Description

Two typewritten copies of the drafts of Paul Kahle and Kurt Röder’s “Die Schätze der Fatimiden”. The article concerns a few passages of al-Maqrīzī’s «Ḫiṭaṭ», who, writing in the 15th century, reports that the eighth Fāṭimid Caliph al-Mustanṣir (1036-94.) possessed entire rooms full of porcelain. An important passage of al-Maqrīzī’s «Ḫiṭaṭ», entitled «Kitāb al-ḏaḫāʼir wa-l-tuḥaf» (“Buch der Schätze und Seltsamkeiten”), was translated in the second part of the article. The version used by Kahle was the following: al-Maqrīzī, «al-Ḫiṭaṭ», Cairo, Būlāq n.d., vol. 1, pp. 414-416.
