Papers and Correspondence produced in the governance of the Gibb Memorial Trust.
Gibb Memorial Trust CambridgeLetter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that he will write to Mr Paul of Calcutta to come as a research student of Rumi. He also writes that he has had a letter from H. Ritter who is unsure whether he will be able to complete his Bibliotheca Islamica. Arberry asks for Storey's opinion of this as one of the trustees.
Arberry Arthur John 1905-1969Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that he had been asked by Taqizadeh whether the Gibb Trustees would be willing to present some of their publications to the Persian Embassy. He sends the form to get those printed that are no longer in print, and asks that Storey sign if he is in agreement. Arberry also writes of Nicholson's retirement from the Trust and his hope they may be able to have a meeting of the trustees at some time this year.
Arberry Arthur John 1905-1969Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to state that when he, Gibb and Levy happened to meet the previous week he had reported to them concerning Luzac's complaint at being unable to fulfil orders for Gibb Memorial Volumes worth approximately £1000 and that the lack of binding work could lead to the deterioration of the stock. He asks Storey if he could go to Heffer to see what their condition actually is and whether there is chance of progress. He is also writing to Raynes to ask if he will write to the British Council to expedite the material to Heffer that is necessary.
Arberry Arthur John 1905-1969Letter from A.J. Arberry to C.A. Storey to thank for his letter and to express his relief that Luzac's account had been exaggerated. He also asks whether Storey had seen the report in a Persian magazine that A.A. Semonov had discovered a manuscript of the Khamsa of Amīr Khusran Dihlawī dated 756 in the Library of Tashkent. He will lend Storey his copy if he is interested in seeing the article.
Arberry Arthur John 1905-1969Letter from Brooke Crutchley, University Printer, to C.A. Storey to inform of their experiments in setting up Arabic mechanically in Monotype cast for Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt and to provide an estimate of the costs for printing.
Cambridge university pressLetter from C.A. Storey to A.J. Arberry to enclose a copy of Heffer's last letter to Raynes on the subject of binding which explains that the difficulty is due to shortage of binders. He also replies that he is fully aware of the condition of the material as he has spent much time with it since its transfer to Cambridge in 1941 and there is no question of deterioration. He suggests that the British Council would probably not be able to help with the situation of binders. He gives a more detailed explanation of the situation of the stock and suggests, in future, they trustees ensure volumes are immediately folded and stitched after printing as they cannot afford to keep stocks of flat sheets. With this letter are some notes in Storey's hand containing information about stock.
Storey Charles Ambrose 1888-1967Letter from C.A. Storey to E.G. Raynes in which he writes that he had completed the discharge form and returned it on 12/04/1951. He also writes of his pleasure in presentation copies of Kitāb al-Tashbīhāt being sent out. He will happily be relieved of being a nominee for the investments of the Trust.
Storey Charles Ambrose 1888-1967Letter from C.A. Storey to Luzac & Co. to send them the Presentation List for the new volume of the Gibb Memorial Service. They should not let anyone see it other than the trustees. He suggests they now receive 150 copies rather than 100 in order to cover the ones needed to be sent to those on the Presentation list.
