Abulfaraj Babagha’ was a poet and author in the court of SeifAl-Dulah Hamdani. He used both the traditional style of Arabic poetry as well as innovations in his literary works. In comparison with his verse he is quite famous for the specificity of his prose. He called his own literary style “tarassul” and preferred using redundancy to being terse. He repeatedly took advantage of rich Arabic lexicon, especially synonyms and the words he used are frequently simple and eloquent. The intermingling of clear fluent prose with perfectly meaningful expressions makes his prose more attractive, effective, and charming. His writing is an outstanding example of fourth century (A.H.) prose. This research, therefore, is an introduction to and survey of his literary life and works.
