Contents:
In his review of Eduard Glaser's monograph 'Die Abessinier in Arabien und Afrika', Archibald Henry Sayce (1845-1933), Professor of Assyriology at the University of Oxford, praises the work as 'brimful of new facts and startling discoveries'.
Professor Sayce particularly appreciates Eduard Glaser's approach of making full use of the inscriptions brought back from Abyssinia by the explorer and archaeologist Theodore Bent (1852–1897) which are described in detail from a historical point of view.
Among the numerous points of interest, the author highlights the etymology Eduard Glaser proposes for the name of Ethiopia, which he derives from 'aṭyūb', the plural of 'ṭaib' ('incense').
