- Robert_Bertram_Serjeant abstract "Robert Bertram Serjeant (23 March 1915 - April 29, 1993) was a Scottish scholar, traveller, and one of the leading Arabists of his generation. He was born and raised in Edinburgh and studied at Edinburgh University under the Quranic scholar Richard Bell. He received his MA in 1935, and moved on to Trinity College, Cambridge, completing his PhD dissertation on Islamic textiles under the supervision of Professor CA Storey. He won a scholarship to work at SOAS with Professor AS Tritton. In 1940, he was working in Aden, but with the Second World War in progress, he was commissioned into the Aden Government Guards, spending his time in the Subayhi country of southern Arabia. He returned to the UK in 1941, where he edited the \"Arabic Listener\" at the BBC. When the war ended, he restarted his academic career at SOAS, and in 1947 went to research the language and society of the Hadhramawt region in Arabia. He published a study called \"Prose and Poetry from Hadhramawt\" in 1951. In 1955, he became the chair of Modern Arabic at SOAS. In 1964, his friend Professor AJ Arberry prompted him to return to Cambridge where he was appointed Lecturer in Islamic History. He was also director of the Middle East Centre at Pembroke College, Cambridge, remaining in this post until his retirement in 1981. Following Arberry's death in 1969, he was appointed Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic. After his retirement, he returned to his native Scotland where he continued his academic research.Two of his notable works are \"The Portuguese off the South Arabian Coast\", published by the Clarendon Press in 1963, and \"Sanaa: an Arabian Islamic city\" (1983) which he wrote and co-edited with Professor Ronald Lewcock. The latter is regarded as the definitive work on the Yemeni capital. Bob Serjeant married Marion Robertson, a doctor, in 1941. They were married for more than 50 years. He died in the garden of his cottage in Denhead, St Andrews in April 1993. In 1995, his widow gifted his library of nearly 5,000 volumes on Islam and the Yemen as well as his unpublished manuscripts to Edinburgh University.".
