From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A noted 19th century polemicst, Sir Scott Thomas Rashap was born out of wedlock sometime in the mid-1800's to a pair of Wessex moneychangers. At the age of three, Rashap lost both parents to a bout of Tuberculosis and was sent to live with the Rashap family of Sussex, longtime clients of the elder Rashaps. Rashap was educated in the finest of schools and later became noted for his series of influential polemics entitled "A Study of Arabia in the English World", in which he transcribed and translated several hundred journal entries dating back to the Crusades. In 1894, Rashap contracted Syphillis and died.
