[Footnote 210: Mozarabes, or Mostarabes, adscititii, as it
is interpreted in Latin, (Pocock, Specimen Hist. Arabum, p.
39, 40. Bibliot. Arabico- Hispana, tom. ii. p. 18.) The
Mozarabic liturgy, the ancient ritual of the church of
Toledo, has been attacked by the popes, and exposed to the
doubtful trials of the sword and of fire, (Marian. Hist.
Hispan. tom. i. l. ix. c. 18, p. 378.) It was, or rather it
is, in the Latin tongue; yet in the xith century it was
found necessary (A. Ae. C. 1687, A.D. 1039) to transcribe an
Arabic version of the canons of the councils of Spain,
(Bibliot. Arab. Hisp. tom. i. p. 547,) for the use of the
bishops and clergy in the Moorish kingdoms.]
