"Arabic Authors" by F.F. Arbuthnot is a manual of Arabian history and literature written during the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide aimed at general readers and students beginning their journey into Arabic studies, offering insights into the vast field of Arabian literature. Arbuthnot compiles information from various sources to provide an accessible overview of key subjects in Arabian history and literary contributions, focusing particularly on pivotal figures and eras. The opening of the manual presents a preface outlining the author's intentions and acknowledges the existing interest in Oriental studies in Europe at that time. The preface notes the absence of original ideas in the work but emphasizes its value as a compilation of information that could serve as a foundation for further research. Arbuthnot expresses hope that a more thorough examination of Arabic literature will emerge in the English language, while also appreciating the advancements in Oriental studies and the importance of maintaining connections with historical and cultural contexts in understanding Arabian literature.
