Abd al-Rahman al-Jabarti (1753–1825) ((アラビア語:عبد الرحمن الجبرتي)), full name: Abd al-Rahman bin Hasan bin Burhan al-Din al-Jabarti ((アラビア語:عبد الرحمن بن حسن بن برهان الدين الجبرتي)), often simply known as Al-Jabarti, was scholar and chronicler who spent most of his life in Cairo. ==Biography== Little is known of Al-Jabarti's life. According to Franz Steiner, he was born in the village of Tell al-Gabarti in the northern Delta province of Beheira, Egypt.〔al-Jabarti, 'Abd al-Rahman. History of Egypt: 'Aja'ib al-Athar fi 'l-Tarajim wa'l-Akhbar. vol.1. Franz Steiner Verlag Stuttgart. 1994.〕 Abdulkader Saleh asserts that Al-Jabarti was instead born in Cairo.〔Abdulkader Saleh, "Ǧäbärti," in Uhlig, Siegbert, ed., ''Encyclopaedia Aethiopica: D-Ha''. Wiesbaden:Harrassowitz Verlag, 2005, p. 597.〕 Al-Jabarti's family was of Somali background.〔 According to his writings, his name comes from his "seventh-degree grandfather," Abd al-Rahman, who was the earliest member of his family known to him.〔David Ayalon, "The Historian al-Jabartī and His Background," ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London'', 1960, p.238〕 The older Abd al-Rahman was from the Jabarah ( located in horn of africa ) He visited the ''Riwaqs'' of the Jabarti communities in Mecca and Medina before making it to Egypt, where he became Sheikh of the ''Riwaq'' there and head of the Jabarti community (Muslims from the Horn region).〔〔 Al-Jabarti was trained as a Sheikh at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo. He began keeping a monthly chronicle of local events. This document, which is generally known in English simply as ''Al-Jabarti's History of Egypt'' and known in Arabic as ''Aja'ib al-athar fi al-tarajim wal-akhbar'' (عجائب الاَثار في التراجم والاخبار), became a world-famous historical text by virtue of its eyewitness accounts of Napoleon's invasion and Muhammad Ali's seizure of power. The entries from his chronicle dealing with the French expedition and occupation have been excerpted and compiled in English as a separate volume entitled ''Napoleon in Egypt''. According to Marsot, at the end of his life, Al-Jabarti chose to be buried in Tell al-Gabarti, the town to which he traced his descent.〔Marsot, Afaf Lutfi el-Sayyed.
