[Footnote 158: For the domestic life of Mahomet, consult
Gagnier, and the corresponding chapters of Abulfeda; for his
diet, (tom. iii. p. 285 - 288;) his children, (p. 189, 289;)
his wives, (p. 290 - 303;) his marriage with Zeineb, (tom.
ii. p. 152 - 160;) his amour with Mary, (p. 303 - 309;) the
false accusation of Ayesha, (p. 186 - 199.) The most
original evidence of the three last transactions is
contained in the xxivth, xxxiiid, and lxvith chapters of the
Koran, with Sale's Commentary. Prideaux (Life of Mahomet,
p. 80 - 90) and Maracci (Prodrom. Alcoran, part iv. p. 49 -
59) have maliciously exaggerated the frailties of Mahomet.]
