Hello all,

    I am trying to get a copy of a mid 19th century Omani text called the
Sirat Nasir b. Abi Nabhan.  Among other things, it compares Ibadism with
Wahhabism.  It isn't really my thing, but I am interested in some references
to Omani opinions of Saudi raiding practices.   J. C. Wilkinson mentions it
in a number of places, but a cursory WorldCat search has come up dry.  Has
it been published?  Does anyone have any suggestions for obtaining a copy?
Might the manuscript have been microfilmed?

    Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

-Brian
