Ammunition in the advantages of the people of the island (ePub)

The book of ammunition in the merits of the people of the island, written by Abu al -Hasan Ali bin Bassam al -Shantinini, is one of the flags of the Andalusian writers and critics, in the fifth and sixth centuries AH. He was born on the island of Shentrin, and to her, in a well -off family, I meant his upbringing, education and preparation for a prosperous future. Ibn Bassam showed a degree of literary talent from a young age, and he began writing poetry and prose and drew attention to him. And the book "The ammunition in the benefits of the people of the island" is a source of great importance for the researcher in the history of Andalusia and its literature in the period of the kings of the sects, which followed the end of the Umayyad Cordoba Caliphate, the fifth century AH/eleventh AD. As for the historical importance of the book, it is due to its retaining lengthy paragraphs from the book "Al -Matin" by Sheikh Al -Andalusian historians of Abu Marwan bin Hayyan (d. 469 AH/ 1076 CE), which is the date that did not reach us, in which Ibn Hayyan - with his eloquent style, his sincerity and his harassment - the history of Andalusia in the era kings of Denominations. These paragraphs, which Ibn Bassam mentioned in the book "The Ammunition in the Leaders of the People of the island" are all that we have reached from the book "Al -Matin". As for the literary point of view, Ibn Bassam presents us in a wonderful manner of a sender - without dumping in the argument, like some of his contemporaries - models and extracts from the poetry of the writers of the writers of writers in that period from which he witnessed, or drew its news from sources near it.
