Robertson and Mr. A. D. H. Bivar for unfailing kindness and interest in my problems. My thanks are also due to Miss Cecilia Ady, Miss Olga Bickley, Dr. Barbara Reynolds, Miss Frances Williams, Professor Paul Kahle and the late Professor Pope. For their kindness during my visit to Jugoslavia I thank Drs. Fiskovic and Grade and Signora Vernazza. I owe very much to Mr. G. W. Murray for his help in the interpretation of Felix Fabris account of the desert journey, and for permission to use his map as the basis of that on p. 38. My debt to Mrs. D. M. Mack and to Mr. Malcolm Letts is greater than all other I can only ask them to accept my thanks. Lastly I wish to express my gratitude to my Publishers for their patience, and to Mrs. Millar for much help in connection with the illustrations.
