Product Description

In this book Professor Arberry describes the lives and labours of six great scholars - Simon Ockley, Sir William Jones, E. W. Lane, E. H. Palmer, E.G. Browne and R. A Nicholson - men who were devoted to building a bridge between the peoples of Europe and Asia.
To these biographical essays, Arberry has appended a fragment of candid autobiography and an eloquent plea for the further encouragement of Oriental studies.

Oriental Essays Review

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.
