At the end of the 2nd para of his Preface to:
 
MODERN ARABIC TALES
by
ENNO LITTMANN, PH. D.
volume I
ARABIC TEXT
Late E.J.Brill
Publishers and Printers
LEYDEN 1905
(Part VI of the Publications of an American Archaeological Expedition to
Syria in 1899-1900 - Under The Patronage of V.Everit Macy, Clarence M.Hyde,
B.Talbot B.Hyde and I.N.Phelps Stokes)
 

Enno Littmann announced "later volumes [which] will also contain":
 
1. an enquiry into the origin of the different tales, a few of which have
come even from Europe;

2. a translation of the whole [collection] into English;
3. a phonetic transliteration;
4. a grammatical sketch;
5. a vocabulary.
 
Could anyone tell me whether Littmann ever fulfilled any of his promises
(or hopes) stated there?
Thanks,
Srpko Lestaric
