Note 244 — PART II THE DIVINE COMEDY COMPARED WITH OTHER MOSLEM LEGENDS ON THE AFTER-LIFE

Harold Sunderland translation

Qazwini, I, 373, gives a hadith, telling of the dealings of Solomon with genii and demons, that is of interest for the study of the demonology of Islam, which shows marked resemblance to that of Dante, particularly in the matter of the names. On this point cf. Damiri, I, 237; Khazin, Tafsir, III, 201; and Dharir, 188.
