13. The Presentation of the Franks

- The Presentation of the Franks .
- “Mysterious are the works of the Creator, the author of all things! When one comes to recount cases regarding the Franks, he cannot but glorify Allah (exalted is he!) and sanctify him, for he sees them as animals possessing the virtues of courage and fighting, but nothing else; just as animals have only the virtues of strength and carrying loads. ...
- The modern reader is able to examine these works in order to determine what the Muslim view was of the Crusades and those who fought in them, and so to understand the motives behind the Muslims’ initial reactions to the Crusaders and their subsequent interaction with the Franks who settled in the Holy Land. ...
- As one examines the sources for the period, it becomes apparent from the way that the Franks are presented that there were certain initial characteristic attitudes that prevailed among the Muslims, which remained throughout the period, although they changed significantly as time progressed, as a consequence of increased contact with the Franks who now settled in the area. ... One can therefore examine the development of Muslim attitudes to the Franks, and see how this affected their interaction with them. ...
- In this dissertation an attempt has been made to determine the development of the attitudes of Muslims towards the Franks during the period covering the Crusades of the 12th Century, by examining five major sources from the period, and seeing how the Franks are presented in each. ...
- Despite these limitations, Ibn al-Qalanisi’s work does contain valuable information concerning Frankish interaction with the Muslims during the period, and it is therefore important to consider how he presents the Franks. However, before considering the presentation of the Franks in the text, it is necessary to consider how much Ibn al-Qalanisi knew about them. ... This and the fact that it is known that Ibn al-Qalanisi was resident in Damascus, suggest that he had a fairly restricted view of what events were taking place outside of the city, and therefore would not have had a very great knowledge of the Franks and their behaviour. There is no account in the text of Ibn al-Qalanisi ever having any personal contact with the Franks, and he refers to them as if they are one mass of humanity, and shows little awareness of the variety of countries that they come from. ...
- In that year news came from the region of Constantinople, and the countries of the Franks and the Byzantines and others near them, of the appearance of kings of the Franks from their countries, including Alman and Alfunsh. ...
- The fact that Ibn al-Qalanisi refers to Conrad as “Alman”, evidently thinking that this is his name, and not his nationality, shows that he did not have a very good knowledge of the countries and origins of the Franks. ...
- Another comment made by Ibn al-Qalanisi also leads the reader to doubt either his knowledge of the Franks, or the attention he is paying to what he is writing. Several times in his text, he makes reference to quarrels and disputes that took place among the Franks. ...
- In Muharram of it (the year), news came from the region of the Franks of the occurrence of a dispute between them, contrary to the custom current among them concerning that. ...
- This apparent contradiction in the text suggests that either Ibn al-Qalanisi is paying little attention to what he is writing or that he has little knowledge of the Franks. It seems that he may be taking his information from another source who told him that disputes were not usual among the Franks and, despite his own experience and the disputes he has heard about himself, he is assuming that the source is reliable, and that what he has been told is true, as he does not know enough about the Franks to suggest confidently that the case may be different. In this way, what he writes serves to undermine any confidence the modern reader may have in Ibn al-Qalanisi’s own knowledge of the Franks. ...
