The extreme interest of these old romantic ballads and songs of the ante-Islamic
and early Islamic days, and the excellence of the edition, have led to the exhaustion of

Four of the volumes were written in the sixteenth century, the name of the tran-
scriber appearing once as Yakūt bin 'Abdallah, but without a date. Several notes
show that the codex which he transcribed was a very ancient one. The other two
volumes as well as some leaves at the beginning of Vol. I were supplied in a more
modern hand (about 1780), but in style and writing nearly uniform with the older
volumes, so as to make the MS. a complete, handsome and valuable one.

100 AN ARABIC-ENGLISH VOCABULARY of the Colloquial Arabic of Egypt.
By SOCRATES SPIRO, royal 8vo. sd.
Cairo, 1895
"This is a very valuable work, indispensable to residents and others in Egypt who
wish really to learn the language of the country.

"Mr. Spiro modestly calls the book a vocabulary'; but it may well claim the
title of a dictionary, as it contains most of the words which the speaker of Egyptian
Arabic is likely to hear.

"What makes the book so peculiarly valuable are the numerous idioms and slang phrases included in it which will be looked for in vain elsewhere. They are, nevertheless, of the very essence of the colloquial language, and in dealing with the fellahin, an ignorance of them is a constant source of misunderstanding.

The usefulness of the book is further increased by the lists of weights and measures, civil and military grades, &c., which are prefixed to it.”—A. H. SAYCE. The Academy, October 24th, 1896.
