George Elmacin (or Girgis Al-Makin) (1205–1273), also known as Ibn al-'Amid, was an Arabic Christian historian. ==Life== The details of his life come from passages at the end of his own history. He was born in Cairo in Egypt in 1205. His full name in Arabic was Ğirğis ibn Abī Ùl-Yāsir ibn Abī Ùl-Mukārīm ibn Abī Ùt.-T. ayyib al-ÿAmīd (called) al-Makīn.〔Graf, ''Geschichte'' vol. 2, p.348; Witakowski p.293, n.53〕 His great grandfather was a merchant from Tikrit in Iraq who settled in Egypt.〔Seleznyov, Nikolai N., "Koptskij istorik" - potomok vyhodtsa iz Tikrita: al-Makin ibn al-ʿAmid i ego “Istorija”, in: Tochki/Punkta 1-2/10 (2011): 45-53.〕 He was a Coptic Christian and was known in the east as Ibn al-Amid. He held high office in the military office (''dīwān al-ğayš'') in Cairo. Such a position carried risks. He was twice imprisoned, possibly because of links to the contemporary unrest in Syria at the time of the Mongol invasion; in one case for over a decade.〔Gawdat Gabra, ''Historical Dictionary of the Coptic Church'', Scarecrow Press (2008), ISBN 978-0-8108-6097-1. pp.22〕 After his release, he wrote his chronicle in the years 1262-8, after his career (and his time in prison) was over. Later he moved to Damascus, where he died in 1273. 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「George Elmacin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
