Arbuthnot Release Date: November 24, 2006 [EBook #19914] Language: English Character set encoding: ASCII *** START OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ARABIC AUTHORS *** Produced by Thierry Alberto, Don Perry and the Online Distributed Proofreaders Europe at http://dp.rastko.net ARABIC AUTHORS. A MANUAL OF ARABIAN HISTORY AND LITERATURE. BY F.F. ARBUTHNOT, M.R.A.S., AUTHOR OF "EARLY IDEAS" AND "PERSIAN PORTRAITS." LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN. 1890. PREFACE. The following pages contain nothing new and nothing original, but they do contain a good deal of information gathered from various sources, and brought together under one cover. The book itself may be useful, not, perhaps, to the Professor or to the Orientalist, but to the general reader, and to the student commencing the study of Arabic. To the latter it will give some idea of the vast field of Arabian literature that lies before him, and prepare him, perhaps, for working out a really interesting work upon the subject. Such still remains to be written in the English language, and it is to be hoped that it will be done some day thoroughly and well. It is gratifying to think that the study of Oriental languages and literature is progressing in Europe generally, if not in England particularly. The last Oriental Congress, held at Stockholm and Christiania the beginning of September, 1889, brought together a goodly number of Oriental scholars. There were twenty-eight nationalities represented altogether, and the many papers prepared and read, or taken as read preparatory to their being printed, showed that matters connected with Oriental studies in all their branches excite considerable interest. England, too, has been lately making some efforts which will be, it is sincerely hoped, crowned with success. The lectures on modern Oriental languages lately established by the Imperial Institute of the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and India, in union with University College and King's College, London, is full of promise of bringing forth good fruit hereafter. So much is to be learnt from Oriental literature in various ways that it is to be hoped the day may yet come when the study of one or more Oriental languages will be taken up as a pastime to fill the leisure hours of a future generation thirsting after knowledge. In addition to the above, a movement is also being made to attempt to revive the old Oriental Translation Fund. It was originally started in A.D. 1828, and did good work for fifty years, publishing translations (see Appendix) from fifteen different Oriental languages, and then collapsing from apathy, neglect, and want of funds. Unless well supported, both by donations and annual subscriptions, it is useless to attempt a fresh start. To succeed thoroughly it must be regarded as a national institution, and sufficiently well-off to be able to afford to bring out Texts and Indexes of [Transcriber's note: Missing page in the source document.] -cially An-Nadim's 'Fihrist,' a most valuable book of reference, ought to be done into English without further delay. Private individuals can hardly undertake the business, but a well-organized and permanent Oriental Translation Fund, assisted by the English and Indian Governments, could and would render extraordinary services in the publication of texts, translations, and indexes of Oriental literature generally. For assistance in the preparation of this present volume my thanks are due to the many authors whose works have been freely used and quoted, and also to Mr. E. Rehatsek, of Bombay, whose knowledge of the Arabic language and of Arabic literature is well known to all Oriental scholars. F.F. ARBUTHNOT. 18, Park Lane, W. CONTENTS CHAPTER I. HISTORICAL.

Cassini observes the active south pole of Enceladus. Science 311, 1393–1401.]. We combined these images with lower resolution Cassini images and four others taken by Voyager cameras to produce a high-resolution global controlled mosaic of Enceladus. This global mosaic is the baseline for a high-resolution Enceladus atlas that consists of 15 tiles mapped at a scale of 1:500,000. The nomenclature used in this atlas was proposed by the Cassini imaging team and was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

This map series is the third version of the Enceladus atlas and 1 270° West supersedes the release from 2010 . The source of map data was the Cassini imaging experiment (Porco et al., 2004)2. Cassini-Huygens is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI mission to explore the Saturnian 350° system. The Cassini spacecraft is the first spacecraft studying the Saturnian system of rings and 280° moons from orbit; it entered Saturnian orbit on July 1st, 2004. The Cassini orbiter has 12 instruments. One of them is the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem 340° (ISS), consisting of two framing cameras. The narrow angle camera is a reflecting telescope with 290° a focal length of 2000 mm and a field of view of 0.35 degrees. The wide angle camera is a refractor Samad with a focal length of 200 mm and a field of view of 3.5 degrees. Each camera is equipped with a 330° 300° large number of spectral filters which, taken together, span the electromagnetic spectrum from 0.2 60° 320° 310° to 1.1 micrometers.

    A CRATER CHAIN ON ENCETADUS: EVIDENCE FOR EXPLOSIVE WATER VOLCANISM Jeffrey S. Kargel Department of Geology and Mineralogy, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION. On Saturn's icy satellite Enceladus there exists a chain of craters extending roughly southward from the large crater Ali Baba. Ali Baba ("A" in Figure 1) is an irregularly shaped crater with a sharp rim crest, a very large central prominence, and a mean diameter of thirty-seven kilometers. The crater chain, to be referred to in this paper as the Ali Baba Chain (arrows in Figure 1). extends about 150 kilometers from the center of Ali Baba wd is composed of about twenty craters or depres- sions, each about three to six kilometers wide and probably roughly 300 meters deep. The Ali Baba Chain is very nearly radial to Ali Baba and precisely describes an arc of a great circle. The simple geographic relationship held by Ali Baba with the All Baba Chain at first seems toindicate that the latter is a secondary crater chain associated with the former. Hovever, other circumstw- rial evidence favors 81 endogenic origin: The Baba has approx~matelythe saw length, width, and depth as near-by structurally controlled grooves, suggest- ing a similar origin. (2) The All Baba Chain is orthogonal to and apparently terminates against one of the grooves (lower arrow in Figure 1). and is parallel to Isbanir Fossa ("B" in Figure 1). again suggesting a tectonic control of some sort. (3) Other crater chains and discontinuous groove-like structures are not obviously radial to any large crater. Specifically, three possible origins must be considered for the Ali Eaba Chain: 1.
