Overview
In Baghdad al-Mutanabbi thought of attaching himself to the famous Buyid vizier al-Muhallabi, who had gathered a brilliant court, but abandoned hope in face of the hostility of the court's poets and scholars, among them Ibn al-Hajjaj and Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani, author of the Kitab al-Aghani. He spent the year 353/964 giving lectures in which he expounded to a group of friends the work he had done to that date 1.
