Moreh collated the autograph with the MSS of al-Jabarti s two short histories of the French occupation of Egypt, Muddat al-Faranss bi-Misr and Mahar al-taqds bi-dhahb dawlat al-Faranss. He also collated it with a number of other manuscripts of the Aja'ib, paying particular attention to the MSS which had been copied under al-Jabarti's own supervision. Al-Jabarti checked these copies himself, writing his corrections on the margins. Especially noteworthy is a manuscript in Maghribi script which was checked by the author and belonged to his friend Hasan al-Attar. Al-Attar took this MS with him on his travels, adding a variety of materials, some inspired by al-Jabarti himself. Al-ttar s material has been used in the present edition. Moreh has restored as far as possible the original grammatical usage and style of al-Jabarti, and his text includes passages omitted from the Bulaq edition. The readings given on the margins of the present edition indicate the revisions that al-Jabarti made to his opus magnum as a result of changing political circumstances in Egypt.'. …
