Sinjil ((アラビア語:سنجل)) is a Palestinian town northeast of Ramallah in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate in the central West Bank. The village is bordered by Turmus Ayya and the Israeli settlement of Shilo. ==History== Tombs at Sinjil from the Middle Bronze Age have yielded an array of metal weapons. The village is thought to have taken its name from the Crusader town of St. Gilles,〔 being the home town of French Count Raymond VI of Toulouse 〔 who camped here on the first crusade, before entering Jerusalem.〔Conder, 1877, p. (88 ), quoting Fetellus, ca 1180 AD, p.(35 )〕 The same man later built a castle in Sinjil to protect the passage of passing caravans.〔(The village of Sinjel ) This Week In Palestine〕 Doubt over the Crusader origin of the name was raised by historian Levy-Rubin. A Samaritan chronicle, (ostensibly by Abu l-Fath), written in the 14th century but based on much older sources, twice refers to a location Sinḥil in the 8th or 9th century.〔 The Arab geographer Zakariya al-Qazwini in his ''Athar al-bilad'' cited a 10th-century mention of Sinḥil, though this cannot be verified from extant manuscripts.〔 Levy-Rubin proposes that Sinḥil was the original name of Sinjil, and that the Crusaders' association of the place with St Gilles was prompted by the Arab name rather than the reverse.〔 In the 1220s Yaqut al-Hamawi described Sinjil as "a small town of the province Filastin. Near it is the pit of Yasuf as Sadik (Joseph)".〔le Strange, 1890, p. (538 )〕 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「Sinjil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
