Within the same period (in 936) Palestine, together with Syria and Egypt, were conquered by the Turc Abubecr Mo- hammed; a new banner, never seen before in the holy city, floated on Zion and Moriah, and it was only in 968 that the Arabs reconquered these lost provinces. Only a few years the peace lasted : in 975 Syria and almost the whole of Palestine 22 were conquered by the East-Roman Emperor Tzimisces ; Christian garrisons trod again the streets of Jerusalem, and the Mussulmans were temporar...ily repelled. They soon regained thsir power; but only a few years later Palestine fell into the hands of other conquerors, the califs of the Fatimites in Africa. The first two rulers were mild, but the third, Al-Hakem, who had the madness to wish to be considered as the incarnation of God, raged with the fury of a maniac against the Jews and Christians, and the year 1010 witnessed a carnage inferior to none of the many preceding slaughters. " While scourged by famine, from the smiling land The mournful peasant leads his humble band, And while he sinks, without one arm to save, The country blooms a garden and a grave.
