This paper is concerned mainly with an unprecedented phenomenon,
which deserves more examination and analysis: it is the Fatimid writers’
tendency toward finding a the interrelation between poetry and prose, and
showing how far their memorization
of poetry and prose effects the
emergence of this phenomenon. Therefore, this paper attempts at
unraveling three important aspects: first, identifying the concept, the
beginnings of the interrelation; second, the genres of the interaction
between a poem and a letter; third, the leitmotivs of the interrelation
between a poem and a letter in the writings of Fatimid writers.
