Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Arabia I thought at first of trying to keep our several writings apart; but, to avoid confusion of inverted commas, I decided, acting on advice, just to put the whole thing into as consecutive a form as possible, only saying that the least part of the writing is mine. The bibliography is far from complete, as I can name only a few of the many books that my husband consulted on all the districts round those which we were going to penetrate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Arabia by James Theodore Bent The first Arabian journey that we undertook was in 1889, when we visited the Islands of Bahrein in the Persian Gulf; we were attracted by stories of mysterious mounds, and we proposed to see what we could find inside them, hoping, as turned out to be the fact, that we should discover traces of Phoenician remains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ancient Coinage of Southern Arabia Hitherto the coins of Southern Arabia have always been classed together as 'himyarite'. It will be seen that the greater part of them must be divided between Sabaeans and Himyarites, and also that there is ground for distinguishing two small groups of coins, one attributable to the Minaeans, the other to the Katabanians (people of Kataban), although this latter group can only be regarded as subordinate to the main Himyarite series. Three out of the' four tribes mentioned by Strabo are thus provided with a coinage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ion Keith-Falconer of Arabia Ion Keith-Falconer takes his place among Master Missionaries in virtue of the circumstances which marked his dedication to the work and the influence he exerted. Of noble birth and brilliant scholastic gifts, possessing wealth, a lover of sport and champion cyclist, he relinquished the certainty of a distinguished career in England to pioneer a mission amongst the Muslims of Southern Arabia. In his brief span of life there he accomplished little, but the work he initiated continues, and the inspiration of his character and example has been deep and wide-spread. It is a question whether such a record as is here presented by one who has the privilege of following in his footsteps is not better fitted to produce recruits for the mission field than biographies more charged with tales of successful achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arabia The following sketch, in which an attempt is made to cover the history of Arabia from our earliest knowledge down to the entry of Arabs into the Great War, was written to make one fourth part of a volume planned to comprehend also Syria, Mesopotamia, and Persia. The original scheme, however, could not be carried out and my sketch, slight and summary as it is, has to appear by itself. Since I am not an Arabist, it is hardly necessary to say that I owe much to other writers - most, perhaps, to Gaetani, Huart, snouck-hurgronje, and Margoliouth. The last named has laid me under the deepest obliga tion; for he has been so good as to read my book in proof, and to correct in several places my ignorance or my inadvertence. But mine remains the entire responsibility for both the matter and the manner of the following pages. The orthography adopted for Arabic words will be seen to involve a compromise between scientific transliteration and the vulgar spelling of familiar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arabia Infelix: Or the Turks in Yamen Since this book went to press the Powers of Europe have grappled in a struggle that is shaking the western hemisphere. Turkey, after wobbling for weeks on the brink of hostilities, has been pushed over by her Turco-German war-party. The whole incident shows how a strong military clique can drive an unstable government to disaster. Turkeys attitude towards the British, who have guaranteed the integrity of her empire for more than half a century, is largely the outcome of Teutonic intrigue, but our action in retaining her two new battleships (the Sultan Osman and the Reshadieh) had more to do with it than most of us imagine. The subscription for those ships was a religious matter, to which all classes had contributed their utmost. We should not like our subscriptions for a new cathedral to be arbitrarily diverted to the building of a mosque. By the law of nations we were justified in our embargo on those battleships, but sentiment is impervious to logic, and popular feeling in Turkey became violently Anglophobe, though many of her greatest men realized what her departure from neutrality would mean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arabic Authors: A Manual of Arabian History and Literature The following pages contain nothing new and nothing original, but they do contain a good deal of information gathered from various sources, and brought together under one cover. The book itself may be useful, not, perhaps, to the Professor or to the Orientalist, but to the general reader, and to the student commencing the study of Arabic. To the latter it will give some idea of the vast field of Arabian literature that lies before him, and prepare him, perhaps, for working out a really interesting work upon the subject. Such still remains to be written in the English language, and it is to be hoped that it will be done some day thoroughly and well.

Download or read book Of Sand or Soil written by Nadav Samin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do tribal genealogies matter in modern-day Saudi Arabia? What compels the strivers and climbers of the new Saudi Arabia to want to prove their authentic descent from one or another prestigious Arabian tribe? Of Sand or Soil looks at how genealogy and tribal belonging have informed the lives of past and present inhabitants of Saudi Arabia and how the Saudi government's tacit glorification of tribal origins has shaped the powerful development of the kingdom’s genealogical culture. Nadav Samin presents the first extended biographical exploration of the major twentieth-century Saudi scholar Ḥamad al-Jāsir, whose genealogical studies frame the story about belonging and identity in the modern kingdom. Samin examines the interplay between al-Jāsir’s genealogical project and his many hundreds of petitioners, mostly Saudis of nontribal or lower status origin who sought validation of their tribal roots in his genealogical texts. Investigating the Saudi relationship to this opaque, orally inscribed historical tradition, Samin considers the consequences of modern Saudi genealogical politics and how the most intimate anxieties of nontribal Saudis today are amplified by the governing strategies and kinship ideology of the Saudi state. Challenging the impression that Saudi culture is determined by puritanical religiosity or rentier economic principles, Of Sand or Soil shows how the exploration and establishment of tribal genealogies have become influential phenomena in contemporary Saudi society. Beyond Saudi Arabia, this book casts important new light on the interplay between kinship ideas, oral narrative, and state formation in rapidly changing societies.
