Palmer's Work As An Oriental Scholar is a book written by George Frederick Nicholl in 1882 that focuses on the life and work of Edward Henry Palmer, a renowned English orientalist and linguist of the 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive account of Palmer's scholarly achievements, including his contributions to the field of Arabic studies, his work as a translator of Islamic texts, and his travels and explorations in the Middle East. Nicholl's biography sheds light on Palmer's early life, his education at Cambridge, and his subsequent career as a professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge. The book also discusses Palmer's involvement in the British government's efforts to survey and map the Sinai Peninsula, his travels to Egypt and Palestine, and his work as a translator of the Qur'an and other Islamic texts. In addition to providing a detailed account of Palmer's life and work, Nicholl's book also explores the broader historical and cultural context of the 19th century Middle East, including the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, the decline of the Ottoman Empire, and the impact of European colonialism on the region. Overall, Palmer's Work As An Oriental Scholar is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Middle Eastern history and culture, as well as anyone interested in the life and work of one of the most influential orientalists of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
