| Description | Copy of an Arabic manuscript text, 'Kashf al-Ghummah', bound in red paper covers. The original had borne the inscription 'Presented to our friend Dr Wendell Phillips, with our best wishes, Salalah-Dhofar, 6 December 1960, Said bin Taimur', but the entire text had been recopied and a dedication added in red ink 'To Brad, my fellow 'Arabian Explorer', with my best salooms and deepest appreciation, Aloha. Wendell. Honolulu, Oct. 9 1961.' |
