[Footnote 48: We are indebted to the professor Schultens
(Lugd. Bat, 1755, in folio) for the richest and most
authentic materials, a life of Saladin by his friend and
minister the Cadhi Bohadin, and copious extracts from the
history of his kinsman the prince Abulfeda of Hamah. To
these we may add, the article of Salaheddin in the
Bibliotheque Orientale, and all that may be gleaned from the
Dynasties of Abulpharagius.]
