Note 504 — ABU AL-HASAN AND ABU JA’AFAR THE LEPER.[501]
Richard Francis Burton translation
To my surprise I read in Mr. Redhouse’s “Mesnevi” (Trübner, 1881), “Arafat, the mount where the victims are slaughtered by the pilgrims” (p. 60). This ignorance is phenomenal. Did Mr. Redhouse never read Burckhardt or Burton?
