WORKS 1Tarājimal-aʿyānminabnā al-zamān Ḥ.B. started writing his biographical dictionary of contemporaries, Tarājim alaʿyān min abnā al-zamān (The Biographies of Notables from the People of the Times)intheyear1009/1601withtheencouragementofMuḥammadAmīnal-ʿAjamī(d.1019/1610),thetreasurer(defterdār)ofDamascus.Heseemstohavepresented acopyoftheworktoal-ʿajamī,andlateranothercopytomuḥammadb.manjak(d. 1032/1623),aprominentmilitarynotableofDamascus.However,hewasstilladding passagestotheworkintheyearofhisdeath,1024/1615,andthereisnothingtosuggestthatheever completed it. Intheintroductiontohiswork,Ḥ.B.expressedhisdesiretoproduceaworkofhistoryinthetraditionofthegreathistoriansofthepast,suchasIbnKaṯīr(d.774/1373), Ibn al-aṯīr(d. 620/1223), Ibn Khallikān(d. 681/1282), Ibn Shaddād(d. 632/1235), andibnḥajaral-ʿasqalānī(d.852/1449).yet,ḥ.b. sworkdifferssignificantlyfrom those penned by the aforementioned historians, as it is mainly a biographical dictionaryofnotablesthattheauthorhadmetpersonally,andpeopletendtobeincluded inthedictionarytotheextentthattheyenterintotheauthor scircleofacquaintances. With very few exceptions, the only non-damascene notables who are accorded entriesintheworkarethoseḥ.b.metduringtripstotripoliin1009/1600,aleppoin 1017/1608,andtheHijāzin1021/1611.ItisthusḤ.B.whoinasenseholdsthework together,andheoftenappearsinit,meetingtheprotagonists,exchangingpoetrywith them, teaching them or being taught by them. Accordingly, many passages of the workareinthefirst-person.ḥ.b.alsoreliesalmostexclusivelyonoralsources.itis noteworthy that none of the historians mentioned above composed a similar work. The precursors of Ḥ.B. s conception of a biographical dictionary of contemporaries arerathertobefoundintheworksoftheprominentmamlukbelle-lettristṣalāḥuddīn al-ṣafadī(d.765/1363)and,closertoḥ.b. stimeandplace,thedamascenescholar IbnṬulūn(d.953/1546). 3 Ḥ.B. s work is an important historical source for the political history of Syria in his lifetime. He lived through a period in which Ottoman central authority over the regionwasweakenedandlocalleadersrosetoprominence,oftenbolsteredbyroaming mercenaries(sekbān) who sold their services to the highest bidder. These local notablesoftensquabbledandfoughtwitheachother,andsometimesignoredordefiedimperialorders.ḥ.b.livedthroughthesiegeofdamascusandthelootingofits extra-muralsuburbsin1015/1606bythetroopsofʿalījānbulād(d.1020/1611),the renegade governor of Aleppo, and Fakhruddīn al-maʿnī (d. 1045/1635), the Druze EmirofMt.Lebanon.Heviewedthisdevelopmentfromthestandpointofloyaltyto the Ottoman state, though his descriptions tend to be nuanced and balanced rather thanmerelypartisan.hewasalsooftencarefultodistinguishbetweenmerehear-say 2
3 and information obtained from what he considered more trustworthy and informed sources. The value of his observations is enhanced by the fact that he used to frequentthestatealot, toquoteacontemporarysource. 4 ManyofhisinformantsincludeDamascenemilitarynotablesandOttomandignitarieswhoparticipatedinsome capacityinthemajorpoliticalandmilitaryeventsofthetime.ḥ.b. scloserelations with the political-military elite were not to the liking of some of his contemporary scholars who thought close relations with the temporal authorities to be morally corrupting. However, it made him an informed observer of the major political and militaryeventsofhistime.

His work also provides information on the lives of (mainly ArabbutalsosomePersianandTurkish)poets,scribes,saintsand holyfools (majādhīb). The extant manuscripts indicate that Ḥ.B. regularly rewrote, deleted from, and addedtohisbiographicaldictionaryandthisprocessofrevisionseemstohavegone onuntiltheauthor sdeath.certainpassageshaveanalmostdiary-likefeel,withpassagesinthesameentryobviouslywrittenatdifferenttimes.otherpassagesaremore polishedandwritteninrhymedprose.onoccasion,anentrywillreadverydifferently indifferentextantmanuscripts.assuch,onecannothopetoeditḥ.b. sworkwiththe assumptionthatthereisanidealautographtobereconstructedoncescribal errors, omissions, and additions havebeenpeeledaway.giventheexistenceofsignificant variants in the extant manuscripts with an equal claim to authorial authority, a thoroughcomparisonofmanuscriptswouldofferafascinatinginsightintothewayin whichanottomanhistorianworked.

In 1959, the first volume of an edition of Ḥ.B. s Tarājim al-aʿyān appeared in print. The editor was Ṣalāḥuddīn al-munajjid, who introduced the volume with a lengthyandvaluableintroductiononthelifeofḥ.b.,basedonanumberofthenunpublished sources.

SomeofMunajjid seditorialdecisions,however,arequestionable.oneproblemis that he simply took at face value the colophons of manuscripts AH and B which only give the date on which Muḥibbī completed his edition and no indication of a dateonwhichtheywerecopiedfromthatedition andaccordinglyconcludedthat bothmanuscriptswerebythehandoffaḍlullāhal-muḥibbīhimself(despitethefact thatitishighlyunlikelythatthetwomanuscriptswerecompletedonthesamedate). Munajjid also noted the anomaly that the two manuscripts, with the same colophon and, in his opinion, same handwriting, in fact disagreed substantially in entire passagesaswellasintheorderingofbiographicalentries.indeed,manuscriptbwasadjudgedbymunajjidtobeclosertomanuscriptas,whichisindependentofmuḥibbī sedition,thantomanuscriptah.itshouldalsobenotedthatahlwardt,inhismagisterialverzeichnissofarabicmanuscriptsinberlin,judgedbtohavebeencopied inthe18 th century.hethusdidnotsimplyassumethatthecolophonmeantthatthe manuscriptwasbythehandofmuḥibbī.yetanotherreasontodoubtthatmanuscripts AHandBareactuallybyMuḥibbīisthat,asMunajjidnoted,thepassagesofPersian andturkishpoetryinḥ.b. sworkarecorruptinallthreemanuscriptsthatheused, whereas Faḍlullāh al-muḥibbī, who, according to his son Muḥammad Amīn, was knowledgeable in both languages, could hardly have dedicated a copy with such corruptionstoanottoman-turkishscholarandjudge.
