The Scholars of Usul in the East Through the Book Fahrist al-Labbali al-Andalusi (d. 691 AH / 1291 CE)

Abstract

The Arab Islamic state was rich in abundant and diverse scientific productions at the hands of a group of historians and writers. The art of biographies of men and personal biographies of different religious, political, economic, administrative, intellectual and cultural orientations was the share, in addition to those who specialized in writing about natural sciences, religious sciences, jurisprudence and principles that distinguished the Arab Muslims during their rule. The share of Andalusian historians and authors was abundant and plentiful in those fields, although some of them were serious and creative to the point that their authors became indispensable in documenting our research in any field of life in Andalusia, which we mentioned above. Some of them specialized in one field and not another, and some of them were long and elaborate in mentioning the information of their biographies, explanations and topics, and some of them abbreviated and approved the information they wrote.
