Terminological Dictionaries between the Integration of Sciences and Harmony of Arts: Al-Khawarizmi’s Mafatih al-Uloom (387 AH) and Al-Qannuji’s Abjad al-Uloom (1307 AH) as a Model

This research explores cognitive integration in Arabic terminological dictionaries by examining their structure, compilation methods, and intellectual aims.It argues that Arabic dictionaries were not solely products of lexicography but served as cognitive spaces uniting various sciences and arts.Focusing on encyclopedic terminological dictionaries, the study analyzes how scientific terms were systematized within a unified framework.Using a descriptive-analytical approach supported by historical and comparative methods, it reveals that Arab scholars integrated disciplines rather than separating them, as seen in Mafatih al-Uloom by Al-Khawarizmi and Abjad al-Uloom by Al-Qannuji.These works encompass terms from both Arab and non-Arab sciences, showcasing the Arabic language's adaptability in expressing diverse fields of knowledge.
