Hamdan Ibn Abd Al-Rahim Al-Atharibi
Abū al-Fawāris Ḥamdān ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥīm al-Athāribī ( – 1147) was a Syrian Muslim physician, diplomat, administrator, poet and historian who wrote a wrote a ''History of the Franks'', an early account of the Crusades from a Muslim perspective., with al-Atharibi's fragments translated at 15–19. Life Most of what is known about al-Atharibi's life is drawn from Ibn al-Adim's , a biographical dictionary of Aleppo. It includes excerpts of his poetry. He was born around 1067 in the village of Ma'arat Atarib. The family later relocated to the larger village of Atarib. After Atharib came under Frankish (i.e., Crusader states, Crusader) rule around 1111, al-Atharibi administered some lands on behalf of the conquerors before having his wealth confiscated. Al-Atharibi moved to Aleppo probably in the late 1110s. He studied under Abu al-Hasan ibn Abi Jarada, Ibn Abi Jarada. He also studied astronomy, grammar, history, mathematics and medicine.

Crusades
The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and at times directed by the Papacy during the Middle Ages. The most prominent of these were the campaigns to the Holy Land aimed at reclaiming Jerusalem and its surrounding territories from Muslim rule. Beginning with the First Crusade, which culminated in the Siege of Jerusalem (1099), capture of Jerusalem in 1099, these expeditions spanned centuries and became a central aspect of European political, religious, and military history. In 1095, after a Byzantine request for aid,Helen J. Nicholson, ''The Crusades'', (Greenwood Publishing, 2004), 6. Pope Urban II proclaimed the first expedition at the Council of Clermont. He encouraged military support for List of Byzantine emperors, Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos, AlexiosI Komnenos and called for an armed pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Across all social strata in Western Europe, there was an enthusiastic response. Participants came from all over Europe and had a ...

Divan
A divan or diwan (, ''dīvān''; from Sumerian ''dub'', clay tablet) was a high government ministry in various Islamic states, or its chief official (see ''dewan''). Etymology The word, recorded in English since 1586, meaning "Oriental council of a state", comes from Persian (''dêvân'') and consequently spread via Turkish ''divan''. It is first attested in Middle Persian spelled as ''dpywʾn'' and ''dywʾn'', itself hearkening back, via Old Persian, Elamite and Akkadian, ultimately to Sumerian ''dub'', clay tablet. The word was borrowed into Armenian as well as ''divan''; on linguistic grounds this is placed after the 3rd century, which helps establish the original Middle Persian (and eventually New Persian) form was ''dīvān'', not ''dēvān'', despite later legends that traced the origin of the word to the latter form. The variant pronunciation ''dēvān'' however did exist, and is the form surviving to this day in Tajiki Persian. In Arabic, the term was firs ...

Al-Azimi
Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad al-Tanūkhī (), commonly known as al-ʿAẓīmī (1090–post-1161) was an Arab chronicler of the history of Aleppo. Al-Azimi was a poet and school master in Aleppo. He was a contemporary of the Aleppine historians Hamdan ibn Abd al-Rahim al-Atharibi and Ali ibn Abdu-illah ibn Abi Jarada. He belonged to the Tanukhid tribe. Al-Azimi authored a general annals of history of Syria beginning from the year 1063 and ending 1143/44 called ''Al Muwassal 'ala al-Asl al-Mu'assal''. This work was published by Claude Cahen as ''La Chronique abrégée d'al-ʿAẓīmī'' in the French ''Journal asiatique'' in 1938. Al-Azimi also composed the influential ''Ta'rikh Halab'' (The History of Aleppo), which was a frequent source for the later histories of Aleppo by Ibn al-Adim and Ibn Abi Tayyi. According to Cahen, The interest of the portions of al-'Azimi's work which have been preserved does not reside in their intrinsic value, but rather in th ...

Lost History
A lost literary work (referred throughout this article just as a lost work) is a document, literary work, or piece of multimedia, produced of which no surviving copies are known to exist, meaning it can be known only through reference, or literary fragments. This term most commonly applies to works from the classical world, although it is increasingly used in relation to modern works. A work may be lost to history through the destruction of an original manuscript and all later copies. Works—or, commonly, small fragments of works—have survived by being found by archaeologists during investigations, or accidentally by laypersons such as, for example, the finding Nag Hammadi library scrolls. Works also survived when they were reused as bookbinding materials, quoted or included in other works, or as palimpsests, where an original document is imperfectly erased so the substrate on which it was written can be reused. The discovery, in 1822, of Cicero's ''De re publica'' was one of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
