"Musabbihi gives a wealth of official documents...... The very minute descriptions of etiquette at the Fatimid Court in Ibn Tuwair seem to be copied from a book of Court ceremonial. Ibn Mammati gives from personal knowledge rules for the diwans, and later al-'Omari a chancery-manual, the most perfect work on the latter's model being Kalkashandi's...... Finally writers like Ibn Dukmak and Ibn Dji'an use or reproduce bodily records of official surveys."—\[\*Encyclopædia of Islam\*, ii. 22.\] - [Previous: c18.s3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c18.s3.1) - [Next: c18.s3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c18.s3.3) - [Up: c18.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c18.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c18.s3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.sarkar-1920.c18.s3.2) · Pramāṇa
