 As Deborah L. Black (1990) showed, following the Alexandrian tradition, philosophers in Islamic lands consider Rhetoric and Poetics as integral to logic proper and so parts of Aristotle’s Organon. Lahcen E. Ezzaher (2008: 347–91) translated the short commentary on the Rhetoric. Frédérique Woerther (2018) &amp; Maroun Aouad are preparing a new edition of some of al-Fârâbî’s texts on rhetoric. Stéphane Diebler in Philosopher à Bagdad au Xe siècle (2007) [in fact a very useful collection of translations of short Farabian works] gave a French translation of the three very brief treatises al-Fârâbî dedicated to Poetics. Geert Jan van Gelder &amp; Marlé Hammond (2008: 15–23) translated one of these treatises, The Book of Poetics, into English, as well as a brief relevant passage in the first part of The Great Book of Music. Terrence J. Kleven (2019) studies The Canons of Poetry.  Scholars interested in political philosophy have highlighted the distinctions al-Fârâbî makes between (1) demonstrative discourse, reflecting Aristotle’s positions in the Posterior Analytics (in Arabic this text is known as The Book of Demonstration), and which alone is philosophical stricto sensu, (2) dialectical discourse, typical of the “mutakallimûn” or theologians and linked to Aristotle’s Topics, and (3) rhetorical and poetical discourse, used in the Qur’ân or Jewish and Christian Scriptures in order to address ordinary people.
