- Abstract
- The miracle of the displacement of the al-Muqaṭṭam hill by the patriarch Afrahām ibn Zur‘a in the 10th century is still alive today. The main source for this miracle account is found in the corpus of the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria. Based on the manuscript Paris arabe 282, this article highlights an independent elaborated version of the biography of this patriarch as compared to the primitive recension and the “pseudo-Vulgate” version. From the historical point of view, the miracle seems to have been used as a guarantee for the presence of the Christians in Egypt at that time. On the other hand, the miracle story reflects the relationship between the three communities in Egypt: Christians, Jews and Muslims and aims at proving the truthfulness of the Christian Faith.
