Notes
https://libraries.aub.edu.lb/xtf/data/aco/LeBAU_b1283080x/thumb.jpg | "Part of the Arabic Collections Online (ACO) project | contributed by American University of Beirut's Jafet Memorial Library" | 'Electronic reproduction' | 270, 8 pages, 5 sheets, unnumbered plates: illustrations, folded map, genealogical tree; 23 cm | Includes bibliographic references and indexes "The writer collected news about Beirut: its antiquity, its ruins, and its conquests. Then he goes on to talk at length about the histories of the princes of Banu Bahtr, known as the princes of the West, who ruled over a large part of western Lebanon and ruled over Beirut and its environs for a long time. Father Sheikho found the manuscript in the National Library in Paris and copied it. He says about it: “The original copy is unique in its type, no parallel is known to it in any other library, and it includes 135 sheets of 12 pieces, each page has fifteen manuscript lines in fine naskhi script. The author wrote it with his own hand and added several comments to it in the footnotes.” | This extract was taken from: | http://www.kadl.sa/item.aspx?id=osGMJJH4TtFHsdIV785arow4jCm3E5w7Bex3foevy1hgokmTcb7BVTYtPsf4ZoV | (Date of website visit: 10-17-2017) | The Japheth Library copy misses the genealogical tree at the beginning of the book | more | less
