The scholars and the Francis in the history of Al-Jabarti

Considered Al-Jabarti the most prominent and important Egyptian historian in the eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century. His book "The History of Wonders of the Effects in Biographies and News" is famous as a main source for events in Egypt during the period of transformations before and after the French campaign. Al-Jabarti's history retains its classical value as an important source of information about the French campaign and the early period of Muhammad Ali Pasha's reign, but what concerns us here in the studies included in this book is to specifically observe the confrontation between traditional historiography and modern times, and the extent to which traditional methods respond to changing circumstances and the limits of that through a re-reading of biographies and news alike.
