In the early period Islamic culture concentrated on religion. The literary and philosophical sciences were very weak.
At this time, Egypt was famous for its jurists and orators, such as Yazed Ibn Habib Al Masri, Abd Allah Ibn Lohaia, Al Layth Ibn Saad, Al-Imam Al-Shafii, and Othman Ibn Said the Al Kebty, known as "Warsh." Warsh was the head of the Egyptian readers and he died in year AH 197 (812 AD).
The literary movement revived from the third century AH (ninth century AD). Egyptian national historians began to emerge, who wrote Egypt's history, which was only known until that time through learning by heart and narration. The first of those national historians was Abd Al Rahman Ibn Abd Al Hakam and he wrote about Egypt's conquests and news. The information that came from Ibn Zolaq's book about the Egyptian Sepaweah indicates the flourishing of the literary movement in Al-Fustat by the end of the fourth century AH (tenth century AD).
Sepaweah was a professional in grammar and semantics and he had lots of cultural and strange stories of events that happened in Al-Fustat. The historian Ibn Zolaq was eager to collect them in a special book for the playwright .
