Al-Maqrizi's (d. 845/1442) last work, al-H abar 'an al-basar, was
completed a year before his death. This volume, edited by Jaakko
Hameen-Anttila, covers the history of pre-Islamic Iran during the
Sasanian period and the conquest. Al-Maqrizi's work shows how Arab
historians integrated Iran into world history and how they
harmonised various currents of historiography (Middle Persian
historiography, Islamic sacred history, Greek and Latin
historiography). This part harmonises the versions of Miskawayh's
Tagarib, al-T abari's Ta'rih , and several other sources, producing
a fluent narrative of Iran from the early 3rd century until 651. It
also includes the complete text of 'Ahd Ardasir, here translated
for the first time into English.
