الجهود الأدبية و النقدية في كتاب (حياة الحيوان الكبرى)‎ للدميري ت (808 ه)‎

الملخص EN

The efforts of Arab scholars in revealing the ancient Arab heritage were of the utmost importance to them.

This is because the heritage is not poetry or prose as it seems to some interested people; rather it is a multi-directional historical and cultural heritage of various kinds, which goes beyond literature to science, art, philosophy, ethics, jurisprudence, history, language and everything that can an aspect of the ancient social and intellectual movement.

On this basis, Al-Damiri’s view was crystallized in showing the Arab heritage in its intellectual, cultural, scientific and historical aspects despite the fact that the book ‘The great Life of the Animal’ has mainly adopted the study of animal species.

Accordingly, the study adopted the monitoring of the most important literary and critical efforts in this book, following the objectivity as well as the analytical method, trying to monitor the relationship between the poetic and prose texts that were mentioned and the historical, religious, jurisprudential, and scientific topics, relying on some significant sources and references.
