The origin of his family is from the al-Mashrouqi family of the Syrian city of Homs. Al-Himsi's ancestors have migrated to Aleppo during the first half of the 16th century and embraced the al-Himsi surname. Al-Himsi lost his father when he was 15 years old. He was raised by his mother Sousan Dallal in a highly educated community. His uncle; the prominent writer Gebrail Dallal ((アラビア語:جبرائيل دلال)) had a great influence on him, motivating his love towards the Arabic literature and poetry. He received his preliminary education in the Roman Catholic school of Aleppo. Later, he studied Arabic and French literature in the "Terre-Sainte College" of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in Al-Shibani Church, Aleppo. Al-Himsi became a wealthy and successful tradesman, visiting Marseille and Paris and other French cities for several occasions. He mastered the French language during his long stays in France. He left his commercial activities in 1905. After the 1908 revolution in the Ottoman Empire, he was elected as a member of the Aleppo city council for many times and once as the assistant of the head of the council.〔(Aleppos:Qustaki al-Himsi (in Arabic) )〕 The cultural knowledge and wealth of al-Himsi was prompted through his vast collection of Arabic and European books and publications, as well as his great love of reading the works of the elite European poets. He was known as the Voyager Poet due to his frequent visits to France, England, Italy, Egypt, Beirut and Constantinople. In 1922, he was appointed member of the Scientific Academy in Damascus. Despite of his great love for travel, al-Himsi lived and worked in Aleppo throughout his life until his death in 1941. 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「Qustaki al-Himsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
