Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Knowledge Possessed by the Ancient Chinese: Of the Arabs and Arabian Colonies, and Other Western Countries, Mentioned in Chinese Books Among the numerous statements about foreign countries found in ancient Chinese works, those regarding the Arabs are the most satisfactory. This opinion, however, is not to be taken absolutely but only relatively, in regard to the time when these accounts were written down; for, in general, Chinese writings contain much that is illogical, contradictory, and absurd, which our sinologues are accustomed to pass over with indulgence. At the end of each of tho histories of the various Chinese dynasties, handed down successively since the second century B.C., are to be found accounts of foreign countries known by tho Chinese at those particular times. But the descriptions of them are often so vague and inaccurate that for the most part no deductions can be drawn from them. The Chinese, in their description of countries, natural objects, etc., are very inexact. Their views about what is and is not important are quite different from ours, and very often we find that the principal matter is not mentioned at all. Nevertheless, we are much indebted to them for our knowledge of Asiatic history, and especially regarding Central and Eastern Asia, the history of these parts being almost unknown to us except from Chinese sources. It is only in a few cases that we are enabled to compare the Chinese accounts of ancient Asiatic geography with the statements of contemporary Indian or Mohammedan writers concerning the same countries. We can do so as regards the Chinese notices about the ancient Persians and Arabs, which are not in contradiction with the Mohammedan annals. Cut their accounts about T'iao chi are so vague and contradictory, that several hypotheses have been advanced by European scholars regardiug the position of ancient T'iao chi. Generally T'iao chi was identified with the Tadjiks (Persia). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Im Frühjahr 1906 fand die von Kaiser Wilhelm II. entsandte Deutsche Aksum-Expedition statt, die unter Leitung des deutschen Orientalisten Enno Littmann (1875-1958) stand. Schon 1913 wurden die Ergebnisse, zu denen erste systematische Ausgrabungen in Aksum, die Dokumentation von Kirchen und Klöstern, die Aufnahme von 37 Gesängen in amharischer und arabischer Sprache und die Sammlung zahlreicher Inschriften gehörte, publiziert. Zur Vorbereitung der 100. Wiederkehr dieses Ereignisses fand vom 2. bis 5. Mai 2002 in München die Erste Internationale Littmann-Konferenz zum Thema "Archaeology and History of the Horn of Africa" statt, die in der Öffentlichkeit und in Fachkreisen ein breites Echo fand. Sie wurde nach dem Muster der von F. Hintze begründeten Internationalen Meroitisten-Konferenzen organisiert. In 80 Beiträgen wurde der aktuelle Forschungsstand auf ausgewählten Gebieten behandelt. Knapp die Hälfte davon ist in diesem Band abgedruckt. Drei der vier Hauptreferate sowie sechs Diskussionsbeiträge zum Thema "Archaeology of the Horn of Africa" (R. Fattovich), vier Beiträge zum Thema "The History of the Horn of Africa", sieben Beiträge zum Thema "The Ethiopian Church" (S. Munro-Hay) und sechs Beiträge zum Thema "Enno Littmann und die Deutsche Aksum-Expedition" (R. Voigt) liegen in dem voluminösen Band vor. Sie werden ergänzt durch sieben Beiträge zu "Recent Research and New Discoveries".
