Masoudi (2) - مجله جلوه معرفی و نقد

خلاصه ماشینی:

It appears that the aforementioned books have been lost and scholars are not aware of them, except for the following books: 1- Muruj al-Dhahab wa Ma'adin al-Jawhar - Masudi began writing this book in the year 233 and completed it in 633 in Fustat, Egypt, but later revised it and mentioned events up to the year 543. The book that is available today and has been printed several times in two volumes and sometimes in four volumes is the same first version; it seems that the second version, which Masudi described and defined in Kitab al-Tanbih wa al-Ishraf to such an extent that it should be considered the sequel to his Akhbar al-Zaman, is no longer available. This version contains histories from the beginning of the world until the year 543 during the caliphate of al-Muti' al-Abbasi, and it consists of 563 parts, the sum of which is named Muruj al-Dhahab wa Ma'adin al-Jawhar, but each was an independent book (al-Tanbih wa al-Ishraf, p. Muruj al-Dhahab has been of interest to general researchers and writers from the author's time until today, and they have held special views regarding it, especially in recent centuries when Western scholars also realized the importance of this book, and it has been translated into several European languages: The famous orientalist Barbier de Meynard translated it into French, and this translation was published in Paris in 1872 in 9 volumes. 2-Kitab al-Tanbih wa al-Ishraf - The method of this book is like Muruj al-Dhahab, but since it is Masudi's last work, it can be said that a summary of his research has been collected in this book.
