[Footnote 12: Besides the list of authors framed by
Prideaux, (Life of Mahomet, p. 179 - 189,) Ockley, (at the
end of his second volume,) and Petit de la Croix, (Hist. de
Gengiscan, p. 525 - 550,) we find in the Bibliotheque
Orientale Tarikh, a catalogue of two or three hundred
histories or chronicles of the East, of which not more than
three or four are older than Tabari. A lively sketch of
Oriental literature is given by Reiske, (in his Prodidagmata
ad Hagji Chalifae librum memorialem ad calcem Abulfedae
Tabulae Syriae, Lipsiae, 1776;) but his project and the
French version of Petit de la Croix (Hist. de Timur Bec,
tom. i. preface, p. xlv.) have fallen to the ground.]
