Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IBN DURAID [Abu Bakr Mahommed ibn ul-I3asan ibn Duraid ul-Azdi] (837-934) , Arabian poet and philologist, was born at Basra of
south
  Arabian stock. At his native place he was trained under various teachers, but fled in 871 to Oman at the time Basra was attacked by the negroes, known as the Zanj, under Muhallabi. After living twelve years in Oman he went to Persia, and, under the
protection
  of the
governor
 , `Abdallah ibn Mahommed ibn Mikal, and his son, Ismail, wrote his
chief
  works. In 920 he went to Bagdad, where he received a pension from the
caliph
  Moqtadir.
The Magsicra, a poem in praise of Ibn Mikal and his son, has been edited by A. Haitsma (1773) E. Scheidius (1786) and N. Boyesen (1828). Various commentaries on the poem exist in MS. (cf. C. Brockelmann, Gesch. der ar. Lit., i. 211 if.,
Weimar
 , 1898). The Jarnhara fi-l-Lugha is a large dictionary written in Persian but not printed. Another
work
  is the Kitab ul-Ishtiqaq (" Book of
Etymology
  "), edited by F. Wustenfeld (Gottingen, 1854) ; it was written in opposition to the
anti
 -Arabian party to show the etymological connexion of the Arabian tribal names. (G. W. T.)
