<br/><br/> This is a pioneering study by the versatile scholar Franz Rosenthal (1914-2003). It contains an annotated translation of an Arabic text on a figure who became the subject of many jokes and anecdotes, the greedy and obtuse Ash'ab, a singer who lived in the 8th century but whose literary and fictional life long survived him.
