AJudge from Qanṭūriya in Spain, Khālid b. ‘Īsā al-Balawī, spent the years 1336–40 on pilgrimage, passing through Africa and Jerusalem. He was interested in inscriptions and copied several in Jerusalem; those which can be checked, Ma'mūn's in the Dome of the Rock and Saladin's in al-Aqṣā, are accurate, so we may assume that others are also. The record is contained in B.M. Or. 9252 and Paris (B.N.) 2286. It is a pleasant duty to thank the Bibliothèque Nationale for answering a question about the Paris MS and so supplying a word missing from the Museum copy.
