Lawrence, then aged 22, when he undertook a month-long tramp through Northern Syria. It was not published until 1937, two years after his death, when the Corvinus fine-art press brought out 203 copies, of which only 150 were for sale. One motive {for the trip} was to obtain further plans and photographs of castles so the he could expand his dissertation {"Crusader Castles: The influence of the Crusades on European military architecture - to the end of the XIIth Century"} with a view to its future publication.~ From "A note concerning the text of this diary": ~It {the diary} consists of notes jotted down whenever he had a moment to rest. As he travelled to most places on foot and was extremely ill the great part of the time, the consistency of writing and spelling cannot be relied upon, especially as the original manuscript was kept in pencil in a small canvas-backed notebook and was never revised. The introductory poem ... was written by the author's brother who was killed in active service while flying in France during 1915.~ Originally published by The Corvinus Press 1937 in a limited edition of 203 copies (150 for sale). The book has become one of the rarest books in Lawrenciana.

Winston Churchill wrote in his contribution to "T.E. Lawrence by His Friends" (1937): ~As a narrative of war and adventure, as a presentation of all that the Arabs mean to the world, the Seven Pillars is unsurpassable. It ranks with the greatest books ever written in the English language.~ In his "WAR BOOKS", Cyril Fall gave "Revolt in the Desert" THREE STARS and wrote: ~If we question the best thinkers in the higher ranks of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force about the book's broader aspects, they are at least prepared to testify to the genius and vast services rendered by the author. There can be no doubt to-day of the immense aid given to Lord Allenby by the Arabs, and little doubt that Lawrence more than any other man -- out of a very brilliant team -- was responsible for that aid. The book belongs to the select top shelf of war literature. We need say nothing here of the larger version, "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom", for that is not generally accessible, and the reader may rest assured that he has all the best here.~ [O'Brien A063] #25729 DIE SIEBEN SAULEN DER WEISHEIT (Seven Pillars of Wisdom); Leipzig, Paul List $100.00 Verlag 1936: FIRST EDITION, 23.8 x 16.5cm, rough woven "Edelbast" [a plant fibre that looks like straw matting] with black & red leather spine label stamped in gilt & a black leather cover label, 848pp, top edge maroon others trimmed, indices, 38 b&w plates, 4 folding maps, some age darkening & rubbing to spine label, else NEAR FINE/not issued in dustjacket, ** First German Edition/"Dreizehnte und vierzehnte Auflage" (1300-1400 copies).
