Zusammenfassung:During the Ayyūbid and Mamlūk eras, several desastrous earthquakes happened in the Near East and in Egypt. These catatrophes met their echo in Arabic poetry. The poets described not only the earthquakes and the devastations they caused. They also mourned the victims and took up the theological aspects of the theme: the omnipotence, justice and mercy of God, the earthquakes as a punishment for sins and as an exhortation to repent. The article exemplifies this with 25 poetical pieces, mostly taken from historical sources as well as from the Dīwān of Usāmah Ibn Munqidh, and points to the rhetorical devices by which some poets adorned their verses.
