This dissertation is a study of the Futūḥ Miṣr (Conquest of Egypt) of Ibn 'Abd al-Ḥakam (d. 257/871), the earliest extant Arabic history of Egypt. Its primary aim is not to assess whether its information is 'authentic' - i.e. corresponding to an objective historical reality - though my findings are of relevance for those engaged in debates over authenticity. My goal instead is to explore the ideas about the past which are conveyed by this particular conglomeration of historical information and to propose methods through which we can expose and analyse different layers and types of authorial activity within a multi-vocal text like Futūḥ Miṣr. Ultimately, I use this analysis as the basis of a case study suggesting how we might more effectively historicise the generation and transmission of historical ideas in the early Islamic period. Part I of the thesis consists of three chapters which explore Futūḥ Miṣr as a whole, literary text which can be understood as an instantiation of the historical worldview of its composer. Part II of the thesis contains three chapters which each illuminate features of Ibn 'Abd al-Ḥakam's historical practice which are important prerequisites for the stratigraphic reading of Futūḥ Miṣr performed in Part III. Part III of the thesis uses the understanding of Ibn 'Abd al-Ḥakam's authorial techniques developed in Part II to expose the earlier packages of historical information which underpin Futūḥ Miṣr. These final three chapters demonstrate how Ibn 'Abd al-Ḥakam reinvested these pre-existing narratives with meaning at a micro-level - by interjecting commentary and accounts from other sources - and at a macro-level - by integrating them into the larger narrative structure of Futūḥ Miṣr. In sum, this thesis is the first systematic study of the sources, structure, and authorship of an early Arabic history, which both tests and expands our current understanding of the dynamics of early Islamic historical writing, and sheds light on numerous aspects of the changing uses of the past among the Muslim scholars of Umayyad and 'Abbāsid Egypt.

Estes Manuscritos foram produzidos no século XIX e não foram publicados e nem mesmo concluídos pelo autor, só chegando até nós devido ao trabalho de Carolyn Eisele, pesquisadora quem os editou e publicou no ano de 1976. A elaboração das notas foi inspirada no referencial metodológico da Hermenêutica de Profundidade de John B. Thompson. Nestas notas de pesquisa tematizamos a metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa, da historiografia e do campo de pesquisa da História da Educação Matemática; a Hermenêutica de Profundidade; os Paratextos Editoriais de Gérard Genette; trabalhos anteriores ao nosso que se inspiraram nos referenciais teórico-metodológicos da Hermenêutica de Profundidade e/ou dos Paratextos Editoriais para criação de suas metodologias de pesquisa; o processo de tradução dos Manuscritos; a biografia de Charles Sanders Peirce; a biografia da pesquisadora Carolyn Eisele; acontecimentos da História dos Estados Unidos e da Educação Estadunidense no período em que Peirce viveu; acontecimentos que envolveram a produção, arquivo e divulgação dos Manuscritos de Peirce; e sobre nossa experiência com a pesquisa. / Abstract: In this work we present the complete translation of the Primary Arithmetic's Manuscripts of Charles Sanders Peirce and some research notes created with the intention of subsidizing a Hermeneutics of the translated Manuscripts. These Manuscripts were produced in the nineteenth century and were neither published nor concluded by the author, coming to us only due to the work of Carolyn Eisele, a researcher whom organized and published them in the year of 1976. The preparation of the notes was inspired by the methodological referential of the Hermeneutics of Depth of John B. Thompson. In these research notes we discuss the qualitative research methodology, the historiography and the History of Mathematics Education research field; the Hermeneutics of Depth; the Paratexts by Gérard Genette; previous works that were inspired by the theoretical-methodological references of Hermeneutics of Depth and/or of Paratexts to create their research methodologies; the Manuscripts translation process; the Charles Sanders Peirce's biography; the Carolyn Eisele's biography; events of the United States History and of the United States Education in the period when Peirce lived; events that involved the production, archiving and dissemination of the Peirce's Manuscripts; and our experience with the research. / Mestre
