Arabian Travellers Book
Arabia, the home of the Moslem faith, has always held a fascination for Europeans. Christened Arabia Felix, happy Arabia, for centuries the interior was a huge blank space on the map, unknown even to its Turkish overlords. Only the main pilgrim routes to Mecca and Medina were known to the outside world, and almost nothing was known of the people and their puritanical way of life. This situation remained until Carsten Niebuhr returned in 1767, the sole survivor of an expedition sent to Egypt and southern Arabia by the Danish government in 1761. The discovery of Arabia had begun.Looks like a very interesting book. It has many illustrations. 224 pages. Measurers 7 3/4 x 10 1/2 inches.Read More
