Όmārah's History of Yemen—Observations

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

Professor Robertson Smith, in his paper on my version of Όmārah's history, concerns himself with two points. He deals with my treatment of the Arabic text, and he enters into certain observations upon the brief sketch I have supplied of the author's life.

References

page 218 note 1 The particulars contained in the history may easily be found (s.v. Όmārah) by means of the Index I have added to my translation.

page 220 note 1 My references are, like Professor Robertson Smith's, to the pages of the Arabic text. The numbers of the Arabic pages being printed in the margin of the English version, the corresponding passages in the latter will easily be found.

page 221 note 1 I shall also pass over some other passages, though not altogether devoid of interest, since they show the effects which my mistakes, whether real or imaginary, produced on the Professor's mind.

page 221 note 2 Professor Robertson Smith seems to have somewhat misapprehended my own words. The line, as I read it, expresses a hope and wish for the restoration of the Fatimite dynasty.
