Between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, many poetic topoi of Bedouin life or of the old caliphal court underwent a profound renewal, so as to reflect the new social reality. Wine poetry (ḫamriyya), which had represented a usual motif in the past, ended up being classified among the themes of muğūn (shamelessness) subject to restrictions and censorship. The present article aims to investigate the political, socio-cultural and literary background and factors that determined the decline of traditional ḫamriyyah in favour of more tolerated themes such as the ones related to beer and coffee.

Abstract
Between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, many poetic topoi of Bedouin life or of the old caliphal court underwent a profound renewal, so as to reflect the new social reality. Wine poetry (ḫamriyya), which had represented a usual motif in the past, ended up being classified among the themes of muğūn (shamelessness) subject to restrictions and censorship. The present article aims to investigate the political, socio-cultural and literary background and factors that determined the decline of traditional ḫamriyyah in favour of more tolerated themes such as the ones related to beer and coffee.
