Several new poems by sixth-/twelfth-century Christian poets are now available in the recently rediscovered manuscript of Abū al-Maʿālī’s Zīnat al-Dahr. It is now possible to triangulate between ʿImād al-Dīn, who used Abū al-Maʿālī as a source, and several poems by Christians addressed to Muslims and vice versa, to reconstruct the space for Christian participation in late Abbasid literary discourse.
