We learn from Ibn-Khaldoun and many other writers, that the throne of the Mussulman sultans was the mimbar, takcht, or cursi. |
The mimbar, or pulpit is so placed that the speaker can face Mecca. |
The Moorish mimbar or pulpit of the mosque of Cordova was very wonderful. |
The preacher standing on the second step of the mimbar, or pulpit, with a large club or staff in his hand, delivers his sermon. |
There is only a pulpit for the preacher, which stands along the left side, and on the right is the mimbar, that is a flight of stairs with ten steps. |
