Description | Folder of general correspondence between 1990 and 1991, arranged chronologically and including letters to or from Peter Frankl, Jerzy Zdanowski, C.S. Nicholls, F. Scholz, R.B. Serjeant, Rex Smith, Basim Musallam, Brian Marshall, Gordon Johnson and Suleiman Mousa. Most of the letters deal with editorial matters for 'Arabian Studies', some of which are accompanied by draft articles and submission, but they also include the growing disagreements between the editors and the management at Cambridge that led to the resignation of Smith and Bidwell in the autumn of 1991, and their subsequent establishment of 'New Arabian Studies.' |
