To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That, on the other hand,- the Arabian writers of the middle ages should have translated Ptolemy's Greek name into the language of their time, is reasonable and intelligible. Masudi, one of the earliest and most cele- brated of them, who flourished in the tenth century of our era, was thoroughly acquainted not only with the works of Ptolemy, but also with those (now lost) of Marinus of Tyre ; and nothing is more natural than that he should have adopted from them the " Mountains of the Moon," in ...common with much more which he is to be regarded merely as proYincialisms, and not as constituting distinct dialects. The language spoken by the Israelites must therefore have been acquired by them during their residence in the Land of Canaan; and it should consequently be denominated Canaanitiskf as a member of the Hamitish, Hametic, or Syro- African class of languages, and not ** Semitic ;** which name, though it may designate the lineage of the descendants of Abraham, is wrongly given to the language spoken by the Hebrews after they had quitted their native country.
