Contents:
Fritz Hommel (1854-1936), professor of Semitic languages at the University of Munich, discusses the implementation of the Austrian expedition to South Arabia in 1898/99 - a research sojourn sponsored by the 'Imperial Academy of Sciences' (today's Austrian Academy of Sciences).
Hommel points to the fact that, at the beginning, this expedition was supposed to be co-led by David Heinrich Müller (1846-1912), Professor of Semitic philology at the University in Vienna, and count Carlo Landberg (1848-1924), a German-Swedish Arabist and 'excellent connoisseur of the country and its people' (see first part of Hommel's article, published on 29.03.1899, p. 2).
In his view, this dual leadership was doomed to failure from the very beginning. -->
Hommel cites examples of the increasing rift between Landberg and Müller (mainly over difficulties to travel to the centre of South Arabia), concluding that it will be a devastating blow to D.H. Müller, if Landberg decides to publish his 100-page report on the expedition... (p. 3.) -->
Hommels judgement on D.H. Müller reads as follows:
'Just as he treated the deserving traveller Dr. Glaser ..., whom he did not want to allow to come up at any price, he has now also acted against Count Landberg: scheming and sowing discord everywhere, egoistic everywhere, ruthlessly proceeding everywhere, he does not tolerate anyone else beside him.'
