Authors

Abstract

Nowadays intertextuality phenomenon is very important as a new theory that presents new ideas in literature criticism and deals with connections and interaction between texts. According to this theory, each text is established on basis of previous texts.
Ebrahim Ebne Sahl Andolosi is among poets that has been influenced by different text as proverbs, quotations and other poets' poems; but he has been influenced by Quran mainly that imported verses of Quran in his poems sometimes very smartly and hiddenly and sometimes apparently in large level. In this paper, after referring to poet's usage from proverbs, poets' poems and hadithes, has dealt with intertextuality of Quran and Divan that is main part of  the paper. In part of intertextuality between Quran and Divan, the subject has been considered from two aspects. The first one is intertextuality between Divan and Quranic concepts and the one is intertextuality of Divan with Quran characters. Since evidences have been taken directly from EbneSahl's Divan and Quran, therefore Quran and Ebne Sahl's Divan are main references of this research. The results indicate that this intertextuality has been accomplished with least of change in words and meanings and often overtly and with parallel disavows, hence the basic theme of his poems consists of trancendantal concepts of Quran.
