Product Description
1840. The text is purported to Being the Annals of that Province from the Year of 290 of the Heg'ra to the Year 300 Extracted from an Ancient MS. Ascribed to El Mas'Udi, belonging to the Ducal Library of Saxe-Gotha. This period is remarkable for the subversion of the dominion of the Aglabites and of the independent principalities of Tahort and Seg'ilmasa, and for the establishment of the Fatemite dynasty on their ruins, an important and obscure era in Muhammedan history, and comprises almost the whole of those events by which the first establishment of the Fatemites was publicly marked, as it begins with nearly the earliest military operations of Abu Abdallah, and closes with the foundation of el Mahdia.
