Recognizing the wisdom and integrity of the people and religion of what was then known as Syria, Wortabet set about to preserve the essentials of Arabic wisdom in this little book. The wisdom saying, a literary form of ancient pedigree in this part of the world, is generally a brief but pointed statement of a truth distilled from careful observation. Wortabet here presents these saying arranged according to topic, with the goal of facilitating understanding between the wider world and those who live in what has become a very unsettled region. 410 0$aAnalecta Gorgiana ;$v195. 606 $aQuotations, Arabic 615 0$aQuotations, Arabic. 676 $a892.708 700 $aWortabet$b John$f1827-1908,$0650524 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793715503321 996 $aArabian wisdom$93789289 997 $aUNINA
