwaššaḥ as a poetic form and a musical form, making it an important text for the history of Andalusi classical music.^[4]

Dar at-Tiraz was published in a modern edition by the Syrian scholar Jawdat Rikabi [ar] in 1949.^[1]
