Short description:
This letter by the Secretary of the Austro-Hungarian Embassy in Constantinople deals with the issuing of the 'fermân' (decree by the Ottoman Sultan) which Eduard Glaser required to conduct his scientific research in the interior of the Vilayet of Yemen.
Reference is made to the death of the Austrian orientalist Siegfried Langer (1857-1881) who had fallen victim to an attack by his guides shortly before the arrival of Eduard Glaser (1855-1908) to Yemen. Langer's tragic fate was subsequently adduced by the Ottoman authorities as the reason for their reservations regarding Glaser's application for a research permit.
