Contents:
'Philip K. Hitti's study of the Arabians and the Arabic-speaking peoples is a valuable source of information on Arab history.' For his summary of the rise, the achievement and the decline of the Arab civilisation from the earliest times down to the end of the Mamlūk rule and the Ottoman period, the author has drawn upon the works of many historians and travellers incl. Eduard Glaser (1855-1908).
In Chapter V (pp. 49 ff.), which is devoted to 'The Sabaean and Other States of South Arabia', Eduard Glaser is quoted several times as is his yield of some 2000 inscriptions collected during four scientific expeditions between 1882 and 1894.
In connection with the breach of the Great Dam of Mārib (p. 64), Hitti (1886-1978) quotes Glaser's work 'Zwei Inschriften über den Dammbruch von Marib. Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte Arabiens im 5. und 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr.'.
In Chapter VI ('The Nabataean and Other Petty Kingdoms of North and Central Arabia' pp. 67 ff.), Hitti refers to Glaser's 'Skizze der Geschichte und Geographie Arabiens von den ältesten Zeiten bis zum Propheten Muhammad' (p. 72).
