Note 5 — APPENDIX I THE GREAT MOSQUE OF CORDOVA

The four columns are yet in place in what is now the chapel of St. Peter. Behind the mih-rab at Cordova was a room where other copies of the Koran were kept. Both the sanctuary, and the mih-rab room, now form part of St. Peter’s Chapel, which the inhabitants vulgarly call La Capilla del Zancarron—the chapel of the shin-bone—from a popular belief that the shin-bone of the Prophet was there preserved.
