%X The character of Prince Wiṣāl, main hero of the first dramatic piece by Ibn Dāniyāl, has
not ceased to arouse the interest of critics. Nevertheless, it seems to us that a sufficient attention has
not been paid to Ṭayf al-Khayāl, confidant of the hero, such that light still needs to be shed on
diverse aspects of Ibn Dāniyāl’s creation. For this reason, using a few folkloric and literary
traditions, I will analyze the figure of Ṭayf al-Khayāl to better outline his relevant peculiarities.
