Nicholl, M.A. Lord Almoner's Professor and Reader of Arabic in the University of Oxford; Oriental Lecturer of Balliol College, Oxford; Professor of Sanskrit and Persian in King's College, London. PALMER'S WORK AS AN ORIENTAL SCHOLAR. Professor Palmer commenced his Oriental studies with the Saiyid 'Abdu'llah (or, as he called himself, Syed Abdoollah). For two or three years he read vigorously?I may say voraciously?Urdu, Persian, and some Arabic with Syed alone.' I have searched among the mass of papers Syed entrusted to me on his departure from England for scraps of Palmer's early compositions, and have found but one scrap?a sketch of the story of Llewelyn and his dog in charming Persian?apparently in Palmer's handwriting (or rather in one of Palmer's handwritings). And yet.as Syed told me, Palmer was constantly writing prose and verse exercises for him ?an employment, we all know, he delighted in. No exercises, however, were left in Syed's hands, it is clear. Now the secret of Palmer's success was that, whatever he read and digested, he could reproduce, redistribute, and reconstruct; and ' Palmer, when asked by the Shah from whom he had learnt his Persian and Arabic, replied? I learnt my Persian from Syed Abdoollah, and my Arabic from Arabs here and in Arabia. (See his account of the ShaKs Visit further on.) all his friends know well that he did reproduce, redistribute, and reconstruct in the most marvellous manner. At the very outset we find him sending original Arabic couplets to Professor Theodore Preston and turning' Lalla Rookh' into what he called his favourite language. For purposes of comparison these compositions, if they could be found, would be invaluable; though I doubt not that, in re...
Download or read book These Chivalrous Brothers written by David Sunderland and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the 1882 Palmer Sinai Expedition, a spying and terrorist mission that ended in the murder of its participants and was one of the great cause célèbre of the nineteenth century. Just before sunset on August 8th 1882 HMS Cockatrice, a small paddle wheel gunboat, appeared off the Egyptian shore. A rowing boat was lowered down its side and slowly moved towards the beach. On its arrival, six men and a teenage boy alighted. Three of the group were British, all dressed as Arabs, two were Bedouin tribesmen, one a Jew and one a Syrian. The following morning, this mismatched party set off for the desert, taking with them two boxes of dynamite and £3,000 in gold coin. Five of them were never seen again. An historical ‘who-done-it’, an adventure story, a history of the Anglo-Egyptian War and a biography of those involved in the controversy, /These Chivalrous Brothers/ explores the gulf between the Imperial ideal and reality and provides an insight into the character of the men who built the Empire. Through the biographies, it also throws light on such disparate topics as the early history of spying, spiritualism, female hysteria, biblical archaeology, various African uprisings, the Boer War and the hunt for ‘Jack the Ripper’.

Download or read book Jericho written by Robert Ruby and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a place both mythic and all too real, a place thought to be the site of one of our oldest human settlements and known to be a center of ancient cultures and annihilating conflicts. It sits at the bottom of a malarial valley, the lowest place on the surfact of the earth--"the overheated, earthen basement of the world," as Robert Ruby describes it. And yet, long before the world's modern religions began scrapping over its bones, Jericho was home to waves of colonization and floods of destruction. Fought over by the succeeding epochs of ancestors, the place we call Jericho is as old as the first remnants dated at 9,000 B.C.--and as current as the daily headlines. In this unorthodox biography of the first eleven thousand years in the life of a legend, Robert Ruby takes us back through time to those early settlements, then forward to the often crude but ultimately successful latter-day attempts to locate Jericho, to unearth and map and catalog its history. Beginning with the geography of place, he weaves together his own intimate knowledge of modern-day Jericho with stories of the lives and work of those explorers and archaeologists of the past whose courage often bordered on madness and whose dedication sometimes seemed the purest kind of human folly. Soldiers, scholars, engineers, adventurers--dilettantes and professionals alike, they were all dreamers drawn to this parched and dusty spot where so much of human history took place. Matching biblical accounts to araeological evidence, sifting myth from science, phantoms from reality, Robert Ruby teases out the complex strata of the past, helping us to make sense of what exists today. With the flair of a novelist and the enthusiasm of an amateur archaeologist, he offers a tale that is part detection, part epic adventure. Above all, he gives us a work of great literary panache: witty, fact-filled, and uterly, subversively compelling.
