Tulun was the builder of the superb mosque bearing his name and now standing in ruins near the citadel of Cairo. About the year 1000 A. D. The wild fanatic and persecutor, called Al Hakim bi'amr Illahi, is said 2 to have 'built a wall round the church of Al Mu'allakah' what- ever that means. Perhaps the precincts within the Roman wall were enclosed, and the church turned into a mosque, like Anba Shanudah. It is quite certain that the same khalif sanctioned an indiscri- minate persecution of the... Christians and plunder of their churches. ' All the gold and silver vessels in them were plundered, their endowments were for- feited ; and those endowments were splendid and bestowed on wonderful edifices, ' says the Arab his- 1 History of the Copts, p. 85. 2 Id. P. 90.
CH. Iv. ] The Roman Fortress. 233 torian : and he specially mentions that in the Mu'al- lakah was found ' a very great, endless quantity of gold fabrics and silken vestments 1 '.
It may be noted as a curious fact in this and in many other cases that there was no destruction of the fabric, whether it was shielded by the indolence or by the superstition of the Muslims.
