tom. ii. p. 773, 775. This learned professor was equal to
the task of describing the Holy Land, since he was alike
conversant with Greek and Latin, with Hebrew and Arabian

Cellarius (Geograph. Antiq. tom. ii. p. 392) and D'Anville,
(Geographie Ancienne, tom. ii. p. 185.) The Arabs, and even
Abulfeda himself, do not seem to recognize the scene of
