T. Legh

See MacMichael

W. MacMichael

A journey from Moscow to Constantinople in the years 1817, 1818; London, 1819

Note 2 : Chapter 4 of MacMichael's book is a narrative of Legh's journey with Bankes et al. to Petra and through Trans-Jordan "composed" by MacMichael from an oral account given by Legh. (The text, as well as the relevant passage from Burckhard's Travels in Syria, was reprinted in The Biblical Repository, Andover, Mass Vol III, Nos. X, XI and XII, 1833, with an introduction and notes by the editor, Edward Robinson, under the general titles "Sketches of Idumea and its present Inhabitants, from the Travels of Burckhardt and Legh". It is evident from this that Robinson was already deeply interested in "Palestine and adjacent regions" in which he was to travel to such good effect in 1838 : see below)

C.L. Irby and
J. Mangles

Travels in Egypt and Nubia, Syria and Asia Minor during the years 1817 to 1818. London, 1823

Note 4 : In April 1819 C. Baillie and C. Barry (the latter the future architect of the present Palace of Westminster) with others, investigated the possibility of reaching Petra from Jerusalem. Negotiations with several Arabs, (including one who pretended to be Abu Zeitun, "the Sheikh of Wadi Mousa") failed and the project was abandoned. See Charles Barry's Near Eastern Diaries in the British Architectural Library, Royal Institute of British Architects, Volume 8, entries of April 23 and 24, 1819 and Baillie's letter to W.J. Bankes of January 24 1820, Bankes' Correspondence Collection in Dorset County Record Office, Dorchester, D/BKL:HJI/125

 Note 5 : See J. Hogg, Further Notice Respecting the Sinaitic Inscriptions. Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom, 2nd Series, 5, 1856, 33-58. Hogg says that Frazer was in Petra "some years later" than 1818.

1826

Strangways and Anson

Note 6 : The only specific references to the Petra journey of Strangways (misspelled by Laborde as Strangwais) and Anson which I have seen are by Léon de Laborde; see these most conveniently in Pétra Retrouvée (qv below) pp 85 and 142. Stephens makes several references in his Incidents of Travel to unnamed travellers who had preceded him to Petra in the previous few years.

L. de Laborde

Note 7 : As the anonymous translator of de Laborde's work put it in his English version of 1836 it "differs from that of M. de Laborde in several particulars"; it is a translation of only "the greater portion" of the French text which he has rearranged and to which he has added material from other books. Christian Augé and Pascale Linant de Bellfonds have also rearranged and edited de Laborde's text in their Pétra retrouvée and have added much valuable comment and information, including excepts from Linant's hitherto unpublished "carnet de voyage".

J. L. Stephens

Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia Petræa, and the Holy Land. 2 vols. New York 1837/London 1838

Note 8 : Stephens' name does not appear on the title page of the New York edition of 1837; the book is described as being "by an American".

C. & R. Rowley, W. Shipley-Conwy and
? Seymer

Note 9 : Charlotte Rowley and her husband Richard spent their honeymoon travelling, in 1835-36. They were accompanied by Charlotte's brother William Shipley-Conwy, and by a friend named Seymer; see "A Honeymoon in Egypt and the Sudan: Charlotte Rowley 1835-36" by P. Rowley-Conwy, J. Rowley-Conwy and D. Rowley-Conwy in Travellers in Egypt, P. and J. Starkey, eds., London 1998,
pp 108- 17.

J.L. Stephens records a meeting with a party of English travellers near Luxor in January 1835 on pp 288-290 of his Incidents of Travel in Egypt, cited under 1836 above. He does not name the people but the description he gives leaves virtually no doubt that this was the Rowley party. It was they who first suggested to him that he might travel to Palestine via Petra: in the event he went there in spring of 1836 and they in the second half of the same year.

No information about the Rowleys' journey to Petra is available at present; their letters and diaries have survived but have not been made available for study. The members of the party wrote or scratched their names, with the date of 1836 on the wall of the Khazneh. Castlereagh referred to their graffiti and praised Charlotte for her achievement in making the journey on pp 182-83 of his Journey to Damascus, cited under 1842 below. Brünnow and Domaszewski recorded the graffiti in Die Provincia Arabia, I, p. 192, cited under 1897-98 below, and more recent visitors to Petra have also noticed them.

None of the travellers who preceded the Rowleys to Petra and who left a record of the journey travelled with a woman and Charlotte was almost certainly the first European of her sex to go there. She was followed a few months later by the several women members of the German botanical expedition of 1837 (see von Schubert, 1838, below)

Lord Prudhoe

Note 11 : In the Appendix of his article entitled "The Journeys of Lord Prudhoe and Major Orlando Felix in Egypt, Nubia and the Levant 1826-1829" on pp 75-84 of Travellers in Egypt, P. and J. Starkey eds. London 1998, John Ruffle notes that one of Lord Prudhoe's notebooks, PN VI in the archives at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, contains copies of inscriptions from Aaron's tomb, Mt. Hor, Wadi Musa and Nahr at Kalb, and that a slip inside it states that it also contains a journal of travel in the Holy Land "-date doubtful ? 1838". Confirmation that the date of the journey was 1838 is provided by E. Robinson's Biblical Researches, cited below, the first London edition of which was dedicated to Lord Prudhoe. A comparison of the language of the dedication with dates given elsewhere in the book shows that Prudhoe's journey must have been made in March, April, or May, 1838. Prudhoe's itinerary from Ajrud North West of Suez "to the Arabah" a total distance of 131 miles, is given on
pp 563-564 of Vol I of Robinson.

Since the above was written some material from Notebook PN VI at Alnwick has been made available for study.

Note 13 : Morris (who was later appointed U.S. Minister to Turkey) made a three day visit to Petra at the end of March, returned to Aqaba where he met Olin, Formby and Mr and Mrs Cooley travelling with a large party or group of parties, and went back with them to Petra where they all stayed until April 2 or 3.

J.E. Cooley

The American in Egypt with Rambles through Arabia Petræa and the Holy Land during the years 1839 and 1840. New York 1842

Note 14 : It is clear from the preface and the "Notice" at the end of Cooley's book that he planned a two volume work, the second of which would describe the journey to Petra. Only one appeared, however, which described a tour in Egypt and ended with preparations being made in Cairo for the onward journey to Sinai, Petra and Palestine.

The first volume abounded in "humorous" and sometimes insulting remarks about people the author met in Egypt, including G.R. Gliddon, the U.S. Consul in Cairo. The book was scathingly reviewed and Gliddon published a letter he wrote to Cooley and his publishers which ended "It only remains for me to add, that your work shows you to be a blackguard and I have branded you as a liar". (Cf. a book of pamphlets and cuttings about Cooley's book in the British Library, shelf-mark 7704.e.13 [1-15]). There can be little doubt that after all this fuss Cooley's publishers refused to publish his second volume.

E.J. Morris (1842, P. 287) met Cooley and his wife in Petra and both Mr & Mrs Cooley wrote their names in or on the Khazneh. Brünnow and Domaszewski (I, 192) state that their graffiti were dated 1844, but it would seem more likely that this was an error rather than that the couple paid a second visit to Petra four years after the first.

Prints of Smith's photographs are in Edinburgh University Library and in the Palestine Exploration Fund archives; they are probably the earliest surviving photographes of Petra.

A Handbook for Travellers in Syria and Palestine..., John Murray, London 1858

Note 18 : This guidebook, attributed on good grounds to Porter (author of Five Years in Damascus, 1855, and other books) is notable for its early date and the inclusion of Petra among the places described. It is not certain that Porter himself visited Petra but the information he gives is up to date (he refers to "the present year" [1857]) and reliable. The 2nd edition of 1868 is similarly useful.

The title was changed in Vol. 138 to Egypt: And a journey to Palestine via Mt. Sinai and Petra. Three instalments appeared in Vol 138 (pp 196-210, 371-378, 489-500) and two in Vol 139 (Jan-Apr 1867 (pp. 200-209, 447-456). No instalments appeared in Vols. 140 or 141. Two instalments appeared in Vol. 142 (Jan-June 1868) pp. 188-196 and 346-353. The last instalment (346-353) describes Mt. Hor which they climbed the day before they expected to enter Petra.

Note 31 : Forder claimed to have visited Petra "nearly a score of times" (Petra, Perea Phoenicia, London [nd c 1923], p 8) six of them before 1901 (Sela or Petra, "The Strong City", the ruined capital of Edom. BW, XVIII, 1901, 328-337). Some of his visits must have taken place while he was a missionary in Kerak (1891-97) as described in his With the Arabs in Tent and Town, London [nd c. 1902] or subsequently when he lived in Jerusalem or elsewhere. He accompanied Hornstein in Sept 1895, G.L. Robinson in May 1900 and Curtiss in July 1900. His books and articles are illustrated with his own very good photographs.
