The Khaldounian text between creativity and fabrication

Abstract

The nature of the Khalduni text, which is full of various knowledge, and was written by a man who combined the characteristics of a scientist, thinker, politician, philosopher, historian, jurist, mystic, human being, and other characteristics that can be combined in a unique thinker, has made the task of looking at his written text difficult for many scholars. The task is based on several factors due to the nature of the specialization of these scholars, as well as their different inclinations and interests, and hence their use of the Khalduni text. Some researchers raised it to the ranks of creative pioneers, and considered it a civilizational breakthrough and attributed to it leadership in many fields, and some of them tried to dwarf and strip it. Of all scientific titles, he considered it merely a transmitter and nothing more. Based on what was mentioned, and in search of the extent of the effectiveness of these studies in classifying the Khalduni text, we will attempt to address in this study the extent to which these studies enable us to correctly understand the Khalduni text and use it inits context.

Keywords: Khaldunian text, creativity, fabrication, Khaldunian studies.
