| Summary: | Levy-Rubin came across the document while researching her dissertation on Jerusalem during the early Muslim period, and decided later to translate it. Whether or not it really is a continuation of Abu l- Fath's (fl. 1355 AD) Samaritan chronicle, it is a colorful and detailed portrait of Palestine and its environs up the reign of al-Radi (d. 322/934). A photographic reproduction of the single surviving manuscript follows the highly annotated translation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
