    Jaakko Hämeen-Anttila, "Al-Maqrīzī's "al-Ḫabar ʿan al-bašar". Vol. V, Section 4: Persia and Its Kings, Part I"
    English, Arabic | 2017 | ISBN: 9004355537 | PDF | pages: 524 | 24.5 mb

    Now available in Open Access thanks to support of the University of Helsinki. Al-Maqrīzī's (d. 845/1442) last work, al-Ḫabar ʿan 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-Maqrīzī'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).
    Among al-Ḫabar's sources is Kitāb Hurūsiyūs, the Arabic translation of Paulus Orosius' Historiarum adversum paganos libri vii. This source has only been preserved in one defective copy, and al-Maqrīzī's text helps to fill in some of its lacunae.
