Contents:
The article contains a review of Eduard Glaser's work 'Von Ḥodeida nach Ṣan'â vom 24. April bis 1. Mai 1885. Aus dem Tagebuch des Forschungsreisenden Eduard Glaser' which was published in 'Dr. A. Petermanns Mitteilungen aus Justus Perthes' Geographischer Anstalt'.
The author focuses on Glaser's statements on the Jews in Yemen which the explorer had recorded in his diaries in the course of his second journey to South Arabia (April 1885 - February 1886).
According to the reviewer, it would be 'very desirable that the collected material be further exploited', i.e. that Glaser or the French scholar Joseph Derenbourg, to whom Glaser had already sent a detailed report on the religious conditions of South Arabia two years ago, eventually decided to publish the reports, inscriptions and sketch maps in their entirety.'
He is indeed puzzled by Glaser's concluding remark according to which 'it would be fortunate for the Yemeni Jews if an eloquent apostle could convert them to either Christianity or Islam' (p. 46 of Glaser's work).
