About
"Poet and scholar David Larsen's English translation of the late 10th century Arabic lexicographer Ibn Khālawayh's list of names of lions. Essentially a book of translation about translation, this unique work engages medieval linguistic scholarship with precision and clarity. Larsen's lively introduction, notes, and the 400 epithets are an engrossing work of cultural studies."--Publisher's website (viewed 12 May 2017).
