	DOZY, M., GOERE, M.J. (COMPLETED BY) Memoire Posthume de M. Dozy contenant de Nouveaux documents pour l'etude de la religion des Harraniens Leiden, E. J. Brill. 1884, First Edition. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Tire du vol. II des Travaux de la 6e session du Congres international des Orientalistes ae Leide. Language: Arabic, French. 86 pp. Harran, also known as Carrhae, is an archeological site located in southeastern Turkey, southeast of Sanliurfa. Since the beginning of the Islamic period, Harran is located in the historical region now called Diyar Mudar (lands of the Mudar tribe), the western part of northern Mesopotamia (Jazira). It was one of the main cities in the region. The people of Harran retained their ancient pagan faith during the Christian Byzantine and Early Islamic period, although a bishop resided in the city. Despite this fact, during the reign of the Umayyad caliph Marwan II, Harran became the seat of the caliphal government of the Islamic empire stretching from Spain to Central Asia. When the Abbasid caliph al-Ma'mun was passing through Harran on his way to a campaign against Byzantium, he forced the Harranians to convert to either one of the 'religions of the book' - Judaism, Christianity or Islam. In fact the Harranians were known as Sabians long before Mamun. At the same time there is some debate as to whether the term `Sabian' as used in the Quran is really applicable to the followers of Harranian religion (propably the most popular view among scholars is that the Mandaeans are the closest to the Sabians of the Quran). During the late 8th and 9th century Harran was one of important centres for translations of works of astronomy, philosophy, natural sciences and medicines from Greek to Arabic. Bringing the knowledge of the classical world to the emerging Arabic speaking civilization. Many important scholars of natural science, astronomy and medcine originate from Harran. Baghdad, the intellectually flourishing capital of the Abbasid empire, became the second centre of the Sabians. [Wikipedia]. Good.

Ignaz (Yitzhaq Yehuda) Goldziher (1850-1921) was a Jewish Hungarian orientalist and an important founder of modern Islamic studies in Europe. He investigated the pre-Islamic and Islamic law, tradition, religion and poetry. Goldziher published a large number of treatises, review articles and essays, and won large Academic appreciation. Most of his scholarly works are still considered relevant. In 1873 he made his first journey through Syria, Palestine and Egypt, and attended lectures of Muslim sheiks in Cairo. He was the first Jewish scholar to become professor in Budapest University (1894), and represented the Hungarian government and the Academy of Sciences at numerous international congresses. He received the large gold medal at the Stockholm Oriental Congress in 1889, became a member of several Hungarian and other learned societies, and was appointed secretary of the Jewish community in Budapest. He was made Litt.D. of Cambridge (1904) and LL.D. of Aberdeen (1906). In addition to his scholarly works, Goldziher kept a personal record of his reflections. This journal was later published in German as Tagebuch. The following quotation from Goldziher's published journal reflects his feelings about Islam: "I truly entered into the spirit of Islam to such an extent that ultimately I became inwardly convinced that I myself was a Muslim, and judiciously discovered that this was the only religion which, even in its doctrinal and official formulation, can satisfy philosophic minds. My ideal was to elevate Judaism to a similar rational level. Islam, so taught me my experience, is the only religion, in which superstitious and heathen ingredients are not frowned upon by the rationalism, but by the orthodox teachings.". Very Good.
