Zusammenfassung:Al-Maqrizi's (d. 845/1442) last work, al-Habar 'an al-baSar, was completed a year before his death. This volume, edited by Jaakko Hämeen-Anttila, covers the history of pre-Islamic Iran from the Creation to the Parthians. Al-Maqrizi's work shows how Arab historians integrated Iran into world history and how they harmonized various currents of historiography (Middle Persian historiography, Islamic sacred history, Greek and Latin historiography).00Among al-Habar's sources is KitAb HurUSiyUS, the Arabic translation of Paulus Orosius' Historiarum adversum paganos libri VII. This source has only been preserved in one defective copy, and al-Maqrizi's text helps to fill in some of its lacunae.0
Beschreibung:"The present volume is the first of the Opera maiora. It contains one section of one of al-Maqrīzī’s major works and, more importantly, one of the least known: al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar (‘The History of Mankind’). Al-Maqrīzī divided it into six volumes and several sections. This original division will be respected. Each section will be edited and translated by a specialist on the subject; the title page of each volume will indicate the volume and section number according to al- Maqrīzī’s divisions. For reasons of space, some sections have been divided into several parts, as in the present case: The history of the Persians corresponds to the fourth section of volume 5 of al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar and will be published in two tomes, this one being the first." --- Foreword
