‎8vo. (6), 447, (22) pp. Woodcut printer's device to title page. Contemp. vellum. First edition of this Syriac glossary (rather than a thesaurus proper), arranged by subject rather than by alphabet: "Neque vero thesaurus est, sed verius nomenclator, non quidem ordine alphabetico, sed per materias dispositus.

‎Ockley, Simon.‎

‎The Conquest of Syria, Persia, and Aegypt, by the Saracens: containing the lives of Abubeker, Omar, and Othman, the immediate successors of Mahomet, giving an account of their most remarkable battles, sieges, &c. [...]. London, for R. Knaplock, J. Sprint, R. Smith, and J. Round, 1708.‎

‎8vo. XX, III-VIII, XI-XIV, (4), 391, (21) pp. Contemp panelled calf with giltstamped red label to gilt spine; leading edges gilt. Edges sprinkled in red. First edition of the author's most famous work. The orientalist Simon Ockley (1678-1720) was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge. He became fellow of Jesus College and vicar of Swavesey, and in 1711 was chosen Arabic professor of the university. His "'History of the Saracens' long enjoyed a great reputation; unfortunately Ockley took as his main authority a MS. in the Bodleian of Pseudo-Wakidi's 'Futúh al-Shám', which is rather historical romance than history. He also translated from the Arabic the Second Book of Esdras" (Enc. Brit.). A second volume appeared in 1718. - This copy includes 2 slightly different versions of the dedication to Henry Aldrich: the second, omitting his designation as 'One of Her Majesty's Chaplain in Ordinary', and containing other changes, is inserted in the preface. - Old ms. dates on t. p.

‎Oliveira, Custodio José de.‎

‎Diagnosis typografica dos caracteres gregos, hebraicos, e arabigos, addiccionada com algumas notas sobre a divisão orthografica da linguage latina, e outras da Europa [...]. Lisbon, Impressão Regia, 1804.‎

‎4to. 72, (14), VIII pp.; (2) ff. with engravings. Text set in roman, Hebrew, Greek and Arabic type. With a small Portuguese woodcut coat of arms on the title-page and 4 engraved plates on 2 leaves bound at the end of the book. Later blue paper wrappers. First and only edition of an instruction manual for the compositors of the Portuguese Impressão Regia on the proper setting of Greek, Hebrew and Arabic type. It was written by Custodio José de Oliveira (d. 1812), professor of Greek at the Colégio Real dos Nobres in Lisbon and one of the Directores Litterarios of the Impressão Regia, serving until 1807, for which he wrote the present work. The present work is identified as "very useful" by Innocencio and according to him, it was the only Portuguese manual on typesetting he knew so far ("Trabalho mui aproveitavel, para o tempo em que sahiu, e o unico que sobre o assumpto temos até agora escripto orginalmente em portuguez"). Oliveira shows in both the tables and inserts within the text the alphabets and numbers in Greek, Hebrew and Arabic with their roman equivalents. The last four plates (printed on both sides of two leaves) show common ligatures and abbreviations in Greek. The present copy of this very rare work is complete with all plates, the "Prefação aos compositores typograficos" (numbered I-VIII) and the seven-leaf dedication, all bound at the end of the book. An important work on the subject of typesetting and the only work on this topic known in Portuguese. - With the bookplate of Américo Cortez Pinto (1896-1979) on the front wrapper, a Portuguese physician, writer, poet and historian who also wrote some works on the art of printing. Front wrapper half loose and back wrapper loose, spine partly gone, wrappers a little frayed, discoloured and slightly stained. Paper edges slightly frayed as it is an untrimmed copy, sometimes with the bolts unopened. Some marginal staining, very minor foxing, but overall a very rare work on printing and typography which is still in fine condition. Bigmore/Wyman II, 90. Innocencio II, 461. The literature of printing: a catalogue of the library illustrative of the history and art of typography, calcography and lithography of Richard M. Hoe, p. 85. Not in Porbase.‎

‎4to. (56) pp, retaining blank leaf D4. With woodcut coat-of-arms on leaf E1 verso. Modern marbled boards. First edition; the first travelogue printed in Swedish. The report of the travels of the Swedish diplomat Bengt Bengtsson Oxenstierna (1591-1643) is couched as his funeral sermon (by the Stockholm theologian Olof Laurelius), followed by a detailed biographical account with separate title-page (pp. 33-55). Since many of Oxenstierna's manuscripts are lost, this rare imprint is the only source for some of his journeys. Oxenstierna visited the Levant twice, first in 1613 and most importantly in 1616-20. After being employed in the service of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the war against the Barbary corsairs, with ports of call on the Mediterranean islands and in North Africa, he travelled to Constantinople, where he resided during the winter of 1616/17. From Constantinople he continued to Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Iran, restlessly travelling back and forth throughout the following years. His returning journey to Europe took him on foot through Arabia to Egypt and Cairo. Oxenstierna so strongly inspired the explorer Sven Hedin that he wrote a biography of him (Resare-Bengt, 1921). - Some browning and dampstaining, with a small repaired hole to title-page. Extremely rare: not in the usual bibliographies of travel; OCLC records a single copy in library catalogues (Swedish Royal Library), to which KVK adds copies in Lund, Norrköping, Örebro, and Skokloster Castle. Hacklin, Olavus Laurelius (1896), p. 161f., no. 6. OCLC 937092162. Not in Weber, Henze, or Howgego.‎

‎The correspondence archive of Théogène François Page. Arabian Gulf, France, East Asia, Tahiti, Brasil, and elsewhere at sea, 1830s-1860s.‎

‎Mostly 8vo, a few items 4to and folio. 94 autograph letters (signed) by Page, 81 letters addressed to Page. - II: Copy book with 144 letters by Page to the Minister of the Navy and the Colonies, as well as to other officials, in his own handwritten transcript. 4to. Bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards. - III: Protocol of a hearing of the Suez Canal Company. 4to. (230) ff., numbered 190-425. Extensive correspondence archive kept by the prominent French naval commander during his voyages across the globe, from the Arabian Gulf to Madagascar, Rio de Janeiro, French Polynesia, China, Vietnam, and Japan. Crucially, the archive includes detailed official instructions for the first French diplomatic mission ever made to the Gulf, carried out under Page's command by the frigate La Favorite, which departed from Brest on 3 June 1841. The mission's importance is shown in perspective by a letter to Guy-Victor Duperré (1775-1846), Ministre de la Marine et des Colonies, wherein the French officials admit to their hitherto fruitless efforts to establish a relationship with the Gulf states: the writer discusses the difficulties experienced in installing a French consulate at Bushehr, while British efforts to establish themselves in the Gulf region have proved so successful. The letter emphasizes that the French interests in the region lie mainly in monitoring British advances: "Quant à nous, les tentatives que nous avons faites, à différentes reprises, pour établir des relations avec la Perse par le golfe, ont toujours été infructueuses. Le gouvernement du Roi [...] créa, l'année dernière, une agence consulaire à Buschir; mais les difficultés que ce projet a rencontrées de la part du gouvernement persan n'en ont pas permis l'execution, et les choses restent ce qu'elles ont été jusqu'à ce jour [...] Mais il ne saurait nous être indifférent d'y surveiller la marche et les agrandissements de l'Angleterre, et tel est le principal objet de l'apparition que doit y faire la corvette la Favorite sous le commandement de Mr. Page [...]". - Among other destinations, La Favorite is to visit Muscat, with which France has enjoyed previous relations, as they have managed to establish a consulate in the Sultanate of Zanzibar, which has proved useful in extending commercial relations with the Imam: "Il est, sur la route du golfe Persique, un point de la côte d'Arabie que la corvette la Favorite aura également à visiter. Je veux parler de Mascate, dont le souverain a entretenu autre fois des relations directes avec la France. L'Etablissement d'un consul à Zanzibar [...] ayant paru propre à favoriser l'extension du peu de rapports commerciaux que nous avons avec les états de l'Iman [...]". Finally, the writer mentions a developing interest in Abyssinia, referring to the 1839 expedition led by Théophile Lefebvre, that involved pearl fishing: "L'attention est eveillée en France, depuis quelques années, sur l'Abyssinie [...] Je n'ai pas besoin de rappeler ici la mission d'exploration confiée [...] à Mr. Lefêbvre [...] dans laquelle il a été accompagné par [...] un agent qu'une maison de commerce envoyait faire des essais sur la pêche des perles [...]". - Page's private correspondence includes 57 letters to his wife from China, Japan, and Vietnam, discussing such matters as his health, political subjects, and the atrocities of the Second Opium War of 1860, mentioning dispossessions and people fleeing their homes: "Ces pauvres gens me font pitié [...] La guerre entraine forcèment des misères sans nombre [...] Les alarmes qu'on répond, les menaces des anciens maîtres, les fuites, les démènagements, les dépossessions forcées [...] Je me sens mal à l'aise à la vue de toutes ces femmes qui pleurent prêt de leurs toits en débris [...]". Page also provides picturesque accounts of the scenery, including a striking comparison of Japan to Tierra del Fuego: "Ainsi que la terre de feu à l'extrémité méridianale de l'Amérique, le Japon semble avoir été jêté sur la flanc orientale du grand continent d'Asie sur le Pacifique par une dernière convulsion de notre globe". - Furthermore, the archive includes 23 amicable autograph letters by the naval officer and pilot of the "Artémise", Joseph-Eugène de Poucques d'Herbinghem (1807-1900), to Page, most of them written at Cherbourg: "Il faut un chirurgien pour l'artemise qui part pour trois ans. Les cinq ou six pelerins de la confrèrie [...] s'evaporent comme une volée d'etourneaux [...]". - The collection is topped off by 144 transcript letters, the bulk issued in Papeete, as well as a protocol of a hearing of the Suez Canal Company and the French constructor Alphonse Hardon, who had exceeded the costs agreed on, which subsequently led to the termination of his contract in 1862. Finally, a report on Mexico and Buenos Aires, several poems, notes on Henry Bird (born in 1767), who was captured by American natives in 1811, a short travelogue from La Habana, several pages entitled "Notes supplementaires", all in Page's handwriting, as well as a medical certificate, Page's death certificate, some pencil sketches, and a few more brief documents are loosely enclosed. - Extremities of the copy book somewhat rubbed; letters very well preserved. An impressive collection, containing rich material reflecting a high-ranking naval officer's private throughts on French foreign affairs and on his own role therein.‎
