ملخص
This short notice provides a novel and preliminary analysis of the source for the first Arabic history of the crusades and contributes to the understanding of the penetration of the crusades as a distinct phenomenon into the Islamic world. The Arabic history Min Tarīkh al-urūb al-muqaddasa fī l-mashriq al-madūwa arb al-alīb was published in Jerusalem in 1865 under the authorship of the (late) Melkite patriarch Maximos III Mazloum (d. 1855). The book was a modified translation of the French Les Guerres saintes d'Outre-Mer ou tableau des croisades retracé d'après les chroniques contemporaines published in 1840 by Maxime de Montrond who was heavily inspired by Michaud's Histoire des croisades. Though created in a Christian Francophile milieu it seems clear that the Arabic translation was intended not only for a Christian audience, but also for a Muslim readership, as evidenced by examples, provided here, of the modifications of the French original.
