1 For a general account of ʿuḏrī poetry, see R. Jacobi: “ʿUdhrī.” In: EI2.

2 A quick search in “WorldCat” (keyword ʿuḏrī) has yielded some 20 Arabic titles dedicated to the subject. See also T. L. Djedidi: La poèsie amoureuse des Arabes. Le cas des ‘Uḏrites. Contribution à une sociologie de la litérature arabe. Algier 1974.

3 Cf. R. Jacobi: “Die Anfänge der arabischen Ġazalpoesie: Abū Ḏuʾaib al-Huḏalī.” In: Der Islam 61 (1984), pp. 218–250.

4 On Umayyad love poetry and the ʿuḏrī ġazal as a social and literary occurrence, see Th. Bauer: Liebe und Liebesdichtung in der arabischen Welt des 9. und 10. Jahrhunderts. Eine literatur- und mentalitätsgeschichtliche Studie des arabischen Ġazal. Wiesbaden 1998, pp. 38–55.

5 E.g., in her above-mentioned EI2 article Jacobi notes that: “Renouncement of physical union, as it would destroy true love, a notion later attributed to the ʿUdhrīs, is not supported by Umayyad verses. In view of the evidence, we are forced to conclude that ʿudhrī love in the 7th century is neither ‘platonic’ nor ‘courtly’ not even sentimental.”
