Taken from the collection of studies published under the collective title Mémoires de l'histoire et de Ia geographie orientales, Mémoire sur la Conquête de la Syrie stands as a monument to the insight of M. J. de Goeje on the Arabic conquest of Syria. After setting the political milieu of Syria prior to the invasion, de Goeje moves on to the preparation and departure of the troops of Abu Bakr and the voyage of Khalid. The Battle of Ayjnadyn is presented in some detail before a more substantial consideration of Khalid’s role comes under scrutiny. Turning to the Battles of Fahal and Maraj-al-Safar, he traces the difficulties faced on the way to Damascus. The famous Battle of Yarmouk with its stirring defeat of the Byzantine army resulted in the subjugation of Syria to the Arabian army. De Goeje ends his account with the rule of Omar in Syria. This brief account of an important phase of Syria’s history will be sure to please those interested in the general history of the Middle East as well as scholars studying the rise of Islam.

Michael Jan de Goeje (1836-1909) was a Dutch Orientalist. He earned his doctorate at the University of Leiden where he later became professor of Arabic. His many editions of Arabic texts are still held in high regard today.

Einleitung in das Studium der Arabischen Sprache

The introduction to the Arabic language by the renowned linguist Georg Freytag is fast becoming difficult to find. Written in German, this precise presentation is intended for a general readership which has no background in previous Semitic language study. The Arabic period covered for this historic grammar is that of Mohammed and later. In some ways an unconventional approach Freytag introduces topics such as Arabic names and the history of the Arabs, even prior to Mohammed’s time. An outline of the Arabic language and its dialects is presented. A period piece that retains its functionality, this introduction to Arabic is more than a grammar, it is a view into the life of the Arabian world.
