Evidence
Fabrications are usually of two kinds. In the ļ¬rst, the forgerāas in the Dome of the Rockātakes an authentic existing text and changes it to suit his purpose. In the second, he fabricates the text in its entirety, and attributes it to a real or imaginary author of his own choosing or invention. ā Bernard Lewis, From Babel to Dragomans, 495
