Born: 1753. Cairo [died]1825/1826. Cairo Egyptian historian. His ancestors were from Jabalt, Ethiopia. His seventh generation ancestor moved from Jabalt to Cairo, and in the late 15th or early 16th century, he entered the Jabalt Riwaq (a study facility with dormitories and classrooms) at Al-Azhar University, and eventually became its head (shaykh). His descendants inherited the position of head, and Jabalti became his own. His main work, `Ajā'ib al-āthār fi al-tarājim wa'l-akhbār (4 volumes), is a history of Egypt from 1688 to 1821, covering important periods in the modernization of Egypt, such as Napoleon's Egyptian campaign and the first half of Muhammad Ali's rule. It follows the traditional chronological format of Arab historians, but includes a wealth of biographies of important people. He seems to have intended to write a sequel, but it is doubtful whether he ever did so. His histories were avoided by the descendants of Muhammad Ali, and the complete works were not printed until 79 or 80. He also wrote several other works, including "Muzhir al-taqdīs bi-dhahāb dawlat al-Faransīs," a history of the French occupation of Egypt, but no edition of "The Thousand and One Nights" has yet been discovered.

[生]1753. カイロ [没]1825/1826. カイロ エジプトの歴史家。先祖はエチオピアのジャバルトの人。7代目の祖先がその地からカイロに移り,15世紀末か 16世紀初め頃,アズハル大学内にあるジャバルトの人たちのリワーク (寄宿舎,教室などをもつ勉学設備) に入り,やがてその学頭 (シャイフ) となった。その後,子孫が学頭の地位を世襲し史家ジャバルティーにいたった。主著『伝記と史話との伝承の不思議さ』`Ajā'ib al-āthār fī al-tarājim wa'l-akhbār (4巻) は 1688~1821年のエジプトの歴史で,ナポレオンのエジプト遠征やムハンマド・アリーの支配時代の前半など,エジプト近代化の重要時期を含む。アラブ史家の伝統的な編年史形式に拠っているが,それに重要人物の伝記を豊富に入れてある。続編を書く意図があったらしいが,実行したかどうか疑問となっている。彼の史書はムハンマド・アリーの子孫から忌避されたため,全巻が印刷されたのは 79年または 80年になってからであった。彼にはこのほか,フランス軍のエジプト占領時代の歴史"Muzhir al-taqdīs bi-dhahāb dawlat al-Faransīs"など数著があったが,それらのうち『千一夜物語』の校訂本などはまだ発見されていない。 出典 ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典について 情報 |
