Description:

Abstract: The volume consists of individual copies of the Arab Bulletinproduced by the Arab Bureau at the Savoy Hotel, Cairo numbers 66-114. These publications contain wartime, and post-war intelligence obtained by British sources. They deal with economic, military, and political matters in Turkey, the Middle East, Arabia, and elsewhere, which – in the opinion of British officials – affect the ‘Arab movement’; the bulletins cover a wide range of topics and key personalities.The volume contains the following maps:A map of Central Arabia showing St John Philby's route from Uqair to Jidda 17 November to 31 December 1917: folio 103.Sketch map prepared from RNAS photographs and reconnaissance by HMS City of Oxfordof Wadi Mur February to March 1918 : folio 170.Sketch map of Hejaz (1919): folio 317.Tribal sketch map of the Hadhramaut ‘showing only tribes of fighting value’: folios 333v.Towards the back of the volume is a small amount of correspondence respecting the distribution of Notes on the Middle East; the Arab Bulletinwas superseded by this publication. Copies of numbers 3-4 of this publication can also be found at the back of the volume.Tables of content can be found at the front of each issue. A small amount of content is in French.Physical description: Condition: the edges of some of the folios towards the back of the volume have suffered damage to their edges due to general wear and tear. The affected folios are 389-390, 407-409, and 412.Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the first folio with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 413; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. The front cover and the leading flyleaf have not been foliated. A previous foliation sequence, which is present between ff 357-363 and ff 374-412 and is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
