The Kalila Dumna of Iben Mokuffa) preface, page i (on "Pilpay's fables": "From the Sanscrit [titled "Puncha Tantra"] it appears to have been translated in the beginning of the 6th century, into Pehlevy, or ancient Persian, by Burzieh, a physician. From Pehlevy it was turned into Arabic, about the middle of the 8th century, by Abd Allah Iben Almokuffa, a Persian who had been converted to the Mohammedan religion") Wikipedia, January 31, 2019: (Ibn al-Muqaffaʻ; "Abū Muhammad ʻAbd Allāh Rūzbih ibn Dādūya (Arabic: ابو محمد عبدالله روزبه ابن دادويه), born Rōzbih pūr-i Dādōē ... more commonly known as Ibn al-Muqaffaʻ(Arabic: ابن المقفع), (died c. 756/759), was a Persian translator, author and thinker who wrote in the Arabic language ... though a resident of Basra, [he] was originally from the town of Goor (or Gur, Firuzabad, Fars) in the Iranian province of Fars ... He later returned to Basra and served as a secretary under Isa ibn Ali and Sulayman ibn Ali, the uncles of the Abbasid caliph al-Mansur. After their brother Abdallah ibn Ali made an abortive bid for the throne, they asked Ibn al-Muqaffa to write a letter to the Caliph to not retaliate against his uncle and pardon him. The language of the letter offended al-Mansur, who wished to be rid of Ibn al-Muqaffa. He was executed around 756 or 759 AD by the governor of Basra ... [His] translation of the Kalīla wa Dimna from Middle Persian is considered the first masterpiece of Arabic literary prose") Latham, J. Derek. "Ebn al-Moqaffaʻ, Abū Moḥammad ʻAbd-Allāh Rōzbeh," in Encyclopaedia Iranica, v. 8, fasc. 1, pages 39-43, accessed onlne January 31, 2019 ("Ebn al-Moqaffaʻ, Abū Moḥammad ʻAbd-Allāh Rōzbeh b. Dādūya/Dādōē (b. Gōr, the present Fīrūzābād, Fārs, ca. 103/721, d. Baṣra ca. 139/757), chancery secretary (kāteb) and major Arabic prose writer. Ebn al-Moqaffaʻ was of noble Persian stock and bore the name Rōzbeh/Rūzbeh before his comparatively late conversion to Islam from Mani-chaeism ... Ebn al-Moqaffaʻ left behind a sizable body of prose writings, both translations and original works. He is best known today for Kalīla wa Demna, his translation of a Middle Persian collection of animal fables, mostly of Indian origin, involving two jackals, Kalīla and Demna. The Middle Persian original, now lost but thought by de Blois to have been entitled Karīrak ud Damanak ... was written by one Borzōē/Borzūya, a Persian physician ... Prefaced by a putative autobiography of Borzūya and an account of his voyage to India, the full work was done into Arabic by Ebn al-Moqaffaʻ, who introduced it with a prologue of his own and may have been responsible for four added stories. From Ebn al-Moqaffaʻ's Arabic rendering of Borzūya's work are descended not only all later Arabic versions of Kalīla wa Demna, but also one of two Syriac versions ... and the medieval Greek, Persian (6th/12th century), Hebrew, Latin, and Castilian versions") <http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/ebn-al-moqaffa> |
