1 work in the library quotes Jurjī Zaydān — 6 citations, each anchored to a verbatim passage in the work that does the quoting.

The harvest records where a citation is made: the paragraph in the citing book, and the chapter that paragraph stands in. It does not record which page of Jurjī Zaydān is meant. Where the citing text names a locus, you will find it in the quotation.
