The aesthetic use of scientific terminology and the manipulation of words and letters in Ibn Nabata's Egyptian Diwan

Abstract

Ibn Nabata lived in an era when the use of creative improvements, the embellishment of words, and the embellishment of speech on literature in general and on poetry in particular. Most of the poets are from the creative philanthropists in its two branches in their productions, and resorting to industry and affectation has become a prominent feature in the literature of this era and a far-reaching track to highlight the literary ability and linguistic abundance among poets and writers. Ibn Nubata al-Masri was not immune from this tendency. Rather, he went along with it, treated it, and became fond of it, so that it became a distinctive feature of his poetry. So we see him at times tending to moral improvements and overusing them in his poetry, and at other times he is attracted to verbal improvements, so he employs them in an employment that overwhelms some of his poetry.
