Carsten Niebuhr - Beschryving van Arabie -

Carsten Niebuhr was among six people invited by the king of Denmark to explore the Arabian peninsula. They dressed in disguise so they could be part of a pilgrim's boat traveling to Mecca. Niebuhr was in Arabia . By the time he returned, all of the others on the expedition had died. Niebuhr's writings included the first accurate maps of Yemen and his exploration of cuneiform writing led to distinctions that allowed these writings to be translated. Bound in contemporary half calf. Binding is very solid, but shows some wear, spine ends slightly chipped, corners rubbed. Read More
