Abstract

The title of my thesis was (the poetry of al andalus judges from the islamic conquest to the end of the age of the sects kings). The judicial system gained great importance among the puplic and private people because it was organically related to their religion and lives. There were certain conditions to appoint a judge: right brains, muslim, male, just, familiar with religious laws, sound senses, and some others which would earn him great praise, respect, and credibility.

The judge used to be chosen by the ruler; how ever vice rulers, the princes or the judges of provinces, advisors were allowed to set up the judges. Also the plebians had the chance to nominate their judge.

The judges had some other responsibilitis like marriage contracts, prison affairs , and heritages. The judges had assistants such as copyists, porters, and security forces.

They lead a life of humbleness, simplicity, and honesty. They had meagre incomes from the treasury; there residencies were so simple and had no signs of luxturies. They would decide cases at mosques. Besides, they had offices to organize their judicial jobs.

The number of them was large, but, unfortunately, poetry of sixteen judges were found . Some of them left a lot of poetry, others left alittle. Their poetry was easy, prose- like and their dictions were affected by then - civilization. Their poetry works were full of synonyms and antonyms. They injected their poems with emphatic items in their statements.

They used different figures of speech like similes, synechdoches, etc. Most of their poetic writings were no more than six lines for each short stanza. The main focus of which was on description, and ethics. The poems, on the other hand, tactled longing, elegy, and knowledge.

The sources which contain the poetic works lacked good printting and accuracy, so that’s why I had to correct the wrong musical structures.
