Dear Ms. Graindorge,
The entry on Wallada in:
Encyclopedia of Arabic Literature, edited by Julie Scott Meisami and
Paul Starkey (London: Routledge, 1998)
has a useful five-item bibliography, including Teresa Garulo's
standard anthology of Spanish Arab women poets in Spanish translation.
To add to this:
Rubiera Mata, Maria Jesus:
Poesia femenina hispanoarabe (Madrid: Castalia, 1989).
Mihanna, `Abd al-Amir
Mu'jam al-nisa' al-sha`irat (Beirut: Dar al-Kutub al-`Ilmiyah, 1990),
which includes a brief section on Walladah with further references to
her in Arabic biographical sources.
Fernea, E.W. & Bezirgan, F.Q., eds. Middle Eastern women speak.
(Austin: University of Texas Press, 1977)
There are also some older Arabic books on the relationship between
Walladah and Ibn Zaydun, the details of which I can pass on to you,
if you wish.
I hope this is of some help.

I have studied the classical Arabic language at the University of Liège(Belgium) , many years ago, and I have always kept great attention and interest for the classical Arabic litterature. I use even to translate in French texts of that kind of litterature. I am now studying some difficult questions , could somebody help me?

Wallada was an Arab/Andalous poetess, she was the daughter of Khalif Al-Mustakfi (11th century), and she has been mentioned and celebrated by the famous poet Ibn Zaydun. Does anybody know a publication containing such poems of Wallada?
