^{page 581 note 1} See the bibliography supra. In the later of the two articles the az¯nat Ta'izz is reported to have many MSS., and a copy of al-anadā's history is reported at Ibb. Dr. Hamidullah will, however, doubtless enlighten us on these matters in due course.

^{page 582 note 1} Rābita, ii, viii, pp. 321–8, notes a work al-Mi'atān al-IIikāya fī Manūkib al-'Aidar¯s, by “the author of the awhar” presumably ‘Abd al-Rahmān al-atīb.

^{page 583 note 1} This is evidently shortened from al-āfī to make a rhyming title; I have seen a title al-Wāf for al-Wāfi in Tar. Sh. Had.

^{page 584 note 1} The author is ‘Alī b. Hasan b. ‘Abdullāh b. Husain b. ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Rahmān al-'Attās (ob. 1172/1758–9), the saint of Mahad, and the author of K. al-Riyād al-Mu'nika fi ‘l-Alfāz al-Mutafarraka, a copy of which is in the Mosque Library at Huraida. I have transcribed the main portions relating to Hadramī medical lore and beliefs, but it also contains information on a variety of other subjects. For Saiyid ‘Alī cf. Rihlat, pp. 121 ff. Tar. Sh. Had., ii, pp. 58.

^{page 592 note 1} A nice problem was set the administration in Hadramawt recently as a result of the appreciation of the Maria Theresa dollar (always a fluctuating monetary unit), in terms of rupees, from 1 rupee in 1940 to 2 rupees 4–8 annas in 1947. Much land and property had been pledged during the famine years of the war, the loans being made in riyāls, then the customary tender. When the rupee backed by the British Government replaced the riyāl in most of the territory, the question arose as to what rate of exchange should be adopted when property was being redeemed. This problem was ultimately solved by making the exchange-rate current at the time of pledging the land the basis for repayment.

^{page 592 note 2} It will be remarked that Hadramawt, i.e. the Wādā, is distinguished from ihr. the coastal area.

^{page 596 note 1} Rossi, E., L’ Arabo Parlato a San'á' (Roma, 1939), p. 102Google Scholar, describes Humainī as “denominazione generale della poesia che sta tra il letterario (bikamī [in Hdr., hakamī.
