A.H. 772), who finished the first copy on 21st Shawwâl, 769, after he had begun his work already a little before A.H. 750. Cf. Ḥ. Kh. iv. 143.</p> <p>A circumstantial account of the work is given in the author’s preface, which begins:الحمدلله مميت الاحياء و محيى الاموات . It was after composing his المهمّات فى شرح الرافعى و الروضة , <em>i.e</em>. a commentary on the two standard works on the Shâf’ite Law , that he undertook his present task. He collected his materials from numerous kindred works, and especially from the<em> </em><em>Ṭaba</em><em>ḳât</em> of Ibn al- Ṣalâḥ (d. A.H. 643) and Tiflîsî (‘Omar b. Bundâr, d. A.H. 672). The latter he incorporated wholly in his own work. Although he also terms it <em>Ṭaba</em><em>ḳât</em>, it is not arranged chronologically (or rather according to the generations, على الاعصار ), but alphabetically, each man being placed under the initial of the name by which he is commonly known – (fol.3) .على حروف المعجم معتبرا اول حرف من اللفظ الذى يحصل عنده التعريف و الشهرة اسما كان او كنية او لقبا او نسبة او صفة .</p> <p>Each chapter (or letter) is divided into two sections as stated by Ḥ. Kh., and the single articles of each section follow in chronological order, according to the dates of death. The last chapter (ى) concludes with a succession of Yamanîs, who are mentioned in this place, according to the initial of their native country, although their common names are different.</p> <p>The last of them is Yâmi’i.</p> <p>The whole is preceded by special notices of Shâfi’î and his immediate followers and disciples ( اصحابه المعاصرون الآخذون منه).</p> <p>This MS. begins:اخبرنا غير واحد مشافهة و مكاتبة عن العلامة جمال الدين الخ . it was completed at Makkah, on Thursday, 5th Jum.

The first is introductory, فى ذكر انساب الملوك بنى الرسول و كيف كان السبب فى دخولهم اليمن و استقلالهم فيها , and treats of the ancient kings of al-Yaman , and of the Ghassânides of Syria, from whom the founder of the Rasûlî dynasty traced his descent. Each of the following chapters comprises the reign (دولة) of one of the Rasûlî kings ; viz., II. (fol. 24) al-Mansûr; III. (fol.48) al-Muẓaffar; IV. (fol.155) al-Ashraf I. ( الدولة الاشرفية الصغرى , in opposition to the longer reign of the second al-Ashraf); V. (fol. 161) al-Mu’aiyad; VI. (fol.226) al-Mujâhid; VII. (fol.282) al-Afḍal; VIII. (fol. 298) al-Ashraf II. (الدولة الاشرفية الكبرى ) . The account of the last reign, with which the author was contemporary, is said to be only partial</p> <p>(فى .. بعض ايامه ) . He, however, relates the death of al-Ashraf, which happened on 19th Rabî’I., 803, and concludes with an elegy on that prince.</p> <p>An elegant and accurate copy, with vowel-points.</p> <p>Headings in larger characters, and often in red.

Bibl. Sprenger</a>. 2, and Cat. Mus. Brit. 182 (cf. Add. et Corr. 772). As is already stated there, the original work was written near the end of the reign of the Khalif al-Mu’taḍid billah (d. A.H. 289); and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloys_Sprenger">Sprenger</a>’s assertion, that we have here an abstract of the كتاب البلدان of <a href="http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n80050710/">IBN AL-FAḲÎH HAMADÂNÎ</a> (Abu Bakr Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Isḥâḳ, who flourished at the end of the third century), is especially confirmed by a comparison of the passages quoted from that author in <a href="http://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n84172872/">Yâḳût</a>’s Dictionary [معجم البلدان]. Cf. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_W%C3%BCstenfeld">Wüstenfeld</a>’s edition, i. ٧, and the index, vi. 300; and also Sprenger’s <a href="https://www.worldcat.org/title/post-und-reiserouten-des-orients/oclc/819133497">Post-und Reiserouten des Orients</a>, p. <a href="https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb10248643?page=19">xvii</a>.</p> <p>Sprenger is, however, wrong, in ascribing this abstract to one <em>Shazrî</em> or <em>Sharzî</em> ; he read الشَزْرى or الشَرْزى by mistake, instead of الشَيْزَرى , <sup>2</sup> and ‘Alî b. Ja’far b. Aḥmad Shaizarî (from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaizar">Shaizar</a> in Syria) was merely the scribe, who in A.H. 431, wrote (كتب) the copy, from which the Cod. Sprenger. was taken. This appears from the colophon of the latter, which is given by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Chwolson">Chwolson</a> in a letter published in the <a href="https://menadoc.bibliothek.uni-halle.de/dmg/periodical/structure/2327">Zeitschrift der Deutschen morgenl. Gesellschaft</a>, <a href="https://menadoc.bibliothek.uni-halle.de/dmg/periodical/titleinfo/18141">xxii</a>. [1868] 241 [<strong>ed note</strong>: <em>sic</em>, the page number is <a href="https://menadoc.bibliothek.uni-halle.de/dmg/periodical/pageview/18538">335</a>]. The present copy, too, must have been derived from the MS. of Shaizarî, whose name, also spelt <em>Shazrî</em>, is inscribed on it as the author of the book (see above). No mention is made of him in the British Museum MS. There is no positive proof that this abridgment was made by the author himself, but it is very probable.</p> <p>It begins with some general aphorisms, as follows:</p> <p>قال قال الفضل بن يحيى الناسُ اربع طبقات الخ</p> <p>These are followed by some remarks of the author concerning his present task, which are to be found in Cat. Mus. Brit. 182 (فهذا كتابى الخ) . Sprenger and others have already observed that Ibn al-Faḳîh was more of a literary character, than an exact geographer. The plan of his work is, at least as far as the present abridgment goes, neither systematic nor in any way complete. It is, however, rich in details. After a few introductory chapters, on the formation of the earth (fol. 2), and on the seas (fol. 3), and a comparison between the Chinese and Indian nations, there comes a description of the Arabian peninsula (foll. 5<em>v</em>.12).</p> <p>Next follow two literary digressions, viz. (fol. 12) بابٌ فى تصريف الجد الى الهزل و الهزل الى الجد , and (fol. 14) فى مدح الغربة و الاغراب . After these, the author describes (fol.17) Egypt; (fol.24) al-Maghrib; (fol.25) the Berber country اعراض البربر ; (fol. 28) Syria and Palestine ; (fol. 36, a special chapter on the rivalry between the people of Damascus and al-Baṣrah افتخار الشاميين على البصريين ;) (fol. 39<em>v</em>.) Mesopotamia; (fol. 42) the Roman empire, with a digression (fol. 47) فی مدح البناء and (fol.49) فى ذم البناء ; (fol. 50<em>v</em>.) al-‘Irâḳ , and especially (fol.51) al-Kûfah, and (fol.59) al-Baṣrah ; (fol. 52, a special chapter, افتخار الكوفيين على البصريين ). Baghdâd is not even mentioned.</p> <p>On fol. 61<em>v</em>. begins the second part, preceded by a <em>Basmalah</em>, a list of contents, and a special introduction, commencing:</p> <p>و قد كنا قدمنا العُذر فى اول الكتاب الخ</p> <p>This part comprises the different provinces of Iran, with the adjacent countries, as follows: (fol. 63) Fârs; (fol.66) Karmân, etc.; (fol. 67) Media الجبل , and especially Ḳarmâsîn. On foll. 70-85 the author gives a long and poetical account of his native place, Hamadân, and of its environs, with several digressions, one of which is (foll. 77) فى حبّ الاوطان . Then follow (fol. 85) Nahâwand; (fol. 85<em>v</em>.) Iṣbahân ; (fol. 88) al-Raiy and the Dunbâwand ; (fol. 92) Ḳazwîn, Abhar, and Zanjân; (fol. 92<em>v</em>.) Adharbaijân ; (fol. 93<em>v</em>.) Armenia and the Caucasus ; (fol. 99<em>v</em>.) Ṭabaristân ; (fol. 104) Khurâsân and the Turks.</p> <p>Conclusion (fol. 109):</p> <p>تم الاختصار و الحمد لله رب العالمين و صلواته على نبيه محمد و آله اجمعين</p> <p>Written in a bold hand, with only occasional vowel-points, and decidedly inferior to the British Museum copy. Dated A.H. 725 [=1324-25 CE]. The colophon runs as follows:</p> <p>كتبه حسين <sup>1</sup> بن عبدالرحيم بن عبدالغنى فى العشر الاوسط من شهر جمادى الاوالى سنة خمس و عشرين و سبع مائة</p> <p>Corrections by the original hand.
