:''This article is about the geographer and historian, who should not be confused with the 14th Century Shafi scholar Ibn Kathir.'' Abu al-Fida ((アラビア語:أبو الفداء); or ''Abul-Fida' al-Ḥamawi'' or ''Abul Fida Ismail Hamvi'', fully ''Abu Al-fida' Isma'il Ibn 'ali ibn Mahmud Al-malik Al-mu'ayyad 'imad Ad-din''; also transliterated ''Abulfeda'', ''Abu Alfida'', etc.; November 1273 – October 27, 1331), was a Kurdish historian, geographer, and local governor of Hamāh.〔(Encyclopedia of the History of Science, Technology and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures, (edited by) Helaine Selin, pp. 7-8, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Netherlands, 1997 )〕〔(Identifiants et Référentiels Sudoc Pour L'Enseignement Supérieur et la Recherche - Abū al-Fidā (1273-1331) ) 〕 He was a prince of the Ayyubid dynasty and the author of ''The memoirs of a Syrian prince: Abu'l-Fidāʼ, Sultan of Ḥamāh''. The crater Abulfeda on the Moon, is named after him. ==Life== Abu'l-Fida was born in Damascus,〔Chambers Biographical Dictionary, ISBN 0-550-18022-2, page 5〕 where his father Malik ul-Afdal, brother of emir Al-Mansur Muhammad II of Hama, had fled from the Mongols. In his boyhood he devoted himself to the study of the ''Qur'an'' and the sciences, but from his twelfth year onward, he was almost constantly engaged in military expeditions, chiefly against the crusaders. In 1285 he was present at the assault of a stronghold of the Knights of St. John, and took part in the sieges of Tripoli, Acre and Qal'at ar-Rum. In 1298 he entered the service of the Mamluk Sultan Malik al-Nasir and after twelve years was invested by him with the governorship of Hama. In 1312 he became prince with the title Malik us-Salhn, and in 1320 received the hereditary rank of ''sultan'' with the title Malik ul-Mu'ayyad. For more than twenty years all together he reigned in tranquillity and splendour, devoting himself to the duties of government and to the composition of the works to which he is chiefly indebted for his fame. He was a munificent patron of men of letters, who came in large numbers to his court. He died in 1331. 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「Abu'l-Fida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
