Note 483 — THE BLACKSMITH WHO COULD HANDLE FIRE WITHOUT HURT.
Richard Francis Burton translation
Arab. “Kánún”; the usual term is Mankal (pron. Mangal) a pan of copper or brass. Some of these “chafing-dishes” stand four feet high and are works of art. Lane (M. E. chapt. iv) gives an illustration of the simpler kind, together with the “Azikí,” a smaller pan for heating coffee. See Night dxxxviii.
