Deux études sur la poésie bachique arabe : 1. Les précurseurs d'al-Hîra
Résumé
Title : Two Studies on Arabic Wine Poetry : 1. The Forerunners of al-Ḥīra
Abstract : This study has for goal to underline the noteworthy continuity of the vocabulary and style of Arabic wine poetry from the forerunners of the 6th century A.D. to the Bacchic classical poets, among whom Abū Nuwās is unquestionably the outstanding figure; and to emphasize the role played in the genesis of the genre by the poets who frequented the court of al-Ḥīra during the second half of the 6th century. It seems indeed, that it is in al-Ḥīra that Arabic wine poetry first developed, with such poets as ‘Adī b. Zayd and al-Aswad b. Ya‘fur and, before them, Ṭarafa, al-Musayyab and Muraqqiš al-Aṣġar. It is likely that all these are the poets who defined the traditional vocabulary, the images and the themes of wine verse, and inspired the following generations, starting with such poets of the 7th century as al-A‘šā et Ḥassān b. Ṯābit.

Cette étude a pour but de souligner la remarquable continuité du vocabulaire et du style bachiques, depuis ces poètes du VIe siècle qui en sont les précurseurs jusqu'aux poètes bachiques classiques, au premier rang desquels figure Abū Nuwās ; et de mettre en relief le rôle joué dans la genèse du genre par les poètes ayant fréquenté la cour d'al-Ḥīra durant la seconde moitié du VIe siècle. Il semble bien, en effet, que ce soit à al-Ḥīra que le genre bachique ait connu ses premiers développements, dans la seconde moitié du VIe siècle, avec des poètes comme ‘Adī b. Zayd et al-Aswad b. Ya‘fur et, avant eux, Ṭarafa, al-Musayyab et Muraqqiš al-Aṣġar. Ce sont vraisemblablement ces poètes qui ont défini le vocabulaire, les images et les thèmes traditionnels de la poésie bachique, dont se sont inspirés tous les poètes des générations et des siècles suivants, à commencer par ces poètes du VIIe siècle que sont al-A‘šā et Ḥassān b. Ṯābit.
