practice of his house
In the simultaneous patronage of different religions, Kbli followed the
practice of his house. Thus Rubruquis writes of his predecessor Mangku
Kaan: ‘It is his custom, on such days as his diviners tell him to be
festivals, or any of the Nestorian priests declare to be holydays, to hold
a court. On these occasions the Christian priests enter first with their
paraphernalia, and pray for him, and bless his cup. They retire, and then
come the Saracen priests and do likewise; the priests of the Idolaters
follow. He all the while believes in none of them, though they all follow
his court as flies follow honey. He bestows his gifts on all of them, each
party believes itself to be his favourite, and all prophesy smooth things
to him.’ Abulfaragius calls Kbli ‘a just prince and a wise, who loved
Christians and honoured physicians of learning, whatsoever their nation.’
