SNOUCK HURGRONJE , DR.C.,/ P. SJ. VAN KONINGSVELD

Scholarship and friendship in early Islamwissenschaft :

1985.. the letters of C. Snouck Hurgronje to I. Goldziher from the Oriental Collection of the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest 3XIV + 600 p., name index. SOFTCOVER: (Orig large paperback.VERY GOOD / AS NEW),
¶ VERY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER thhis vol. 2 of the Sources for the History of Islamic Studies in the Western World.: an important work which contains 488 letters between Christian Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936) and his Hungarian colleague and friend, Ignaz Goldziher (1850-1921), followed by a few letters of other members of the Snouck Hurgronje family to Goldzihers. The author was a professor of the Arabic language in the University of Leiden in Holland. He travelled to Arabia in 1884-85, and he had the opportunity to live in Maccah for six months and in Jeddah for another six months. The life and works of Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje (1857-1936) mark an important period of the European study of Islam and of Dutch colonial history. Both subjects can hardly be studied properly without taking into account the role played by Snouck Hurgronje. Among the most important sources his personal letters to his family, friends and colleagues.
