Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 1880, Vol. 12 The reason for the selection of the number ninety-nine, in relation to these Divine Titles, is that the chaplet or rosary used by Muslims in their daily devotions, contains ninety nine beads, divided into three sections of thirty-three each. The greater chaplets of the Dervish orders contain nine hundred and ninety-nine. Possibly, nine hundred and ninety is the true number - ten times that of the ordinary chaplet. They are spoken of as containing a thousand; even, a thousand and one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
