ARABIC MEDIEVAL SOURCES ABOUT ARMENIAN COMMUNITY OF ANTIOCH REGION

From the conquest of Antioch by the Crusaders in 1098 until the establishment of the Ayyubid dynasty, Byzantine, Assyrian, Latin, but especially Arab historians and chroniclers speak of Armenians in and around Antioch.

Arab historians mention the Armenians in particular for their role in the siege and capture of Antioch by the Crusaders, the Armenian revolt of Arta against the Crusaders after the establishment of the Latin Duchy of Antioch, and their participation in the Cru­ sades to the East as mercenaries. They talk about the Armenians in the urban and rural areas of Antioch, mention the fortresses and castles belonging to the Armenians. Later, in their works, the Armenians are mentioned during the invasions of Salaheddin, and the Ayyubid period as a whole. Interesting details about the activities of local Armenians and their relations with the Arabs are also mentioned.

Below is a list of historians referring to these events:

–Ibn Asaker (born 1150), Tarikh Dimashq (History of Damascus).

–Muhammad Ibn Ali al­Adim (1192 – 1262), Bughyat al­Talab fi Tarikh Halab (Everything Desirable about the History of Aleppo).

–Ibn al­Qalanisi (1160 – 1077), Mudhayyal Tarikh Dimashq (Continuation of the History of Damascus). Al­Qalanisi has made extensive use of the works of his contem­ poraries, Hamdan Ibn Abd­ul­Rahim al­Ataribi (b. 1147) and Ali Ibn Abdallah Ibn Abi Jaradeh (b. 1151), which are considered lost.

–The Story of Muhammad Ibn Ali al­Uzaymi (born 1161).

–Sapt Ibn al­Jawzi Yusuf Ibn Ghazoghli (died in 1256), Mir at al­Zaman fi Tarikh al­ Ayan (Mirror of Time in the Histories of Notables).

–Ali Izzeddin Ibn al­Asir s (1160 – 1233) multi­volume work “Al­Kamal fi­l Tarikh” (Complete History).

–Majd ad­Din Usama Ibn Munqez al­Kanani (1095 – 1188), Kitab al­I tibar (Book of Dignity).

–Ibn al­Shuhna (1402 – 1485), Al­Dar al­Muntakhab fi Tarikh Mamlakat Halab (Compilation of the History of the Kingdom of Aleppo).

Arab historians, while writing about Armenians in the course of history, also pay attention to Armenians properties, settlements, traditions and jobs, thus leaving to the coming generations valuable and independent information, such as Majd ad­Din Usama Ibn Munqez al­Kanani, Kitab al­I tibar, Ibn al­Shuhna, Al­Dar al­Muntakhab fi Tarikh Mamlakat Halab.

Some contemporary Syrian scholars, such as Souheyl Zakkar, Mohammed Damen and Fa ez Qosara, exclusively study the history and the accomplishments of the Armenians of Antioch region.
