Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Palestine Under the Moslems: A Description of Syria and the Holy Land From A. D. 650 to 1500; Translated From the Works of the Mediæval Arab Geographers It may be useful briefly to indicate the method I have adopted in carrying through my work. In dealing with the Arab writers, I have been careful to give in all cases an exact reference to the text from which the translation has been made, in order that those who might question my rendering should be able without loss of time to refer to the original. I may be allowed to point out that all the information contained in the present volume has been obtained at first hand, for though I have been careful to consult the works of other Orientalists who have translated some of the texts I quote, the translations now published I have in every case made myself from the Arabic or Persian originals. In dealing with disputed points relating to the position of the Holy Places in Jerusalem, I have briefly stated the conclusions which I thought were to be deduced from the accounts given by the Moslem writers of the foundation and history of the various edifices. Theories in respect to the position of the Holy Places, however, form but a minor portion of my work, which has been to translate in full, and, where needful, annotate, the texts I had before me. I am in hopes that others may be able to build with the bricks I have thus fashioned, and again that from other printed texts and MSS., similar to those from which my materials have been drawn, other workers will bring to light further information that will correct and enlarge what has been gathered together in these pages. Four years have now elapsed since I began my work with the translation of Mukaddasi, during an autumn and winter spent at Haifa, under Mount Carmel, in Palestine. The result of four years labour is perhaps scanty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
