Note 101 — EL IDRISI COMPARED WITH EL BEKRI.

Rec. de Voy. V. pp. 10, 13, 18. In the first of the passages here cited, Maghráwah is represented as extending from Aúlíl to the Great River, and including also those countries which the author, by misconstruction of El Bekrí’s statements, brought into the vicinity of that part of the river. It is to be lamented that the Translation of El Idrísí’s Geography, published in the Rec. de Voy. swarms with false readings, against which little care has been taken to guard the reader.
