The original plan of the Caaba (which is
servilely copied in Sale, the Universal History, etc.) was a
Turkish draught, which Reland (de Religione Mohammedica, p.
113 - 123) has corrected and explained from the best
authorities. For the description and legend of the Caaba,
consult Pocock, (Specimen, p. 115 - 122,) the Bibliotheque
Orientale of D'Herbelot, (Caaba, Hagier, Zemzem, etc.,) and
Sale (Preliminary Discourse, p. 114 - 122.).
