Cf. pp. 278 ff., above. The following
assumption of a period of forty years does not square with the
remarks Ibn Khaldun makes here about the length of human life,
whether one translates "the average duration of life" or "middle
life"-the latter a barely possible rendering, seemingly
supported by the quotation from the Qur'an and the discussion
found 2:291 f., below. |

Bulaq reads: "... if one knows the number of
ancestors. If the reader considers (this rule), he will find it

Ibn Khaldun applied this idea to his own pedigree
and came to the conclusion that it omitted quite a number of
links; cf. Autobiography, p. 1.
