Al-Maqrīzī's "al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar". Vol. V, Section 6: The Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and Goths

Description

Critical Edition, Annotated Translation and Introduction by Mayte Penelas. This volume contains the edition and translation of the chapter of al-Maqrīzī’s 'al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar' dealing with Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and Goths. This chapter is, for the most part, an almost exact reproduction of Ibn Ḫaldūn’s 'Kitāb al-ʿIbar', from which al-Maqrīzī derived material from many other sources, including prominent Christian sources such as 'Kitāb Hurūšiyūš', Ibn al-ʿAmīd’s 'History', and works by Muslim historians like Ibn al-Aṯīr’s 'Kāmil'. Therefore, this chapter of 'al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar' is a continuation of the previous Arabic historiographical tradition, in which European history is integrated into world history through the combination of Christian and Islamic sources. ‎‎Preface ‎Plates ‎Abbreviations ‎Introduction ‎1.
