Ibn Khaldun's early version of this and the
following page was rather heavily corrected. Down to p. 368,
1. 14, the text is not yet found in
Bulaq, A, or E, and still appears as a marginal addition in C. |
110 |
Cf.
1:119 and 168, above. |
111 |
Cf.
Bombaci, p. 452. |
112 |
Cf.
1:19, above. |
113 |
The reference to caverns and caves is found only
in C, as a marginal addition. Bulaq, A, and B have instead:
"(Building activity) is found only in the temperate zones." |
114 |
Cf.
R. Dozy in Journal asiatique, XIV
6 (1869), 163. |
115 |
"Bricks" is added in the margin of C and in the text of D. |
116 |
This is the reading of C (in the margin) and D.
The earlier texts have: "In this connection, one uses ..." |
117 |
Leg. 'alayhima instead of
'alayha "fastened to
the two boards"? |
118 |
I.e., the pieces that have been cemented together. |
119 |
Spanish tapia, Portuguese tappa. Cf. E.
Laoust in Hespiris, XVIII (1934), 113. To connect
the word with Egyptian f&b "adobe" seems plausible, but
does not appear to be certain or generally accepted. |
120 |
Cf.
p. 270, above. A, B, C, and D here
have az-zabaj, a form C corrects in the margin to
as-sabaj. |

The
work on building laws by the Tunisian Ibn ar-Rimi (d. 734
[1334]; cf. GAL, Suppl., 11, 346), the text of which was
not available to me, shows the great concern of contemporary
jurists with preventing "damage" (darar) being
done to a person's property. Cf. R. Brunschvig, La
Berbirie orientale, II, 183. |
122 |
Qandh does not refer here to the
"subterranean conduits" but to rain gutters. This meaning is
attested in Spanish usage; cf. R. Dozy,
Supplement aux dictionnaires arabes, 11, 414b. |
