"If we can point to great Orientalist works of genuine scholarship like Silvestre de Sacy's Chrestomathie arabe or Edward William Lane's Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians, we need also to note that Renan's and Gobineau's racial ideas came out of the same impulse, as did a great many Victorian pornographic novels (see the analysis by Steven Marcus of "The Lustful Turk")." -- Edward W. Said, Orientalism p. 8


"A beautiful poem of Shanfarah is extant, which is entitled “Lamiyatu-l-arab.” It has been translated by De Sacy, and published in his Chrestomathie arabe (Paris, 1806), with excellent remarks. It is one of the oldest poems extant in Arabic." --Penny Cyclopaedia (1841)
