Timeline
Claude Cahen (26 February 1909 – 18 November 1991) was a 20th-century French Marxist orientalist and historian.
He specialized in the studies of the Islamic Middle Ages, Muslim sources about the Crusades, and social history of the medieval Islamic society (works on Futuwa orders).
Claude Cahen was born in Paris to a French Jewish family.
Cahen was a member of the French Communist Party from the 1930s until 1960, and remained an active Marxist afterwards.
Despite his origins, he neither self-identified as Jewish nor supported the State of Israel.
After studying at the École Normale Supérieure on the rue d'Ulm, he attended the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, receiving a doctorate in 1940.
He was a professor at the University of Strasbourg from 1945 to 1959 and then at the Sorbonne; in 1967 he was invited to teach at the University of Michigan, and in 1973, he was elected to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
In 1954 he published "An Introduction to the First Crusade" in the Oxford journal Past and Present.
Cahen has been called "the doyen of Islamic social history and one of the most influential Islamic historians of [his] century," and "the best historian of the Middle East in the twentieth century."
Mark Cohen describes him as a distinguished Islamic historian.
He was a prisoner of war in World War II.
He was later elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1983.
Cahen was married and had six children, including the historian Michel Cahen, who wrote a biography of his father.
The Festschrift Itineraires d'Orient: Hommages a Claude Cahen, edited by Raoul Curiel and Rika Gyselen, appeared in 1995 as an honor to his "distinguished career", and an issue of the journal Arabica (43/1 (1996)) was dedicated to him.
That issue also includes a nearly complete bibliography of his works.
« Claude Cahen : histoire et engagement politique.
Entretien avec Maxime Rodinson » (propos recueillis par D. Gazagnadou et F. Micheau, bibliographie exhaustive des ouvrages, articles et comptes-rendus de Claude Cahen), Arabica (Brill éditeur), vol. 43, n°1 (1996), (p. 7–27).
