ʿArīb al-Ma’mūnīya (c. 797 – c. 890) was an Abbasid poetess, courtesan, singer, and composer who lived during the 9th century. Born into slavery, Arib rose to prominence and became one of the most famous artist in the Abbasid royal court,[1] and lived through through the reigns of five Abbasid caliphs before earning her freedom.[2] She had an intense rivalry with fellow qayna Shāriyah, whom she defeated in a song and poetry contest after revealing that her competitor had plagiarized verses from other popular women, a famous court event which the 10th century author Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani later recorded in his work Kitab al-Aghani (Book of Songs).[3]
Biography
In 862, during the Symposium held at the House of Wisdom, Arib met the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq.[4]
