Show answer Hide answer
Answer: C. 1382
Explanation
Ibn-e-Khaldun completed his universal history work 'Kitabu’l-Ibar' around the year 1382. This massive historical project synthesized centuries of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern political history. The famous Muqaddimah was originally written as the revolutionary introduction to this universal history. Kitabu’l-Ibar translates to the Book of Evidence and Record of Beginnings and Events in Arab and Berber history. Writing a universal history required exhaustive archival research and firsthand travel across North Africa. The completion of this work established his reputation as the world's first true sociological historian.
Comprehensive historical writing preserves cultural memory and analyzes the long-term patterns of human rise and fall. Modern historians rely on medieval chronicles to cross-reference political events and demographic shifts. Publishing major scholarly works cements an author's enduring legacy across subsequent generations. 1300 represents an earlier decade before he embarked on his mature historiographical writing projects. 1388 falls later in his prolific literary career after the initial completion of his major history. 1400 marks the beginning of the next century, long after the primary compilation of his work.
