Book Overview

Landseer's Sabaean Researches is a book written by John Landseer in 1835. The book is a detailed account of Landseer's travels and research in the ancient kingdom of Sheba (also known as Saba) in modern-day Yemen. Landseer was a British artist and engraver who was fascinated by the ancient history and culture of Sheba, which was known for its wealth and power in the ancient world. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Sheban culture and history. Landseer provides a detailed description of the landscape, architecture, and artifacts of Sheba, as well as the customs and beliefs of its people. He also delves into the mythology and legends surrounding the queen of Sheba, who is said to have visited King Solomon in biblical times. Landseer's Sabaean Researches is notable for its rich illustrations, which were drawn by Landseer himself. The book includes numerous engravings and sketches of Sheban artifacts, architecture, and landscapes, as well as portraits of the people Landseer encountered on his travels. Overall, Landseer's Sabaean Researches is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history and culture. It offers a rare glimpse into the world of Sheba, which was largely unknown to the Western world until 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.
