       *  A version of the autobiogrphy of Ibn Khaldun here entitled, "Ta՝rîf bi-Ibn Khaldûn"  [Autobiography of Ibn Khaldūn] is included in the margin throughout this volume. Note the observation of Rosenthal:

      "Until recently, Ibn Khaldûn's autobiography was known only in a recension that broke off at the end of the year 1394,1 but now its continuation has been discovered and is available in a carefully annotated edition.2 It brings the account down to the middle of the year 1405, less than a year before Ibn Khaldûn's death.

      Fn.1 The text, which is very unsatisfactory, was reprinted in the margin of an edition of the Muqaddimah published in Cairo, 1322/1904. Showing that in the autograph manuscript of Ibn Khaldûn's Lubāb al-Muhaṣṣal, the vocalization muqaddamah is occasionally used, Fr. Luciano Rubio makes a rather strong case for reading Muqaddamah, instead of Muqaddimah. Cf. La Ciudad de Diós, CLXII (1950), 171-78. No completely vocalized occurrence of the word—which would decide the question — is known to me from the old MSS of the Muqaddimah. I feel certain that both forms are equally possible, and that the problem is a very minor one.
      Fn. 2 = The complete autobiography was edited by Muhammad Tâwît aţ-Ţanjî and published under the title at-Ta՝rîf bi-Ibn Khaldûn wa-rihlatuhû gharban wa-sharqan [Biography of Ibn Khaldûn and Report on his Travel(s) in the West and in the East] (Cairo, 1370/1951). In his footnotes aţ-Ţanjî supplies ample bibliographical references concerning the personalities Ibn Khaldûn mentions in the Autobiography.
