Abstract

This article concerns the conquest of Libya and Tunisia by Saladin (Salah al-Din) and the Ayyubids in the 1170s and 1180s. First it presents a reconstruction of the campaigns conducted by the Ayyubid mamlūks Sharaf al-Dīn Qarāqūsh and Ibn Qarātikīn in Libya and the conflict in Ifrīqiya (Tunisia) between the Almohads and the Ayyubids based on the relevant primary sources. Then the extent to which Saladin was responsible for these military expeditions is considered and finally the issue of the motive behind them is discussed. It is concluded that Salāh al-Dīn and his amirs invaded the Maghrib in order to control the northern termini of the eastern and central axes of the trans-Saharan trade routes, thereby gaining access to the West African gold which passed along these routes. This occurred at a time when there was a great shortage of precious metals in Egypt and Saladin was in need of cash to pay for his wars with the Crusaders in Palestine.
萨拉丁和马格里布的阿尤布战役
这篇文章是关于萨拉丁(Salah al-Din)和阿尤布王朝在1170年代和1180年代对利比亚和突尼斯的征服。首先,它根据有关的第一手资料,重建了阿尤比德mamlūks Sharaf al- d n Qarāqūsh和伊本Qarātikīn在利比亚进行的战役,以及阿莫哈德家族和阿尤比德家族在伊夫尔奇亚(突尼斯)的冲突。然后考虑了萨拉丁对这些军事远征的负责程度,最后讨论了他们背后的动机问题。结论是Salāh al- d n和他的埃米尔入侵马格里布是为了控制跨撒哈拉贸易路线东轴线和中轴线的北部终点,从而获得沿这些路线运输的西非黄金。这件事发生的时候,埃及的贵金属严重短缺,萨拉丁需要现金来支付他在巴勒斯坦与十字军的战争。
