El Arca de Noé en las fuentes árabes

Abstract

The well known biblical theme of Noah's Ark Noé, like so many others, was incorporated into Moslem tradition. Looking into various Arab sources we have found sorne information about the Arch under the headlines of description, inhabitants, route, and final settlement. We have reached the conclusion that throughout centuries Moslem tratition has added sorne data which in most cases move away a great deal f'rom the original starting point.
