| Description | Blue folder with 'The Yemens. Misc. lectures' written on back and containing numerous typescripts on the Hadhramaut region of South Arabia (now in eastern Yemen) including a 21-page general study, and essays with titles such as 'The Hadhramawt in the First Centuries of Islam', 'The Hadhramawt in the Middle Ages'. 'The Hadhrami Revolt', 'The Incense Trade', 'The Ibadhi Interlude', 'Religion' and 'Social and Political Organisation.' It is possible that these were drafts for a planned publication rather than lecture texts. There are some annotations and numerical markers that suggest it was part of a larger project, and a slim brown file of typed notes on the history of the Hadhramaut, covering topics such as incense production etc. |
