Abstract
A Al-Qadi Al-Fadil is one of the most influential personalities during Saladin reign, he was the closest advisor of him and policy planer of his state. In fact, his main title was the secretary or the director of (Diwan Al- Inshaa) but this institution was expanded at the hand of Al-Fadil to be like ministries of both interior and foreign affairs. Although Al-Fadil never wrote a book in history, he was the important eye-witness of the era of Saladin. His testimony came through his voluminous correspondence, official and non-official. The earliest chroniclers recognized the importance of his correspondence and use it extensively in their works on Saladin and the Ayyubid period. This dissertation concentrated on of the surviving manuscripts of Al- Fadil correspondence, that was Munich MS. Which belong to the well- known orientalist Étienne Marc Quatremère, and kept in the State library. The main focus of our subject is investigating the historical value of the MS. This work divided into two chapters, with an interlude and a conclusion, as follows: The interlude survey the Munich MS, and biography of Al-Qadi Al- Fadil and his relation with Saladin and other members of the Ayyubid family, especially Al-Malil Al Afdail B. Saladin, who had the lion –share of that correspondence. Chapter one manages to explore the significance of the MS as a source for the interior policy of the Ayyubid state, section one dealt with the Ayyubid family, starting with Al-Muazam Turanshah, Saladin's elder brother, then we consider the relation between Al-Fadil and Al-Afdal B. Saladin. B Section two examine the economic, social and administrative conditions of Egypt and Syria through the correspondence of Al-Fadil. There are precious materials related with the trade among Muslim and European Merchants. As for the administrative information, some remarks are contained in the letters send by Al-Fadil to Turanshah that. may added new lights on the mechanism of ayyubid state, especially, a decree issued by Saladin to city of Ikhmim about abolishing the taxes. Chapter two titled: The Ayyubid foreign relations through Munich MS. It subdivided into four section; section one devoted to the letters sent to the Abbasid Caliph and his high officials, Those letters are contained issues related with the mutual relation, and the caliphate role in mediating between Saladin and Zengids of Aleppo and Mosul. In section two we elaborate in describing the Ayyubid- Zengid relation through Munich MS. Saladin defending through those letters his attitude toward his foe and struggled to show the Abbasid Caliphate his strong position against them. Section three surveyed the materials about the Ayyubid relation with another Muslim power, that was the Artukids principality in Jazirat Ibn Umar . The most important letter that of surrender of the strong castle of Amid. Unfortunately, Munich MS didn’t added much to our sources about the Muslim-crusading warfare, so we just give only a section to study it. Lastly, we conclude our dissertation with some results, emphasizing on the importance of the correspondence of Al-Qadi Al-fadil as a unique source for the early history of the Ayyubid Period and the potential importance of it, that put a urgent need to edit the MSS of those correspondence in a mutual project among specialists in Medieval Islamic history.
