Ali Ibn Al-Jahm Al-Sami
Born about 804; died 863. Arabian poet. Al-Sami was born into a noble family and received a broad education. While at the court of Baghdad, al-Sami made many enemies in the entourage of the caliph al-Mutawakkil through his venomous epigrams. This resulted in the poet’s imprisonment and exile (852–855). His satirical verses and panegyric qasidas have survived. He was also the author of a versified chronicle of the Arabian caliphs. REFERENCEKhalil Mardam-Bak. Diwan Ali ibn al-Jahm.
