Al-Qifti or Ibn al-Qifti (''Djamal al-Din Abu 'l-Hasan 'Ali b. Yusuf b. Ibrahim b. 'Abd al-Wahid al-Shaybani'') (lived ca. 1172-1248) was a medieval Muslim writer. He is remembered today mainly for his ''History of Learned Men''. ==Life and Works== He was a native of Qift in Upper Egypt. He studied in Cairo, and moved to Jerusalem and later to Aleppo, where he compiled most of his works. 26 of his works are known by title, of which only two survive: *The ''History of Learned Men'' (''Kitab Ikhbar al-'ulama' bi-akhbar al-hukama' '', usually referred to simply as ''Ta'rikh al-hukama' ''), which exists in an epitome by al-Zawzani (written in 1249). It contains 414 biographies of physicians, philosophers and astronomers.〔ed. J. Lippert, Leipzig 1903. Online at Google Books here ().〕 * ''Inbah al-ruwat 'ala anbah al-nuhat'' which contains about a thousand biographies of Muslim scholars.〔parts i-iii ed. by Muh. Abu 'l-Fadl Ibrahim, Cairo AH 1369-74〕 Some fragments survive of the posthumous ''Akhbar al-Muhammadin min al-shu'ara (Ms. Paris Arab. 3335). The lost works dealt mostly with historiography, including a history of Cairo, a history of the Seljuks, and histories of the Mirdasids, of the Buyids, of Mahmud b. Sabuktakin, of the Maghreb, and of the Yemen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Qifti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
