Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Governors of Egypt Among the numerous sciences known to the Muhammadan world, history may be said to play one of the most important parts. The subject is treated from various standpoints. The chief one, naturally, is the chronicling of events which have taken place throughout the world from its creation to the writer's time.1 A second deals with a Specific country. This may cover every phase of the government's administration and relations with foreign states from the formation of the state to whatever date the writer may choose to carry it down. Then again we find a still further narrowing down to certain dynasties. Side by side with this may be placed the histories of separate districts and cities of a country.3 Indeed, an account of the holders of a public office, which at times borders on a biographical dictionary, is likewise termed a history.' To this class a history of the governors of Egypt, called the T asmiyat Wakit Meier written by Abii 'umar Muhammad b. Yasuf al-kind'i may be said to belong.
