الرسالة في العلاقة لمحمود الأنطاكي (ت 1160هـ) تحقيق ودراسة
Abstract
The Arabic and Islamic heritage especially the literary one is still rich in treasures of knowledge waiting for inspection and to be taken out of safes and manuscripts to the world of printing and publication so that students and art amateurs can make use of them. Our work investigates one of the manuscripts of this heritage, especially the rhetorical, and comments on it. It is the “Letter of Relation” by Mahmood AL-Antaki. It is a concise letter consisting of three research fields of Al-Bayan science (science of statement) which are “truth”, “metaphor” and “metonymy”. The author of this letter investigated the definitions of the terms of these research fields and the divisions ramifying from them in the light of the ends of the term and the relationship between the original lexical meaning of the word and the metaphorical and metonymical meaning of the same word. The author also pointed out to the controversy between the inspectors and rhetoricians in referring some kinds of allegory to their sources. In addition, he collected 28 of metaphorical relations that were scattered in the writings of the rhetoricians and compared them to his relations of the scholars of basics. He exemplified for each question he investigated, either from the Holy Quran, poetry, a saying, or an educational example. AL-Antaki did not divide his letter according to research points. We undertook this task by dividing the letter into sections according to rhetorical term and according to the opinions of the scholars the author dealt with. In the introduction, we referred to the author’s life and what relates to him. We also stated our approach of inspection and what was available of manuscripts to us. We ask Almighty Allah that we were successful in inspecting and commenting on this letter.
