Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Abu-l-'Abbas Ahmad ibn Mohammed al-Maqqari, or Al-Makkari, was an historian born in Tlemcen in present-day Algeria. After an early training in Tlemcen, al-Maqqari moved to Fez in Morocco and then to Marrakech, following the court of Ahmad al-Mansur, to whom he dedicated his Rawdat al-As (The garden of Myrtle) about the ulemas of Marrakech and Fes. After al- Mansur's death in 1012/1603, al-Maqqari established himself in Fes, where he was appointed both as mufti and as the imam of the Qarawiyyin mosque by al-Mansour's successor Zidan Abu Maali in 1618, but he had to leave Fez in that same year, probably because of the civil war between the Saadian sultans. He then made the pilgrimage to Mecca. In the following year he settled in Cairo. In 1620 he visited Jerusalem and Damascus, and during the next six years made the pilgrimage five times. In 1628 he was again in Damascus, where he gave a course of lectures on Bukhari's collection of Traditions, spoke much of the glories of Muslim Spain, and received the impulse to write his work on this subject later
