منقولات المصايد و المطارد لكشاجم عن ضواري الطير للغطريف بن قدامة الغساني

Abstract EN

This research sheds a light on a phenomenon in Arabic heritage books, in which transferring knowledge from one source into another takes place without giving any credit to the ones who first talked about it.

In an attempt to clarify this phenomenon, the study will focus on evidence of how substantial extracts in DAWARI ATTAIR (Birds of Prey) by Alghatrif bin Qadama Alghassani, were transferred into other well known sources such as: ALMASAED WA ALMATARED (Chasing and Hunting) by Kashajem, and SUBEH ALAASHA by Alqalqashandi.

Instead of crediting those sources which originally included such extracts, some authors attributed such abstracts to ALMASAED WA ALMATARED such as: Alqalqashandi.

The author of ALMASAED intentionally or unintentionally neglects referring to the original texts that contained such extracts.
