In 1870, the Ṣanʿānī coppersmith Ḥayyim Ḥabšūš (1839-1899) accompanied the French epigrapher Joseph Halévy (1827-1917) during his expedition in the Jawf, the north-eastern Zaydī tribal area of the Yemen, Najrān and Mārib in order to collect and copy pre-Islamic inscriptions. (pp.183-184)
In 1893, at the instigation of Eduard Glaser (1855-1908), Ḥabšūš began to write the events of his journey with Halévy and gave it the title Ruʾyā al-Yaman ('Image of the Yemen').
He started writing his memoir in Hebrew, but was later prevaled upon by Glaser to finish the text in Judeo-Arabic (Arabic written in the Hebrew script).
This article contains 13 passages covering some of the interesting linguistic and stylistic features of Ḥabšūš's text.
