علي بو ملحم

Ali Bou Melhem (علي بو ملحم) is a Lebanese literary scholar and critical editor (muhaqqiq) of classical Arabic texts, not the author of the narrative works his name is sometimes attached to.

He prepared a critically edited edition — with introduction and commentary — of Ibn Tufail's 12th-century philosophical narrative "Hayy ibn Yaqzan" (حي بن يقظان), published by Maktabat al-Hilal in Beirut (1993).

He has also edited and introduced classical works by al-Jahiz and al-Farabi, and is the author of his own literary-critical studies, including "في الأسلوب الأدبي" (On Literary Style) and "المناحي الفلسفية عند الجاحظ" (Philosophical Aspects in al-Jahiz).
