Abstract

This study has seriously sought to try to build a clear picture of intertextuality in Andalusian prose during the fifth and sixth centuries AH, with the fluctuations that this period borne of varied between development , prosperity and care for science and scholars and between wars and internal strife that affected Andalusian writers in general and their literary production and themes depending on those circumstances in particular.

From a theoretical angle, we can say that intertextuality is the deep overlap and interaction between texts, so that new texts and evoked texts become a bridge that the writer crosses to reach contemporary and absent texts that affect the text, its language, meanings and style, and reveals the beauty in it, it was necessary for the writer who practices a mechanism of intertextuality to possesses a wide culture of religious, literary and historical heritage, super genius, and skill in recalling absent texts that he revives in his new text to reach what the writer wants to express with skill and superiority.
