Studies on Modern Yemen , 5

Contents:
Jens Willhardt's study aims at examining the perception of and the encounter with South Arabia. After a brief outline of the geography and history of Yemen (pp. 31-34), the author examines the representation of South Arabia in literature (pp. 35-175).
Willhardt notes that al-Hamdānī's description of the Arabian Peninsula - Ṣifat Ǧazīrat al-ʿArab - was a veritable 'treasure trove' to numerous travellers, in particular to Eduard Glaser. (p. 48) He also highlights the contribution of the Yemeni coppersmith Ḥayyim Ḥabšūš (1839-1899) to the mission of the French scholar Joseph Hal�vy (1827-1917), pointing out that it was Eduard Glaser who encouraged Ḥabšūš to put his experiences with Hal�vy on paper in the form of a travelogue. (p. 73)
As far as Eduard Glaser's perceptions of Yemen and the people living there are concerned, the author mainly quotes from 'Eduard Glasers Reise nach M�rib' which was published in 1913, i.e. five years after the death of the tireless explorer (1855-1908).
