Muhammad Salim Barakat (Arabic: محمد سليم بركات) was an Arab writer, translator and teacher of Arabic language. [1] He has trained outstanding French university teachers of Arabic and Orientalist scholars at the end of the 20th century [2] such as Jean-Yves L'hopital, [3] George Bohas, [4] Lidia Bettini, [5] Anne Regourd, [6] and Thierry Bianquis. [7] He was born in Damascus in 1930 and died in it in 1999. [8] He is not to be confused with his homonym, the Kurdish-Syrian novelist and poet Salim Barakat.

Life

Muhammad Salim Barakat came from a religious background. His father, Muhammad ibn Jaafar al-Kassar, a Shafii Muslim, served as the imam and preacher of al-Innaba mosque in Bab Sarija in old Damascus, [9] He belongs to an old Damascene family, as cited in the encyclopaedia of Damascene families 1/222, according to Al-Babiteen Dictionary of Arab Poets [10]

Barakat grew up in Damascus. [11] He moved to Cairo in Egypt and graduated from the Department of Philosophy and Oriental Languages in the College of Arabic Language in Ain Shams University, then obtained two post-graduate diplomas in pedagogy and psychology from the High Institute of Pedagogy at the same university. [12]

Work

When in Egypt, he met with Taha Hussein, Tawfiq al-Hakim and Abbas Mahmoud al-Akkad, and was influenced by their literature, and also by Nasserism. [13] He returned to Damascus and worked as a teacher of Arabic language. [14] He was a member of research and studies association. [15] He worked in the French Institute for Arabic Studies in Damascus [16] (IFEAD: Institut Francais d’Etudes Arabes de Damas, later known as IFPO: Institut Français du Proche Orient) from 1970 to 1999.[ citation needed] He was sent as a professor of Arabic literature and Orientalism to the INALCO (Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales) in Paris, which is a Sorbonne institution, from 1991 to 1994.[ citation needed]

His most notable contribution include:

  • His translation of "Le voile du nom : essai sur le nom propre arabe", by Jacqueline Sublet, from French into Arabic, which was published by the IFPO. [17] [18]
  • His article, "Les inscriptions de la maison Sibai", in collaboration with French scholar Jean-Yves L'Hopital, and Nabil Al-Lao was published by the Bulletin d'Etudes Orientales in 2001. [19] [20]
  • He was a member of the Arab Writer's Union, [21] headquartered in Damascus [22]

Posterity

Upon his death in 1999, a hall was named after him in the INALCO, and another in the IFPO in Damascus. He was also mourned by the French newspaper Le Monde in its issue of 9 June 1999. [23] Dominique Mallet also, a French scholar, wrote from Cairo an obituary "In memoriam of Salim Mohammed Barakat". [24]

He was married to Farideh Al-Fawakhiri (1941–2011), and a father of Nouar (F 1968), Maha (F 1969), Mouhammad (M 1970), Charif (M 1972), Ahmad (M 1976), and Reem (F 1985). A street has been allocated to carry his name in central Damascus in Al-Mouhajireen quarter (his own quarter), but is still pending because of the civil war that has erupted in March 2011.[ citation needed]
