Remarks:
Like Eduard Glaser (1855-1908), Giuseppe Caprotti devoted himself to the collection of Arabic manuscripts. During his more than 30 years of residence in Yemen, Caprotti managed to bring together some 1,790 manuscripts, some of which were sold to the then 'K�nigliche Hof- and Staatsbibliothek zu M�nchen' (Royal Court and State Library) through the mediation of Eduard Glaser.
