Extract

The Yemen Arab Republic (Sanca) is becoming day by day more accessible. Research conditions are changing weekly and the number of scholars working in the Yemen has increased dramatically. Accordingly, it seems that the very helpful article by Green and Stookey (MESA Bulletin VIII/3, 1974) needs to be expanded topically, as no single article can now detail all of the research possibilities and materials in the Yemen.

Footnotes

1 A friend recently asked a scholar for a brief autobiographical statement. The calīm, without hesitation, dashed off a form-perfect, medieval, biographical dictionary entry, in the third person. He gave birthdates, teachers, travels while studying, and books he was authorized to teach.

2 All should be easily located in any PL-480 library.
