Contents:
Within his 'Bildungsroman', a Glaser biography based on 'found documents, supposed dreams, liminal texts and pop music videos that unfold along a rather tortuous line', Enrico Floriddia attempts to shed a totally different light on the Austrian astronomer, epigrapher, archaeologist.
Based on the memoirs of Glaser's local guide in Yemen, Hayyim Habshush, and some letters preserved in Paris by the 'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres', this article explores the question: 'Was Eduard Glaser a scholar, a library rat or rather a trader and an explorer?'
