BALADHURI (ABU-L-'ABBAS AHMAD IBN YAHYA IBN JABIR AL-BALADHURi)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 233 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALADHURI (ABU-L-'ABBAS AHMAD IBN YAHYA IBN JABIR AL-BALADHURi) , Arabian historian, was a Persian by
birth
 , though his sympathies seem to have been strongly with the Arabs, for Mas'udi refers to one of his works in which he refuted the Shu'ubites (see Ant `UBAIDA). He lived at the court of the caliphs aI-Mutawakkil and al-Musta'in and was tutor to the son of al-Mu'tazz. He died in 892 as the result of a drug called baladhur (hence his name). The
work
  by which he is best known is the Futuh ul-Bulddn (Conquests of Lands),. edited by M. J. de
Goeje
  as Liber expugnationis regionum (Leiden, 187o ; Cairo, 1901).. This
work
  is a digest of a larger one, which is now Iost. It contains an account of the early conquests of
Mahomet
  and the early caliphs. Baladhuri is said to have spared no trouble in collecting traditions, and to have visited various parts of 'north Syria and
Mesopotamia
  for this purpose. Another
great
  historical work of his was the Ansdb ul-Ashraf (Genealogies of the Nobles), of which he is said to have written
forty
  parts when he died. Of this work the eleventh book has been published by W. Ahlwardt (Greifswald, 1883), and another
part
  is known in
manuscript
  (see
Journal
  of the German Oriental Society, vol. xxxviii. pp. 382-406). He also made some translations from Persian into Arabic. (G. W. T.)
