Abstract
The polythematic panegyric ode was the privileged form of poetic expression in premodern classical Arabic poetry (and in Arabo-Islamic cultures at large). Its
function … as an encoder and transmitter of the ideology of Islamic hegemony and as one of the insignia of legitimate (Arabo-) Islamic political authority is a decisive factor in [its]… preeminence.1
