Abstract:

At the beginning of the Mamluk period, the Damascene historian Abū Šāma and some of his successors invented a new but somehow short-lived genre of chronicles and biographical dictionaries, focusing on contemporary events and persons. Together with Ibn Rāfiʿ, Ibn Kaṯīr, Ibn Ḥiğğī and Ibn Qāḍī Šuhba, they formed a group of scholars whose texts interacted with each other, one author pursuing the narrative of his predecessor. In this article, we analyze these intertextual relations through the concept of “family of texts”.
