hamasa

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

hamasa

Title of several anthologies of Arabic poetry and, in particular, a collection compiled by abu-Tammam (807–c. 845), divided into ten books. This collection is of great historical value, and is derived chiefly from the spoken word.

Another important hamasa is that compiled by the poet al-Buhturi (820–897), abu-Tammam's pupil, some years after the appearance of the latter's collection.
