In search of the true Arabian horse Carl R.Raswan lived and migrated with nineteen Bedouin tribes and studied their rites and ways for more than twenty years.
During that time he gathered his unparalleled collection of Bedouin words connected with horses, breeding and horsemanship.  The uniqueness of this collection stems from the fact that Raswan had an intimate knowledge of animal husbandry as well as horsemanship and he spent more than two decades with camel and horse-breeding Bedouin tribes in Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, Transjordan, and the provinces Hejaz, Nejd, and Qasim, studying the Bedouin languages and dialects. He may also have been the only Arabist studying depth Arabian studbook, pedigrees and importation papers to extend this vocabulary.
Each word is written down in Arabic script, trascripted in its Latin script equivalent, and Raswan provides its meaning and explanations in English.
In the second part of this work, Johannes Erich Flade, internationally renowned expert of Arabian horse breeding, gives a vivid account of the life and the travels of his close friend Carl Reinhard Raswan.


Nella sua ricerca delle origini del cavallo arabo l'autore ha vissuto con 19 tribù beduine in Siria, Iraq, Kuwait e Giordania per circa vent'anni.

Durante questo periodo ha raccolto questa collezione di parole connesse con i cavali il loro allevamento e l'equitazione.

Ogni parola è scritta in arabo e trascritta in inglese con le spiegazione del caso.

Nella seconda parte di questo lavoro, Johnanne Erich Flade, esperto di fama internazionale di allevamento di cavalli arabi, offre un resoconto vivido della vita e dei viaggi del suo amico Carl.
