GLASER, Eduard, geb. 15. M�rz 1855 in Deutsch-Rust (Bez. Podersam). War einige Zeit Assistent an der Universit�tssternwarte in Wien, begann aber bereits 1880 seine Reisen in die L�nder des Orientes. In der Zeit von 1882 bis 1889 hat er drei wissenschaftliche Reise auf die wenig bekannte und schwer zug�ngliche arabische Halbinsel durchgef�hrt...
… und wenn auch �ber die Deutung mancher dieser alten Culturreste Meinungsverschiedenheiten zwischen ihm und anderen Gelehrten zur Zeit noch herrschen, so hat sich doch GLASER durch Herbeischaffung eines ungew�hnlich groszen Materials von werthvollen historischen Denkmalen groszen Verdienst erworben.
Short description:
This note to the file by the geologist and mineralogist Oskar Lenz (1848-1925) contains an assessment of Eduard Glaser's scientific capacity in connection with Glaser's grant application for his fourth journey to Yemen.
Lenz addresses Glaser's disputes with peers in connection with the dating of Minean inscriptions, but concludes his appraisal stating that 'GLASER has earned great merit by acquiring an unusually large amount of valuable historical monuments'.
