Résumé: | This article deals with an epistle known as Kitāb al-Ḥijāb or Kitāb al-Ḥijāb wa-dhammih (“Book of the Chamberlain and its Censure”), published as a work of al-Jāḥiẓ. Based on internal evidence in Kitāb al-Ḥijāb and some specific aspects of al-Jāḥiẓ’s stylistic art of writing, it is argued that the work is yet another of many texts wrongly attributed to him. In addition, the adīb-scholar Muḥammad b. Khalaf b. al-Marzbān (d. 309/921), who reportedly has written one al-Ḥijāb wa-dhammih, is proposed as its probable author. |
