This is obviously a job for سجع :
دليل الظنون في ذوو الشؤون
روزنامة في اولو المقامة
There must be a title from an one of the old biographical dictionaries in the tradition that you could borrow.

Randa Farhat
: المضاف والمجرور لا يُرفعان بالواو! في الإعراب المضاف هو الذي يضاف إلى المضاف إليه، أي الكلمة الثانية، وهو مجرور دوماً.- توضيح: اعتدنا على القول مضاف ومضاف إليه والصحيح إعراباً هو مضاف إليه ومضاف
