CHAPTER L: Description Of Arabia And Its Inhabitants
7/42

Arabum, p.

125-128) from the Geography of the Sherif al Edrissi, render us still more dissatisfied with the version or abridgment (p.

24-27, 44-56, 108, &c., 119, &c.) which the Maronites have published under the absurd title of Geographia Nubiensis, (Paris, 1619;) but the Latin and French translators, Greaves (in Hudson, tom.
iii.) and Galland, (Voyage de la Palestine par La Roque, p.

265-346,) have opened to us the Arabia of Abulfeda, the most copious and correct account of the peninsula, which may be enriched, however, from the Bibliotheque Orientale of D'Herbelot, p.

120, et alibi passim.
