Title of the book: The purpose of the request in the history of Aleppo Authored by: Kamal al-Din Omar bin Ahmad bin Hibat Allah al-Aqili al-Halabi Ibn Al-‘Adim (died 660 AH) Reviewed by: Al-Mahdi Eid Al-Rawadiyah Edition: First 2016 Number of volumes: 12 Publisher: Al-Furqan Foundation for Islamic Heritage The book, which we have before us, is distinguished by being a compendium of various sciences, knowledge, and arts; although its main subject is the translation of notable figures and distinguished persons in various fields of knowledge, literature, rulers, politics, and those connected to the Aleppo region, whether residing or passing through it, it also includes diverse knowledge spread across religious sciences, hadith narration, literary sciences—both prose and poetry—and the routes of the countries, especially what occurs in northern Greater Syria, and the history of a prolonged period of our Islamic history. As for the benefit and importance of the book among its peers, it is clear and evident, understood by those engaged in history, due to the originality of its material and its uniqueness in many pieces of information and news not found elsewhere, as well as its methodology in criticizing narrations and texts and favoring correctness. The author of this book, Kamal al-Din Ibn Al-‘Adim, belongs to a high class of historians and writers of that era, and he was one of three companions who inadvertently contributed to smuggling and protecting heritage texts from loss and destruction during the events faced by the region due to the Mongol invasion in the mid-7th century AH; Ibn Al-‘Adim, Yaqut al-Hamawi, and Minister Jamal al-Din al-Qifti included in their writings, literary works, and biographical compilations long texts and many excerpts from books that were lost and forgotten over time, thus restoring their significance and introducing their contents and meanings. This publication relies on the original manuscripts of the author remaining from this book, which was the version accompanying the author in his last days during his stay in Cairo, and the study of the editor notes that it represents only about one-third of the entire book, in addition to later copies that helped in weighing, resolving ambiguities, and filling in missing parts.
