By publishing this handlist on the occasion of the Snouck Hurgronje centenary commemoration the Leyden University Library wishes to express its deep-felt gratitude to that great Arabist and Islamic scholar who directed our Oriental Library Department as Interpres for nearly 30 years and greatly enriched its collections by leaving us his books and manuscripts.

Now the Arabic manuscripts belonging to his collection and numbering nearly three hundred, are being made known for the first time through this list. This is the first catalogue of oriental manuscripts mad...

The Tale of Benjamin Bunny is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, first published by Frederick Warne & Co. in September 1904. A sequel to The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902), it tells of Peter's return to Mr. McGregor's garden with his cousin Benjamin to retrieve the clothes he lost there during his earlier adventure. In Benjamin Bunny, Beatrix developed the rabbit universe she created in Peter Rabbit, and in doing so suggested that the rabbit world was parallel to the human world, but complete and sufficient unto itself. Benjamin Bunny was an instant commercial and popular success, and thousands of copies were in print by the end of 1904. The Times Literary Supplement thought Beatrix's illustrations "pencil perfect", [1] but suggested that she engage a literary assistant for future productions. Beatrix created a nursery wallpaper tapping Benjamin's image, [2] and he returned as an adult rabbit in the Flopsy Bunnies and Mr. Tod. Benjamin Bunny was adapted in 1992 as an episode of the BBC animated television series The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends.

Humans are unique in that they expend considerable effort and ingenuity in disposing of the dead. Some of the recognisable ways we do this are visible in the Palaeolithic archaeology of the Ice Age. The Palaeolithic Origins of Human Burial takes a novel approach to the long-term development of human mortuary activity – the various ways we deal with the dead and with dead bodies. It is the first comprehensive survey of Palaeolithic mortuary activity in the English language. Observations in the modern world as to how chimpanzees behave towards their dead allow us to identify ‘core’ areas of behaviour towards the dead that probably have very deep evolutionary antiquity. From that point, t...
