%X Achev¨¦e en 2005 par Muhammad Jazim (CEFAS), l¡¯¨¦dition de N r al-ma¡®arif a marqu¨¦ un tournant majeur dans notre connaissance de l¡¯histoire du Y¨¦men, plus particuli¨¨rement ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦poque des sultans ras lides (626-858/1229-1454). Cet ¨¦pais volume de 224 folios, recelant de nombreuses donn¨¦es in¨¦dites, se laisse n¨¦anmoins difficilement analyser en raison de l¡¯extr¨ºme diversit¨¦ des textes qui le composent, tous issus du d wan (administration) ras lide, et ¨¤ cause de l¡¯absence de tout classement coh¨¦rent de part en part qu¡¯il soit chronologique ou th¨¦matique. En s¡¯appuyant sur une d¨¦marche typologique, la pr¨¦sente contribution tente de comprendre les raisons et la logique qui ont pr¨¦sid¨¦ ¨¤ la r¨¦union de ces documents aussi divers en un m¨ºme volume. Si la mise par ¨¦crit des donn¨¦es primaires s¡¯av¨¨re parfois fort ancienne, remontant jusqu¡¯au xiie si¨¨cle dans le cas de certains tarifs douaniers, N r al-ma¡®arif ne fut constitu¨¦ comme un v¨¦ritable volume d¡¯archives qu¡¯¨¤ l¡¯extr¨ºme fin du xiiie si¨¨cle sous le r¨¨gne du sultan al-Ashraf ¡®Umar. Un tableau d¨¦taill¨¦ de la composition du recueil est donn¨¦ en annexe. Description and Analysis of the Archives in the Rasulid Sultanate. The Case of N r al-Ma¡®arifFinalized in 2005 by Muhammed Jazim (CEFAS), the publication of N r al-Ma¡®arif has marked a milestone in our knowledge of Yemen¡¯s history, and specially at the time of the rasulid Sultans (626-858 / 1229-1454). This thick book includes of 224 folios containing a lot of unpublished informations, is however difficult to analyze because of the wide diversity of the texts which it is composed of, all coming from the rasulid diwan (administration), and because of the absence of logical organization, either chronological or thematic. Relying on a typological approach, this article tries to understand the reasons and the logic which prevailed while gathering this various documents within one manuscript. Obviously, the primary datas were written down since an older time, probably since the 12th century for some custom tarifs. N r al-Ma¡®arif was gathered as a real archives books only at the end of the 13th century, under the reign of Sultan al-Ashraf ¡®Umar. A detailed chart of the composition figures as an Annex.
