Joseph Halévy

Joseph Halévy (1827-1917) was a French Orientalist and traveller, born at Adrianople. His most notable work was done in Yemen, which he crossed during 1869-70 in search of Sabæan inscriptions, no European having traversed that land since AD 24. The result was a most valuable collection of 800 inscriptions, &c. His works are numerous, and deal with various branches of Oriental study.
