ثلاث رسائل للجاحظ: في الرد على النصارى، في ذم أخلاق الكتاب، في القيان
يقول محقق الرسائل يوشع فنكل:
هذه مجموعة قيمة، تشمل ثلاث رسائل لأبي عثمان عمرو بن بحر الجاحظ لم تنشر بعد: الأولى: رسالته في الرد على النصارى، والثانية: رسالته في أخلاق الكتّاب، والثالثة: رسالته في القيان.
وقد عثرنا على أصولها الخطية فأردنا أن نقوم بنشرها، لما اشتملت عليه من الفوائد المهمة التاريخية والأدبية. وهي من ضمن مجموعة من رسائل الجاحظ اختارها عبيد الله بن حسان.

Al-Jahiz
130 books156 followersAl-Jāḥiẓ (Arabic: عمرو بن بحر الجاحظ)
Because of the caliphs' patronage and his eagerness to establish himself and reach a wider audience, al-Jāḥiẓ stayed in Baghdad (and later Samarra), where he wrote a huge number of his books. The caliph al-Ma'mun wanted al-Jāḥiẓ to teach his children, but then changed his mind when his children were frightened by al-Jāḥiẓ's goggle-eyes. This is said to be the origin of his nickname.
He enjoyed the patronage of al-Fath ibn Khaqan, the bibliophile boon companion of Caliph al-Mutawakkil, but after his murder in December 861 he left Samarra for his native Basra. He died there in late 868, according to one story, when a pile of books from his private library collapsed on him.
Most important books:
*Kitab al-Hayawan (Book of the Animals)
*Kitab al-Bukhala (Book of Misers) also (Avarice & the Avaricious)
*Kitab al-Bayan wa al-Tabyin (The Book of eloquence and demonstration)
*Risalat mufakharat al-sudan 'ala al-bidan (Treatise on Blacks)
Al-Jāḥiẓ returned to Basra with hemiplegia after spending more than fifty years in Baghdad. He died in Basra in the Arabic month of Muharram in AH 255/December 868-January 869 CE. His exact cause of death is not clear, but a popular assumption is that Jahiz died in his private library after one of many large piles of books fell on him, killing him instantly.

مجموعة من الرسائل التي كتبها الجاحظ ،الأديب العباسي المعروف و التي حققها المستشرق يوشع فنكل. جاءت مواضيع الرسائل في الرد على النصارى و فيها يفرق الجاحظ بين المسيحية و الإسلام و يرد على المسائل التي ذكرت في وقته، و الرسالة الثانية في ذم أخلاق الكتاب و فيها يحاول الجاحظ أن ينتقد مجتمع الكتاب آنذاك و الرسالة الأخيرة في القيان و هو ما يطلق على الجواري المغنيات والتي اشتهرت في العصر العباسي.
محتوى الرسائل ضعيف و ممل في كثير من الأحيان و هذا ربما يرجع لقدم المواضيع.
