Shihab al-Din ibn al-Attar al-Danisari, his life and the rest of his poetry, study and documentation

Abstract

He was known by the title of Shihab al-Din ibn al-Attar, two Egyptian poets, one of whom is Shihab al-Din Ali ibn Ahmad ibn al-Attar al-Damiati, the well-known loyal poet who died in the year 811 AH, and the second is Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Attar al-Danisri, who we are about to introduce, collect and document his poetry.

The status of Shihab al-Din ibn al-Attar al-Danisri among the poets of his time appears in many matters, including: that he is one of the most prominent figures of thought and literature in the eighth century AH in Egypt, with what he left behind of intellectual and literary heritage, in addition to that his poetry is considered an important historical document in which he recorded the facts of his time with all honesty and accuracy. So that it was not an occasion or an event in which poetry could be said except that it was exploited and organized in it, so this poetry was full of those events, and it acquired a social and historical value for this purpose.
