Abd al-Quddus al-Ansari (1906–1983) was a prominent Saudi Arabian writer, historian, and linguist known for his significant contributions to Arabic literature and historical studies. Born in Medina, he played a vital role in documenting the history and culture of the Arabian Peninsula. Al-Ansari was the founder of “Al-Manhal,” one of the first cultural magazines in Saudi Arabia, which greatly influenced literary and intellectual thought in the region. His works include studies on the history of pre-Islamic Arabia, explorations of linguistic heritage, and numerous articles and essays that have shaped modern Arabic literary criticism. 23,5 x 16 cm
