TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE
Obsolete, archaic, unusual and inconsistent spellings have been left in the text as in the original book. Obvious typos have been fixed, as detailed below. In the body of the book, corrected text has a dotted underline. Hover the cursor over the underlined text to see the correction. The cover was produced by the transcriber and is hereby placed in the public domain.
Arabic words and names appear transliterated throughout the text. `Ayn is represented by `, and hamzah is represented by ´. The same word or name will appear throughout the text with and without diacriticals over the vowels, and both with and without indications of `ayn and hamzah.
My research indicates that the book Bibl. Orient. by Asseman, cited in the text, is referring to Bibliotheca orientalis Clementino-vaticana... by Giuseppe Simone Assemani (modern spelling of name).
In the following, the correction is shown in square brackets:
