The European name for the Nizari sect, a branch of the Ismaili sect of Shiite Islam. It comes from the Arabic word hashisin, meaning a person who uses cannabis hashish. From 1090 to about 150 years ago, they established their base in the mountains of Alamut in Iran, and killed the viziers and generals of the Seljuk Empire with a policy of assassinating all enemies. The Crusader soldiers feared the leader of this sect, calling him the "Elder of the Mountain," but he was destroyed by the Mongol army in 1256. The English word "assassin" comes from this. → Related Articles Assassination Source : Heibonsha Encyclopedia About MyPedia Information |
イスラム教シーア派に属するイスマーイール派の分派ニザール派へのヨーロッパ人による呼称。アラビア語のハシーシーン(大麻ハシーシュを用いる人の意)に由来する。1090年から約150年間,イランのアラムートに山中本拠地を構え,あらゆる敵を暗殺するという方針でセルジューク朝の宰相,将軍らを殺した。十字軍の将士もこの派の首長を〈山の長老〉と呼んで恐れたが,1256年モンゴル軍に滅ぼされた。英語のassassin(暗殺者)はこれに由来する。 →関連項目暗殺 出典 株式会社平凡社百科事典マイペディアについて 情報 |
