Abstract
This thesis discusses in the poetry which describes food and drink
in the Fatimid era. Egypt and Syria were under the Fatimids rule Between
(967AD – 1171AD) Therefore, the spatial bounds of this study only
limits on the poets of these two areas who lived during the fatimid’s rule.
This study is based on gathering and collecting the descriptive
poetry which deals with food and drink except the poetry of wine and
drugs. This kind of poetry is artistically studied rhetorically, syntactically,
semantically, and grammatically. Then, I marked down the most
important artistic images which this kind of poetry distinguished in.
What motivated me to choose this subject in my study is that,
during my explorative reading, I found out that the descriptive poetry was
very common and popular during that period of time, especially the
poetry which described food and drink in detailed ways. Also, I found out
that this kind of study was not discussed before by anyone. When I asked
those who are qualified and specialized in “literature field during that
time”, they emphasized for me that my study will be the first one in this
aspect.
In my study, I used the inquisitive method. For example, I read the
most important literary resources which concentrated on the literary
movement at that time like the divans of the Fatimid era poets. For
instance, Kashajem’s divan, Al-O’qaili Sharif’s divan, Thafer AlHaddad’s
divan, Ibn-Al-Khayyat’s divan, Al-Wae Wae Al-Dimushqi’s
divan and -----etc.
Moreover, I elaboratorily read the books of smile which studied the
poetry of that time; like: “Al-Wasf & Al-Tashbih” Safadi “Ghraaeb AlTanbihat”
for Ali Ibn Thafer. So, I found many of these books which
talked about the poetry of describing food and drink but I depended on
the two main resources which focused on the literature of that period.
They are; “Yatimat Al-Duhr” for Al-Tharalibi & “Kharidat Al-Qusr” for,
Al-Imad Al-Asfahani”.
After I used the inquisitive methods in collecting the study material
from poetry, then I used the inductive method to conclude the most
important artistic images which this kind of description contained and
dealt with.
ؿ
At the end of my study, I concluded that the poetry of describing
food and drink generally controlled a big part at this kind of poetry.
However, we cant ignor that this kind of poetry was particularly found in
the poetry of nature. This due to different reasons I mentioned them at the
beginning of my study but we can also add that the beauty of nature for
both Syria & Egypt, the Fatimid’s interests in Cermonial outwards like
great & big meals which were celebrated in their annual feasts which-are
more than 20 ones-, their developing agriculture, and enlarging their trade
to include all the countries all over the world – are some of these reasons.
because of their openness on the world, Fatimids were also able to bring
with them different kinds of food and fruit which were unknown before in
Syria and Egypt.
Finally, I recommend studying the poetry of that period carefully.
Also, the poetry of the latest periods from literary era must be studied
objectively in order to know more about the Arabic and Islamic society’s
characteristics, by collecting, gathering, and registering the main subjects
of the descriptive poetry on that time. Because poetry is considered the
Arab’s divan, so it will be the mirror of the social behaviour’s for the
Arabic & Islamic societies in some eras and ages that little information is
available about.
