In 1815 1817 he was professor of Oriental languages at the Athenaeum of Franeker and lectured on Arabic, Chaldean and Syriac. From 1817 1822 he held the post of "extraordinary" professor Oriental languages) at Leiden University. Abu `Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Omar Ibn Waqid al-Aslami 747-823 commonly referred to as al-Waqidi, was an early Muslim historian and biographer of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, specializing in his military campaigns. A number of works chronicling the Islamic conquests have been attributed to al-Waqidi, though most of these attributions are now believed to be mistaken. The title of this book reflects the uncertainty: " A book of uncertain authorship on the conquest of Memphis and Alexandria, generally attributed to Abou Abdalla, son of Mohammed Omar, Wakidaeus, of Medina. (Arabic text from bibl. Lugd. Bat. )." ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 350 pages. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 11555
