Now available in Open Access thanks to support of the University of
Helsinki. 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 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). Among al-H abar'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.
