The article is dedicated to the study of omens in the chronicles of eight prominent Arab-Muslim historians who wrote about the Crusades ‘Imа̄d al-Dīn al-Iṣfahа̄nī, Bahа̄’ al-Dīn Ibn Shaddа̄d, Abū al-Faraj Ibn al-Jawzī, ‘Alī Ibn al-Athīr, Taqī al-Dīn al-Maqrīzī, Badr al-Dīn al-‘Aynī, Abū al-MaḥāsinIbn Taghrī Birdī, Mujīr al-Dīn al-‘Ulaymī.

A narrative about the Defense of Muslim Sacred Space in Arab Folklore of the Modern Era
For many centuries, the history of the Levant and Arabia have been marked by the conflicts for control of sacred spaces between representatives of various faiths, and this confrontation continues to this day. One of the most intense periods of this struggle was the era of the Crusades, the study of the memory of which in folklore sources is an important scientific task. Of significant interest in this case is the narrative about the defense of Mu…
Franks in the post-Crusade Merits of Jerusalem ( Fada’il al-Quds )
Merits of Jerusalem (Fada’il al-Quds), which belong to the genre of Islamic sacred geography, constitute a valuable but still under-researched source for studying the memory of the Crusades in the Levant and Egypt after the expulsion of the Crusaders from the Holy Land. Analysis of the most popular works of this genre created after 1291 shows that in the subsequent centuries the theme of the Crusades and the violation of the Islamic sacred spaces…
Sentiment Analysis of the Image of the Franks (ifranj) in the Arabic Folk Epic Sīrat Ḏа̄t al-Himma
The method of sentiment analysis opens up great prospects for historical and anthropological research, primarily for studying the problems of the construct of the image of Other. To test this method on the material of the Arabic language, I chose the Arabic Folk Epics as they are a conflux of the cultural memory of Arab population of Levant and Egypt, insufficiently investigated from the point of view of historical anthropology. The narratives of…
Facing the Franks Again
Recalling the Crusades emerges as a very signficant aspect of the image of the West in the Arab thought of the second half of the twentieth and the first decades of the twenty-first centuries. This article explores the roots of the this modern anti-Crusader rhetoric in the period between the world wars, both of which drastically altered the imaginary and self-perception of the populations of the Middle East and North Africa. It traces the main pa…
Vanquishers of the Crusaders
Although the militant jihād remains one of the most popular topics in modern Islamic studies, most of the works focus on ideologies and actions, leaving out the popular perception of this phenomenon. Our study of the storylines about confronting the Franks (ifranj) in the Arabic folk epics, inspired by the Crusades, shows that the protagonists of the epics are presented in the narratives precisely as the holy warriors, i.e., mujāhidūn, whose key …
Unsheathing Poet’s Sword Again
Both Arab and Western scholars agree that, starting in the mid-20th century, the correlation of Western Europeans with the Crusaders and the extrapolation of the term “Crusade” to modern military conflicts have become an integral part of modern Arab political discourse, and are also widely reflected in Arab culture. The existence of works examining references to the theme of the Crusades in Arab social thought, politics, and culture of the second…
The Memory of the Crusades in the Arabic Folk Epics
Considering the importance of the topos of the Crusades for the Arab discourses of the 19th - 21st centuries and its influence on the collective memory in modern Arab countries, the challenge of finding the roots of this phenomenon is of vital importance. This problem can be solved only through the analyses of the memory of the Crusades in Arab culture from the late 13th to the beginning of the 19th centuries. Proceeding from this, it seems relev…
