Salaams Jim,
Thank you ! I think that if someone has taken the time to do a forum library search and has clearly researched through their own book library that it is only right to support their hard work. I often see this problem ...Good threads suddenly hit a wall far too early in their development. Its such a pity. The study on Yemeni arms has miles to go... we haven't even scratched the surface. Even a niche study like Niebuhr or Ibn Battuta could fill hundreds of pages..
Forum are reminded of the library and for those we use the friendly term "lurkers"(readers who have not joined our Forum yet) I urge you to dig into our library and if you havent joined yet ~
Its time you did...
On an analytical note I see the stamps on the post and suspect them of being ancient family stamps perhaps similar to ones seen on the other thread
Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
