Ibn Dāniyāl
1248‐1310
An ophthalmologist born in Iraq and moved to Egypt, he is known as a unique scriptwriter for shadow puppetry. Scripts remaining include "Shadows of the Imagination," "Azeeb and Ghalib," and "The Enchanted One," all of which are comical works backed by sharp observations of reality. The drama unfolding within a solid plot sharply satirizes the society of the time, and he is highly regarded as a pioneer of the Arab comedy tradition that continues to this day. [Kuroda Juro]

イラクで生まれ,エジプトに移住した眼科医。ただしユニークな影絵芝居の台本作者として知られる。《想像の影》《アジーブとガリーブ》《魅せられた者》といった台本が残されているが,それらはいずれも鋭い現実観察に裏づけされた喜劇的な作品である。骨太い筋書の中で展開されるドラマは,当時の社会を痛烈に風刺しており,現代に及ぶアラブ喜劇の伝統のさきがけとして高い評価をうけている。【黒田 寿郎】
