Wilfred Thesiger is perhaps the last, and certainly one of the greatest of the British travellers among the Arabs, his narrative is vividly written. These papers cover the five years in which Thesiger spent in and around the Empty Quarter, the half million square miles of one of the cruellest deserts in the world. The 20th century was very fortunate in being able to have a record of some of the glory it lost as seen through the eyes and camera of this very remarkable explorer. He was born in the British Legation in Addis Ababa in 1910, an event that was to shape the life of this extraordinary man and spent his first nine years in Ethiopia, or Abyssinia as it was then called. By the time he accompanied his parents back to England in 1919, the sight, sounds, wildness and raw savagery of the land had been instilled in him and a traveller was born. His return to Ethiopia in 1930 for the crowning of HIM Haile Selassie marked the beginning of his first hunting and exploration adventures into this highly dangerous country. Wilfred Thesiger has an immense ability to describe very vividly the life and ways of the people of the desert, the Bedu, and his work shines with his clear attachment to them. After leaving Arabia he travelled extensively in the Karakoram and the Hindu Kush (the setting of his meeting with Eric Newby immortalised in Newby's A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush), the mountains of Kurdistan and the marshlands of Iraq. But he says that none of these places moved him as did the deserts of Arabia. He spent five years in the region travelling on camels and on foot across some ten thousand miles of a vast empty land. What he found, as in his time with the people of the Iraq marshes which he described in his book The Marsh Arabs, was a way on life on the threshold of destruction.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. In November 1893 an agreement was signed between the British and Afghan governments defining on paper the boundary of the spheres of influence of the two governments wherever they touched each other. The British representative during the negotiations was sir Mortimer Durand, and the boundary in question was since then referred to as the Durand Line. Demarcation was successfully carried out along a considerable portion of the frontier. Owing however to conditions prevailing in tribal territory certain parts of the boundary line could not be visited, and much of it remained undemarcated. This narrative describes how in 1894, one of the gaps, a small but important one, had been filled in.

Bis zur osmanischen Eroberung war in Iznik die türkische Herrschaft immer nur von kurzer Dauer, selbst von der seldschukischen Periode haben wir nur für eine verhältnismäßig kurze Zeit sichere Kunde. Hier waren es die Byzantiner selbst, die den seldschukischen Truppen eine friedliche Einahme der Stadt ermöglichten. Etwa um 1078, also noch vor der Machtergreifung Alexis I. (1081-1118), dürfen wir mit der Besetzung Izniks durch die Seldschuken rechnen, die als Alliirte des aufständischen byzantinischen Heerführers Nikephoros Botaniates unter der Führung Suleimáns und Mansúrs, Söhne des Qutulmis, kampflos in die Stadt einzogen.
