AladineAl′adine (3 syl.).
The sagacious but cruel old king of Jerusalem in Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered, book xx. This is a fictitious character, inasmuch as the Holy Land was at the time under the dominion of the caliph of Egypt. Aladine was slain by Raymond. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894
