摘要
本文讨论了al- -Ṭurṭūshī(约451/1059-520/1126,或Jumādā I 525/ 1131年4月)在al- dhahab的Siyar A 'lām al- nubalha '(673/1274-748/1348)中的一段自传。本文报道了al-Ṭurṭūshī在478/1085-86年访问巴格达期间的一系列引人注目的气象现象。菲耶罗将这个故事解释为日食的描述,并将其视为al-Ṭurṭūshī转向禁欲主义的起源,与早期Muḥammad Iḅn Waḍḍāḥ的类似故事相对应。我在这里展示,根据天文记录,当时巴格达没有日食,因此al-Ṭurṭūshī所经历的不可能是日食。此外,al-Ṭurṭūshī并不理解它曾经是一个。因此,它不可能是他转向禁欲主义的原因。这一描述更自然地指向沙尘暴或沙尘暴。因此,在al-Ṭurṭūshī和Muḥammad Iḅn Waḍḍāḥ的生活的这一方面之间没有任何联系,无论是文学上的还是其他方面的。
Mal tiempo en Bagdad: al-Ṭurṭūšī y el “eclipse” de 478/1085-1086
The article discusses an autobiographical passage in the life of al-Ṭurṭūshī (ca. 451/1059-520/1126, or Jumādā I 525/April 1131) contained in the Siyar A‘lām al-Nubalā’ of al-Dhahabī (673/1274-748/1348). The text reports a remarkable set of meteorological phenomena during al-Ṭurṭūshī’s visit to Baghdad in 478/1085-86. Fierro interpreted the story as a description of an eclipse, and as lying at the origin of al-Ṭurṭūshī’s turn to asceticism, paralleling a similar story about the earlier Muḥammad Iḅn Waḍḍāḥ. I show here, based on astronomical records, that there was no eclipse at that time in Baghdad, consequently that what al-Ṭurṭūshī experienced could not have been one. Further, al-Ṭurṭūshī did not understand it as having been one. It could not, therefore, have been the cause of his turn to asceticism. The description points more naturally instead to a dust-storm, or simoom. There is therefore no link, literary or other, between this aspect of the life of al-Ṭurṭūshī and that of Muḥammad Iḅn Waḍḍāḥ.
