The Life of Saladin: Or, What Befell Sultan Yusuf by Ed Din, Beha is a historical biography that chronicles the life of Saladin, a renowned Muslim military leader and sultan of Egypt and Syria during the 12th century. The book is written by Beha Ed Din, a contemporary of Saladin who served as his secretary and chronicler, and provides a detailed account of Saladin's life, achievements, and legacy.The book begins with Saladin's early life and upbringing in Tikrit, Iraq, and follows his rise to power as a military commander in the service of the Muslim Ayyubid dynasty. It covers his conquest of Egypt, his campaigns against the Crusaders in the Holy Land, and his eventual capture of Jerusalem in 1187, which marked a turning point in the Crusades.The Life of Saladin also delves into Saladin's personal life, including his relationships with his family, his advisors, and his enemies. It explores his religious beliefs, his military strategy, and his diplomatic skills, which allowed him to forge alliances with other Muslim leaders and negotiate peace treaties with his Christian adversaries.Throughout the book, Beha Ed Din provides vivid descriptions of the battles, sieges, and political intrigues that shaped Saladin's career, as well as insights into the cultural and social context of the time. He also offers his own reflections on Saladin's character, portraying him as a just and merciful ruler who embodied the virtues of Islam.Overall, The Life of Saladin: Or, What Befell Sultan Yusuf is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most important figures in medieval Islamic history, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Crusades, Middle Eastern history, or the life of Saladin himself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
