[Footnote 170: The Orientals, Elmacin, Abulpharagius, Abulfeda, pass over the conquest of Spain in silence, or with a single word. The text of Novairi and the other Arabian writers, is represented, though with some foreign alloy, by M. de Car donne (Hist. de l'Afrique et de l'Espagne sous la Domination des Arabes, Paris, 1765, 3 vols. in 12mo, tom. i. p. 55-114), and more concisely by M. de Guignes (Hist. des Huns, tom. i. p. 347-350). The librarian of the Escurial has not satisfied my hopes: yet he appears to have searched with diligence his broken materials; and the history of the conquest is illustrated by some valuable fragments of the genuine Razis (who wrote at Corduba, A.H. 300) of Ben Hazil, etc. See Biblioth. Arabico Hispana, tom. ii. p. 32, 105, 105, 182, 252, 319-332. On this occasion the industry of Pagi has been aided by the Arabic learning of his friend the Abbe de Longuerue, and to their joint labours I am deeply indebted.]
