Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A man-made, dug-out troglodyte underground dwelling of unspecified nature (note 1), is (or, perhaps, was) situated somewhere outside of Delhi. CULTURAL HISTORY: Ibn BATTUTA (ca. 1355 for 1325-1354, edited by GIBB, H.A.R. 1929 reproduced 1998: 212): I had visited the shaykh Shiháb ad-Din in his cave outside Delhi. GIBB, H.A.R. (1929 reproduced 1998: 362 note 16): In a previous section, omitted in this edition, Ibn Battuta relates at length the history of Shaykh Shiháb ad-Din. He had incurred the sultan's displeasure first by refusing to take office under him, and spent someyears in an underground dwelling he dug for himself near Delhi, and which contained several rooms, store-rooms, an oven and a bath.A man-made, dug-out troglodyte underground dwelling of unspecified nature (note 1), is (or, perhaps, was) situated somewhere outside of Delhi.
