Abstract
Sara bint Ahmad ibn ʿUthman ibn al-Salah al-Halabiyya was an Arabic poet and scholar of the second half of the thirteenth century who was of Syrian origin but who made her career in al-Andalus and North Africa. She traveled extensively, dedicating many praise poems to rulers and other illustrious individuals, and according to Gruendler (Lightning and memory in poetic fragments from the Muslim west: Hafsah bint al-Hajj (d. 1191) and Sarah al-Halabiyyah (d. c. 1300). In Crisis and memory in Islamic societies. Edited by Angelika Neuwirth and Andreas Pflitsch, 443. Beirut: Ergon Verlag Würzburg in Kommission, 2001), her extant corpus includes more panegyric verse than that of any other Arabic woman poet active in al-Andalus.
