(xiii) Read the accompanying entry cautiously and answer the inquiries given toward the end.
The Sultan sent agents to all pieces of the East to purchase uncommon compositions, and take them back to Cordova. His men were always looking through the book retailers' shops at Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad for uncommon volumes for his library. At the point when the book was not to be purchased at any value, he would have it duplicated; and now and again even know about a book which was uniquely in the writer's brain, and send him an attractive present and beseech him to send the main duplicate to Cordova. By such means he gathered no less than 400,000 books and this when printing was obscure, and each duplicate must be horrendously replicated in the fine clear hand of the expert copyist.
