  • VII. Further Arabic Inscriptions on Textiles

    Open AccessA R GuestARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1918

    In the Journal for 1906 there were published some Arabic inscriptions on textiles in the South Kensington Museum. Two more Arabic inscriptionś on textiles may now be brought to notice. One of them is taken from a Russian publication; the other is from a piece of stuff in the Museum. Mr. A. F. Kendrick, of the Museum, has drawn attention to these specimens, and, as before, has kindly supplied the descriptions of the stuffs. The objects are:— 1. Fr…

  • XI. The Delta in the Middle Ages

    Open AccessA R GuestARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1913

    The short tenth century account of the Nile in the Delta, which is published here for the first time, is an extract from a unique Arabic MS. on geography preserved at the British Museum (23379 Add.)

  • XXV. The Delta in the Middle Ages

    Open AccessA R GuestARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1912Cited by: 1

    Many changes have taken place in the delta since the middle ages, and the former geographical conditions require to be understood in order that the mediaeval history of Egypt may be followed. Besides, the mediaeval geography is of obvious importance as a means of arriving at the state of Egypt in ancient times. An adequate historical map of the mediaeval period is much wanted, and this paper is intended as a contribution towards a map of this kin…

  • IV. The Foundation of Fustat and the Khittahs of that Town

    Open AccessA R GuestARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1907

    The establishment of the town of Fusṭâṭ as a new capital of Egypt is an important event in the Arab conquest, inaugurating as it does the permanent occupation of the country by the Arabs. One has to look to Arab authorities alone for details. In the works that are generally available at the present time by having been printed, the particulars are but few. The direct references in these books to the foundation of the town, containing information b…

  • XVI. Notice of some Arabic Inscriptions on Textiles at the South Kensington Museum

    Open AccessA R GuestARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1906

    That the collection of textile fabrics at the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington, is not generally so well known as it deserves to be, is doubtless due largely to the unfavourable conditions under which, owing to want of space, it has now to be exhibited. It is satisfactory to think that this will before long be remedied, for the collection is a remarkably good one. Taken all round, it is probably not surpassed by any other of the kind

  • ART. XXX.— Miṣr in the Fifteenth Century

    Open AccessA R Guest, E T RichmondARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1903Cited by: 1References: 1

    In speaking of Miṣr, it is in the first place necessary to define exactly what it is meant to include, as the name has been used at different periods with different meanings. Miṣr here denotes the southern half of the Arab capital of Egypt, as opposed to the northern one. For its application to this part of Cairo we have the authority of El Maqrîzî, but it must be borne in mind that this author does not always adhere to his own definition, and fr…

  • Art. VI.—A List of Writers, Books, and other Authorities mentioned by El Maqrīzi in his Kh iṭaṭ

    Open AccessA R GuestARTICLEJournal of the Royal Asiatic…1902

    This list is not exhaustive; it is thought, however, that it will be found to contain the names of the principal authorities cited by El Maqrīzi in this book, and, in the absence of an index to the only printed edition at present available, it is hoped that it may be of service to students of Egyptian history
