Searching for the origins of things. On the ‘ilm al-awā’il in the culture of the Arabic Middle Ages
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 1996) Dziekan, Marek M.; Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw; Department of Middle East and North Africa Studies, University of Lodz
It is not certain, either, if knowledge of the origins was treated, in Arabic culture, as a separate branch of knowledge or as an element of history or adab literature. Works as Kitāb al-awā’il by Al-‘Askarī or Al-Wasā’il ilā ma‘rifat al-awā’il by Aṯ-Ṯa‘labī (X-XI centuries) can, on the one hand, be considered a proof of some independence of ma‘rifat al-awā’il in the Arabic literature; on the other hand, the sections on the “pioneers” most frequently appeared in historical context, which is the case of Kitāb al-ma‘ārif by Ibn Qutayba; later on, similarly Al-Qalqašandī took a similar route, which will be discussed further on.

The seventy-yard long chain desert (The prose of Ibrāhīm al-Kawnī)
(Katedra Arabistyki i Islamistyki, Uniwersytet Warszawski, 1996) Machut-Mendecka, Ewa; Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw
Odysseus had already abandoned his young and beautiful wife to begin dangerous travels. He was followed by hundreds of heroes of myths and legends who gave themselves up to the adventures far away from home. But they usually came back willingly to their homeland, while thinking of homeland alleviated the hard life they led in foreign lands. Surprisingly, contrary to this tradition, the travellers in the prose of a Libyan writer Ibrāhīm al-Kawnī (who wrote i.a. a long novel “The Magi” (Al-Maǧūs) and many stories dealing with desert themes) go to the desert and never come back to their families.
