Abstract
The terms which define the personality of female singers and musicians in the context of the medieval Arab world can be divided in two categories: the ones related to music and those referring to their social status. The latter are thoroughly analyzed in the present study, mainly based on Abū l-Faraŷ al-Iṣfahānī’s Kitāb al-agānī.
