Note 219
From The Invasion of Spain, part of Chapter 51 of the Decline & Fall

See the article Eslamiah (as we say Christendom), in the Bibliotheque Orientale (p. 325). This chart of the Mahometan world is suited by the author, Ebn Alwardi, to the year of the Hegira 385 (A.D. 995). Since that time, the losses in Spain have been overbalanced by the conquests in India, Tartary, and the European Turkey.
