The Narrative Discourse in (Ajaa’b Al-Maqdour fi Nawa’b Timur) book that written by Ibn Arabshah (who died 854 AH)

Abstract

 Aja’b Al-Maqdour was composed by Ibn Arabshah in the biography of the Mughal ruler Ghazi Timur, at a later time that is later than the time of the tale, and in a place different from its places, although the author had been alive through some of its chapters. the author choses to tell a different tale, heading to his unannounced narrator, but rather it is implicit, and the closest is that the characteristics of the narrator are represented by the owner of the Diwan ( collection of poems for one writer) in Cairo, and the author's perspective that agrees with the Ottoman and Mamluk perspectives in denouncing Timur. In addition, the author uses the Mongol perspective clearly and also the he uses different types of narrative movements in (Ajaa’b Al-Maqdour) namely, deletion and summation, and each of them contributes to the acceleration of the narration. The pause, the spectacle in (Ajaa’b Al-Maqdour) anticipate in the scolding and in the praising internal external retrieval, a repetitive internal inside retrieval, and the imperfection and creativity make a distance between the tale and its narrator; and they cause degrading and increase praising and the like. The author adhered to what the literature of his time approved, and took what was accepted by its audience, but some of the literature and texts of the ages have a good fortune to remain, and some of did not exceed its era.
