Questa celebre e importante opera, diventata un classico di viaggio e di esplorazioni, introdotta da un lungo commento di T.H.

Nel 1874 pass in Palestina, al Cairo, nel Sinai, poi a Damasco, dove si diede allo studio dell'arabo.Nel 1876-78 comp un ardito e avventuroso viaggio nell'Arabia settentrionale e centrale: fu a Mada'in Salih, dove studi i monumenti e raccolse materiale epigrafico mineo e nabateo, a Taima, a Ha'il, a Khaibar dove fu imprigionato. Dopo una lunga odissea riusc a raggiungere Gedda..
