5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiration for students of the Near East,
By J. E. S. Leake "sailor and scholar" (Offshore, Persian Gulf) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oriental Essays (Hardcover)
For those people involved in Middle Eastern studies, a background of those people who founded and developed the English-speaking world's studies of the region is of real interest, and, indeed, inspiration. This book contains seven essays, one each on Simon Ockley, Sir William Jones, E.W.Lane, E.H.Palmer, E.G.Browne and on R.A.Nicholson. In the case of Browne and Nicholson, the essays are a personal tribute of the author to his teacher (Nicholson) and his teacher's teacher (Browne). Inspirational, but the RoutledgeCurzon reprint is very, very over-priced, sadly.
