Show moreAutograph letter from Thomas Edward Lawrence addressed to "Arm Staff Sergt. F.J. Seaton, A.O. Corps, c/o O.C. Troops, Rabegh, Arabia". The letter was written shortly after his return from Arabia. After having expressed his condolences to Seaton for the loss of his son, Lawrence lists the successful achievements in Aqaba and in the Hejaz and gives news of their old fellows and mentions that the King of Hejaz [Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz and Sharif of Mecca from 1916 to 1924] wants to give a medal to all the officers who served in the Arab Army, including the recipient. The author closes the letter with a striking sentence “[] Some day [sic] that little business in Arabia will be famous.". The letter comes with the original envelope.

Show moreEl-Khazraji, called Ibn Wahhas, was a Yemeni historian, who wrote under the Turkish Rasulid Dynasty in Yemen. He died late 812/early 1410, aged over 70. The biographical dictionaries give virtually nothing on his life, except Sakhawi, that states that he met him in Zabid. According to Hadjdji Khalifa, El-Khazraji wrote three histories of the Yemen, impelled, so he says, by the prevailing disregard for the study of history. This work is the best-known part of the one he wrote with events dynasty by dynasty. It is for earlier times very much a compilation, drawing on authors like Baha al-Dir al-Djand. The fulsome eulogies in it of the Rasulids, and his comparatively late date, have led G. R. Smith to compare it unfavourably as a source for Rasulid history with the earlier historian of the Yemen Badr al-Din Muhammad bin Hatim al-Hamadan.
