Note 382 — KING MOHAMMED BIN SABAIK AND THE MERCHANT HASAN.
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. “Záwiyah” lit. a corner, a cell. Lane (M. E. chapt. xxiv.) renders it “a small kiosque,” and translates the famous Zawiyat al-Umyán (Blind Men’s Angle) near the south-eastern corner of the Azhar or great Collegiate Mosque of Cairo, “Chapel of the Blind” (chapt. ix.). In popular parlance it suggests a hermitage.
