Ibn Isḥāq

Japanese: イブン･イスハーク（英語表記）Ibn Isḥāq

He is the author of the oldest complete biography of Muhammad, the "Biography of the Prophet," compiled between 704 and 767. It was originally a trilogy called the "Book of Maghazi," but was lost over time and is now known to us as the "Biography of the Prophet," edited by Ibn Hisham. Both his grandfather and father were famous scholars of their time, who came to Medina as prisoners of war and were released. He studied in Medina under his father and Zuhrī, but was shunned by the elders of the academic world in Medina, and traveled around the country before dying in Baghdad shortly after it was founded.

まとまったムハンマド伝として最も古い《預言者の伝記》の著者。もと《マガージーの書》と呼ばれた三部作であったが，古く散逸し，イブン･ヒシャームの編集した《預言者の伝記》として今日に伝えられる。戦争捕虜としてメディナに来て解放された祖父も父も当時の著名な学者。父やズフリーなどからメディナで学んだが，メディナ学界の長老にうとまれ，各地を歴訪し，建設直後のバグダードで没した。【後藤晃】
