Anthologies are the selections created by other representatives of their fields, in line with different purposes such as informing, educating, collecting, and storage authors or artists. As a matter of fact, this term has been associated with literature and especially poetry. Authors from both Turkish and Arabic literature have created poetry anthologies. The word "mecmua" also means the same, both of which mean to gather or to be gathered. The word mecmua is used in Arabic literature for anthologies. Abū Manṣūr al-Thaʿālibī appears before us as a man of letters in Arabic literature who produced works of this type. Thaʿālibī has a very important place in the Arabic language literature. As a matter of fact, even during his lifetime, his importance was noticed and his fame spread both in the East and in the West. Sealibi lived in a period that is accepted as the golden age of Islam. The period in which he lived exactly corresponds to the middle of the 4th century and the first quarter of the 5th century. This age, in which he grew up, made quite positive contributions to his scientific and literary personality. Due to the large number of the works, he wrote, the efficiency of the content and the comprehensiveness of the subjects, Thaʿālibī managed to attract the attention of scholars after his death, and he has made a name for himself especially in the field of Arabic language. As a matter of fact, Thaʿālibī was not only interested in the Arabic language and had a deep knowledge of it; He also came to the fore with his dominance in fields such as the science of criticism and the science of history. He has also accommodated works in these fields. It is possible to count Thaʿālibī's works named Yatimatu'd-Dahr, Fiqh al-luġa and Sirru'l-'Arabiyyah and Adab al-mulūk among the most famous of his works. However, despite all the positive circumstances, there is no satisfactory amount of information about Thaʿālibī's life, and the existing information is also self-repetitive. In this study, it is aimed to analyze Thaʿālibī's work named Man Ghābe ‘anhu’l-Muṭrib, which is an addendum to his poetry anthology called Ahsanu mā Sam‘itu, also known as Ahsanu'l-Mahāsin. In this work, Thaʿālibī writes from Ibn al-Muʿtazz (d. 296/908) to al-Mutanabbī (d. 354/965), from Abu ’l-Fatḥ al-Bustī (d. 400/1010), to al-Maʾmūn (d. 218/833) from Ṣāḥib b. ʿAbbād (d. 385/995) to al-Kindī (d. 252/866 [?]) he compiled the poems he collected from hundreds of poets. As he stated in the introduction of the work, while doing this, he aimed to choose the most beautiful and superior poems in terms of wording and meaning. As a matter of fact, this is a reference to the critic of Thaʿālibī. In addition, although the work is considered as a poetry anthology, it also contains quotations about prose. Five of the sixty or so titles he allocated are only about prose. Research; It consists of two parts, excluding the introduction and conclusion parts. In the first part, Thaʿālibī's life and works, in the second part, his work named Man Ghābe ‘anhu’l-Muṭrib, which is the main subject of the study, has been examined in terms of form and content, and the poems handled by him in the work have been evaluated in terms of their literary arts.
