Ibar,
II, 88, has "three hundred." |

Bulaq: "since Moses left no offspring." Cf. also p. 412, above. |

The
subject of the active verb is Saul, though Ibn Khaldun was aware
that Saul did not kill Goliath personally, but "had him killed."
Cf. 'Ibar,
II, 95. |
414 |
As
indicated in this and the following two notes, Ibn Khaldun
originally had some rather incorrect geographical information in
his earlier text, which he corrected later. In C the corrections
are applied in the text or in the margin. In D they appear
incorporated in the text. Originally the text here had "the
Jazirah and Mosul."The Arabic form of Samaria, Sebaste, is
vocalized Subustiyah
in C. |
415 |
The
earlier text added: "and Syria." |
416 |
"In
Samaria" is an addition of C and D. |

For
this legend concerning the origin of the Jewish settlement in
I1fahin, cf. W. J. Fischel in The
Joshua Starr Memorial Volume, pp.
112 f. |
418 |
Bulaq has "the blind and the lepers," which looks very much like
a correction by the editor of Bulaq, because Qur'an 3.49 (43)
and 5.110 (110) mentions the blind and the lepers, whereas no
mention is made in it of the insane. |
419 |
This
refers to the docetist idea of Jesus' death, as expressed in
Qur'an 4.157 (156). |
420 |
For
the following discussion of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures,
cf. 'Ibar, II, 148. |
421 |
Originally, Ibn Khaldun had said "all." He corrected "all" to
"most" in C, and "most" is found in the text of D. |
422 |
The
MSS have Yahudha
"Judah," but there can be no doubt that the Book
of Judith is meant. |
423 |
The
MSS do not agree about the name of Chronicles. It seems that the
original text in C was b-r-y-w-m y-n,
while A has -r-y-'-m-w-my-n. This is
easily explained as a corruption of
b-r-< 1y>-b-w-m y-n Paraleipomena. |
424 |
The reference to the alleged authorship of the
Books of the Maccabees by Joseph b. Gorion (Pseudo-Josippon), is
not found in 'Ibar, II, 148, and,
incidentally, appears in C only in the margin. It should be
noted that the Arabic text of the
History of the Jews by Pseudo-Josippon
is occasionally called "Book of the Maccabees." Cf. the edition
of the Ethiopic version by Murad Kamil,
Zind Ayhud (New York,
1937), pp. xvi ff., and J. Wellhausen, "Der arabische Josippus"
in Abhandlungen der Kgl. Gesellschaft
der Wissenschaften zu Gottingen,
philol.-his. KI., N.F., 14 (1897), S. Cf. now W. J. Fischel, "Ibn
Khaldun and Josippon," in Homenaje a
Millbs-Vallicrosa (Barcelona, 1954),
I, 596. |
425 |
The
MSS read Ushir.
This may represent a misreading
Osther for Esther. |
426 |
Cf.
also 2:261, below. |
427 |
Bulaq adds: "together with other patriarchs and bishops." This
may have been the old text, and Ibn Khaldun later took the words
out, because he remembered that patriarchs and bishops did not
yet exist at that time. |
428 |
Wahidun, as in the MSS. |

Al-Makin, ca. 1205-1273. Cf.
GAL, I, 348;
Suppl.,
I, 590. G. Graf, Geschichte der
christlichen arabischen Literatur (Studi e Testi No. 139) (Citta
del Vatican, 1947), II, 848 N. Although the second part of al-Makin's
History (which contains the Muslim period) has been known
since the seventeenth century, the first part of the work, where
the above quotation may be expected to occur, has not yet been
published. |

Lit., "those who have entered the covenant ('ahd)." This word is
used as a technical term for Christians (and Jews) who have
accepted the restrictions placed upon them by the so-called
"covenant of 'Umar." |
431 |
The
reference is to the d/t.
The Arabic text here is not quite clear. Perhaps
we should translate: "with the (foreign) letter (pronounced
somehow) in the middle between dh and
x." Cf. also as-Silafi,
Mujam, MS
(photograph), Cairo, ta'rikh 3932, p. 379,
who refers to the name Zunuh, also spelled Zunuh
or Dhunuh, and explains it as meaning "master in "Roman." |
