Note 123 — THE CALIPH AL-HAKIM[123] AND THE MERCHANT.
Richard Francis Burton translation
This Caliph, the orthodox Abbaside of Egypt (A.D. 1261) must not be confounded with the Druze-god, the heretical Fatimite (A.D. 996–1021). D’Herbelot (“Hakem”) gives details. Mr. S. L. Poole (The Academy, April 26, ‘79) is very severe on the slip of Mr. Payne.
