Le village de «Banū Ḥasan» entre les données littéraires et les données du terrain: étude préliminaire et contribution à sa localisation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 April 2014
Abstract
Based on an analysis of the Islamic literature and a comparison with the toponyms and archaeology of the region, this article contributes to the topography of Lepcis Magna by identifying the location of the village of Banu Hassan ten kilometres to the west of Lepcis, in the territory of Silin. A survey of the site, still known as Qaryat Banū Hassan, confirms its potential as the road station mentioned by both al-Idrīsī and al-‘Abdarī, though erroneously located by al-Idrisi to the east of Lepcis.
