Abd al-Rahman al-Jabarti

Burhan al-Din 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan al-Jabarti (1754-1822), an Egyptian historian, lived through the French campaign in Egypt and documented it extensively in his book "Ajayib al-Athar fi al-Tarajim wa al-Akhbar" (known as "Jabarti's History"), which is a key reference for that significant period in Egyptian history.
