Bulaq adds: "and the harder." |

The
correct text in Bulaq, C, and D. |
1394 |
Cf.
1:9, above. |
1395 |
Ibn
Khaldun read: "that you were to come with the oil." But,
utilizing a slight correction suggested in Bulaq, we might
perhaps read: annak nakun ma'a lladhin na'ti. This would
make much better sense and be quite in keeping with the barbaric
distortion of Arabic that the author invented for the
entertainment of his readers. |
1396 |
Again, Bulaq may be justified in correcting at-tibn to
ash-shayn, which would mean "those dogs of nastiness," or
something of the sort. |
1397 |
Cf.
1:10 and 316, above. |
1398 |
Cf.
1:8 f., above. |

Cf.
1:32, above. |

Ahmad b. Muhammad, Ibn Darraj, from Qastallat Darraj (Cacella in
Portugal), who died ca. 1030. Cf. GAL, Suppl., 1,
478; E. Levi-Provencal, La Peninsule Iberique (Leiden,
1938), p. 192; Ibn Bassam, Dhakhfrah (Cairo, 1358/1939),

Salih b. Yazid,
601-684 [1204,-1285/861. Cf. Ibn al-Khalib, al-Ihatah,
as quoted by M. Casiri, Bibliotheca Arabico-Hispana Escurialensis
(Madrid, 1760-70), II, 97. |

Malik b. 'Abd-ar-Rahman, 604-699
[12o7/8-1299/1300]. Cf. GAL, I, 274; Suppl., 1, 484; 2d
ed., 1, 323 f. |
1403 |
Bulaq, A, and B have
wa-kuttab instead of wa-kanat, which we find in C (by
correction?) and D. Actually, Ibn Khaldun's earlier text may have been
the more correct one. It would mean: "who were pupils of the Sevillian
community in Ceuta and who had been secretaries [pl. used instead of the
dual] at the beginning of the dynasty of Ibn al-Ahmar." It depends on
whether this statement is factually correct, something I am not prepared
definitely to assert. "Community," lit. "class," means, specifically,
the community of poets and litterateurs. |

Muhammad b. Ahmad, 674-747 [1276-1346]. Cf.
Ibn al-Khatib, alIhatah, II, 174 fi:; Ibn Hajar, ad-Durar al-kaminah,
III, 349 f. The form Shibrin is thus indicated in C. The sources
quoted print Shirin. The edition by an-Nubihi, Kitab al-Margabah al-'ulya
(Cairo, 1948), p. 153, vocalizes Shabrin. |
1405 |
He would seem to be Muhammad b. Ahmad b.
'Ali, 698-780 [1298/99-1378]. Cf. GAL, II, 13 f.; Suppl.,
II, 6, although he is younger than the men with whom he is mentioned. |
1406 |
Ali
b. Muhammad, 673-749 [1274-1349]. Cf. GAL, Suppl., II, 369. |
1407 |
Ibrahim b. Muhammad, d. 747
[13461. Cf. Ibn Hajar, ad-Durar alkaminah,
I,
54, who has the wrong date 739 [1338/391;
al-Maqqari, Analectes,
ed. R. Dozy et al.
(Leiden, 1855-61), 1,
589 f., 91o f.; as-Suyuti,
Bughyah (Cairo, 1326/1908), p. 189. |

Cf. p. 304 (n. 1186), above. |

Bulaq
corrects "the biography of their Prophet" to "their ways of life," in
order to be closer to the actual situation. |
1412 |
The older texts have
ma'anihim lahum (Bulaq
maghanihim lahu), which seems to
mean "and all their other interests." |
1413 |
Cf.
p. 341, above, and p. 383, below. |
1414 |
Cf, pp. 396 f., below. |
1415 |
The
text from here to "urban and" (l. 21) is found in C in the
margin and in the text of D. We have here an interesting
example, not of homoeoteleuton omission (in the older texts), but of a
homoeoteleuton addition by the author at a later stage. |
