Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume contains the edition and translation of the chapter of al-Maqrizi's al-H abar 'an al-basar dealing with Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, and Goths. This chapter is, for the most part, an almost exact reproduction of Ibn Haldun's Kitab al-'Ibar, from which al-Maqrizi derived material from many other sources, including prominent Christian sources such as Kitab Hurusiyus, Ibn al-'Amid's History, and works by Muslim historians like Ibn al-Atir's Kamil. Therefore, this chapter of al-H abar 'an al-basar 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.
