Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies: papers from the fifty-first meeting of the Seminar for Arabian Studies held at the British Museum, London, 4th to 6th August 2017. - Volume 48, 2018 (1st edition.)

The Seminar for Arabian Studies has come a long way since 1968 when it was first convened, yet it remains the principal international academic forum for research on the Arabian Peninsula.

This is clearly reflected in the ever-increasing number of researchers from all over the world who come each year to the three-day seminar to present and discuss their latest research and fieldwork.

The seminar has covered, and continues to cover, an extensive range of diverse subjects that include anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art, epigraphy, ethnography, history, language, linguistics, literature, numismatics, theology, and more, from the earliest times to the present day or, in the fields of political and social history, to around the end of the Ottoman Empire (1922/1923).
