Short description:
In his review of both volumes of Eduard Glaser's 'Skizze', Archibald Henry Sayce (1845-1933), Professor of Assyriology at the University of Oxford, highlights Glaser's discovery of a large number of inscriptions:
'What Dr. Glaser has already published is so important and so novel that we await with impatience the volume in which Arabian history is dealt with in all its details. Above all, it may be hoped that the publication of the texts upon which the reconstruction of that history is largely built will not long be delayed. Dr. Glaser has discovered more than a thousand inscriptions which have never been copied before. The decipherment of them is like the exploration of a new world.'
