Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition. 13 pages, including 2 sketch-maps. Plus photographic plates. This is a captivating expedition account of the author s sojourn in Arabia, namely the Hejaz, at the time a forbidden country to unbelievers, concerning all aspects of the Hejaz, including its geographical features, the territorial disputes and tribal factions, as well as the population that inhabits this spectacular region steeped in history and bloody. Disguised as a Muhammadan, Mr. Rutter engaged himself in the Islamic rituals including daily prayers and the Pilgrimage, also visited the Prophet s tomb. Mr. Rutter outlines his pilgrimage from Suez by sea to Massowa and Al Qahm, and thence, disguised as a Muhammadan pilgrim, by land through the Hejaz frontier at Halli - describing the place being an exceedingly dirty village of rush huts inhabited by slave traders - Al Qunfunda, Al Lith - village of mud houses and rush huts - and Wadi Yelamlam to the Holy City of Mecca where he stays for nine months visiting the great Mosque of Mecca, performing the rites of the Muhamman Pilgrimage for few days, and making an excursion to Al Taif, his final departure from Mecca and his journey through Rabigh to Medina, where he engages in the rites of visiting the Prophet s tomb, and his passage from Medina to Yenbo (El Yanbu). An engaging travel account illustrated with a full-page sketch map of the Hejaz showing Mr. Rutter s route to Mecca and Medina, an in-text sketch diagram depicting his route from Mecca to At Taif, and several amazing photographic plates showing the Kaaba (the House of Allah), the Great Mosque of Mecca, the Prophet s tomb, at Medina, and Bab es Salaam in the Mosque of Medina. Followed by equally interesting 2-page discussion on the water of Zemzem (Zam Zam)- a sacred well in Mecca - Quraish tribe, the mysterious Black Stone of the Kaaba, and water supply of Mecca. Ships from U.A.E.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. xv, 302 pp., [1] / vii, 287 pp., [1], 2 maps, 4 plans, 2 photo frontispieces with captioned tissue guards, half-titles, publisher's buckram gilt, slightly damaged by dampness at top margins, title gilt in Arabic on upper cover, upper edges gilt, minor spotting, previous owner's name inscribed on front fly leaves, the set otherwise is in good condition. Rutter was a young Englishman who was inspired by the exploits of Burckhardt and Burton to attempt the Hajj. Following service during the First World War, he took employment in the Malay States in order to learn Arabic and continued his studies in Egypt "where he lived as a native until he felt so thoroughly at home in the language and well versed in the rites and traditions of Islam as to be confident of his ability to carry through the pilgrimage as a fully fledged Muhammadan." (Sir Percy Cox's Geographical Journal review) Despite the death of his intended travelling companion, and the outbreak of hostilities in the Hejaz, nothing daunted Rutter and "determined to adhere to his longcherished plans," he set out from Suez for Massawa', wisely avoiding the usual route via Jeddah. A little over a year later he was back in Egypt. "Thus ended a great enterprise, carried through with consummate pluck and fixate of purpose, and now given to his countrymen in two absorbing volumes which leave noting to be desired either in literary style or human interest". #2517.
