Notwithstanding the depredations of time and of men, the Library still contains manuscripts which were deposited there when it was founded. Some of them even were written much earlier and are among the oldest Arabi…

Notes on Islam in East Africa
A Revaluation of Islamic Traditions
I should like to present some ideas on what, I think, is necessary revaluation of Islamic traditions in the light of our present knowledge; but am at a loss whether to call my conclusions something new and unprecedented, or something old and well known. No one could have been more surprised than I was by the results which the evidence of the texts has forced upon me during the last ten years or so; but looking back I cannot see what other result …

The Arabic Edition of the British Council Map: Europe and the Middle East
Note: The original request, made to the Society in 1940, was for a map in Arabic. This involved compilation in English, but it was hoped that the two versions would be published almost at the same time. The drawings for the map were first seen at a Meeting of the Society in May 1942, and they included a first drawing for an Arabic name-plate, but it was not nearly up to the standard of calligraphy required: Nor were the methods of writing Europea…
