Abstract

(1) H.Z. (J.W.) Hirschberg, A History of the Jews in North Africa. Vol. I, From Antiquity to the Sixteenth Century (Leiden, 1974), pp. 401-402. A French translation, which differs slightly from the above is given in Simonne Bakchine-Dumont, Les Juifs du Touat (XIVe et XVe sicles), M6moire de Maitrise d'Histoire, Universit6 de Paris, Facultd des Lettres et Sciences Humaines, 1975-1976, pp. 160-161. David Corcos gives the text only of these and other lines from the 'Kinah' in his The Jews of Morocco under the Marinids, Jewish Quarterly Review, LIV (1963-64), pp. 271-287, LV (1964-65), pp. 53-81, 137-150. See pp. 276-277, where he points out the jeu de mots between 'Meghila' and the man of the 'Meghilla' Esther, who is Haman, persecutor of the Jews.
