Excerpt from Corpus des Inscriptions Arabes Et Turques de l'Algérie
Malgré les imperfections qui contrarient le philologue, ces inscriptions sont précieuses pour l'historien: elles lui fournissent les dates précises d'événements sur lesquels les chroniqueurs ne sont pas toujours d'accord. A ce titre comme à beaucoup d'autres, elles méritent d'être conser vees et étudiées. Un grand nombre d'entres elles ont été réunies, au Musée d'alger; d'autres sont encore attachées aux monuments où les fondateurs les avaient placées. Mais il en est plusieurs qui ont disparu dès les premiers temps de la conquête, lors dela démolition d'une partie de la cité arabe. Il importait donc de conjurer les effets de cette dispersion et d'empêcher que les pierres encore existantes ne fussent perdues pour la science c'est à quoi tend la publication de ce recueil.
