Niebuhr, Carsten.
Voyage en Arabie & en d'autres Pays circonvoisins. Tome premier (-second). Traduit de l'Allemand. Amsterdam & Utrecht, S. J. Baalde & Barthelemy Wild, 1775-1780.
4to. 2 vols. VIII, (6), 409, (1) pp. VI, (10), 389, (1) pp. With 2 engraved titles (in counted prelims.), 124 engraved plates (many folding), and folding map of Yemen (in partial colour). Contemp. full calf with gilt cover borders and giltstamped labels in red and green to fully gilt spine. Marbled endpapers. All edges red. First French edition, translated from the German ("Reisebeschreibung nach Arabien und anderen umliegenden Ländern", 1774) by F. L. Mourier. Title pages are dated 1776-80; colophones dated 1775-79. The famous account of the Royal Danish Expedition (1761-67) to the Middle East, Egypt, Persia and India, the first scientific expedition to this area. Niebuhr's "work on Arabia was the first European attempt at a complete account of Arabia, its people and their way of life. He amassed a vast quantity of factual information which he relates in a simple unrhetorical fashion, distinguishing clearly between things observed personally and things learned from others. The expedition, which lasted six years, was sponsored by the Danish king, and included the brilliant Swedish scientist, Peter Forsskal, who died while in Yemen" (Cat. Sotheby‘s, 13 Oct 98, lot 1010). Of the five scientists, Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) was the sole survivor, and his work represents an important contribution to the study of the Middle East. His map of the Yemen, the first exact map of the area ever, remained the standard for the next 200 years. - Old stamps erased from title pages (leaving insignificant waterstain), otherwise a perfect set in immaculate original French bindings.

Nielson Leslie; Beard Henry
Leslie Nielson's Stupid Little Golf Book
New York: Doubleday. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. 0.7 x 7.1 x 5.1 Inches. 144 pages. To movie audiences worldwide Leslie Nielsen is best known as Lieutenant Frank Drebin the zany hero of the hilarious <I>Naked Gun</I> films. But to duffers around the globe he has long been famous for a different role as the World's Greatest Bad Golfer -- the Guru of Bad Golf. Now working with humorist and fellow hacker Henry Beard Nielsen has drawn on a lifetime of brilliantly uninspired play to produce the unique collection of useless wisdom spurious reminiscences and pointless tips that is the<I> Stupid Little Golf Book</I>. Painstakingly fabricated to look like the result of years of study of the game of golf the <I>Stupid Little Golf Book</I> contains no dopey drills no mind-game mumbo jumbo no swing-wrecking instruction. Just simple common-sense advice on how to needle wheedle weasel wangle chisel finagle connive and fudge your way to victory on the links interspersed with hear-twarming tales of duplicity chicanery mendacity and truly deplorable sportsmanship. Covering everything from fundamentals such as the grip "always hold the club at the thin end where that length of rubber stuff is and not the end that has that curvy metal or wooden thing with the number on it" to A Foolproof Way to Knock at Least Six Strokes off Your Score "skip the last hole" this is finally a golf book for the rest of us by the man who put fun back into the game of golf. Leslie Nielsen is one of the funniest and most popular actors of our time. He has appeared in leading roles in innumerable films and is world-renowned as the lovable star of the phenomenally successful <I>Naked Gun</I> movies. Leslie Nielsen is of course the World's Only Professional Bad Golfer whose many memorable awful shots have made him an integral part of the rich history of the game. Shots like "The Shank Heard Round the World" which ended the aptly named sudden-death playoff at Pebble Beach; the amazing "hole-in-none" 167-yard gimme on the short par-3 at Glen Abbey; and the unforgettable 440-yard drive to the green on the Road Hole at St. Andrews with the cart in reverse the entire way. Nielsen has drawn on a lifetime of less-than-stellar play to produce the<I>Stupid Little Golf Book</I>. Here at last is a golf book that truly lives up to its name. Henry Beard was a founder of <I>National Lampoon</I> and the magazine's editor during its heyday in the 1970s. He is the author of several bestselling humor books including <I>Golfing: A Duffer's Dictionary</I> <I>Mulligan's Laws</I> and <I>The Official Exceptions to the Rules of Golf</I>. .

Nizami, Nizam al-Din Abu Muhammad.
The Secander Nama of Nizami. With a selection from the works of the most celebrated commentators by Beder Ali & Mir Hosain Ali. Calcutta, Hindoostanee press, P. Pereira, 1812.
Small folio (238 x 303 mm). (2), 638, (2) pp. Modern half calf with red and green gilt spine labels, bound in 19th century style. First printed edition of the celebrated Islamic biography of Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) by the Persian poet Nizami, completed ca. 599/1202. Published under the auspices of Sir Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, the First Earl of Minto (1751-1814), and printed in Persian throughout but for the English title. - "The Alexander of the Persian romances is much more colorful than his Western counterpart [...] Nizami celebrates him first as a king and conqueror, then as a sage and a prophet. In 'Iskandarnamah', in addition to being a zealous Moslem, Alexander becomes an ardent lover with numerous wives and concubines" (Southgate, "Portraits of Alexander in Persian Alexander-Romances of the Islamic Era"). - Islamic myths about Alexander the Great are thought to have derived in part from Qur'anic references to the "Dhu'l-Qarnayn" ("He of the Two Horns") as well as from the Greek sources in translation. "The principal episodes of the legend of Alexander, as known to the Muslim tradition, are elaborated in the [Eskander-nama]: the birth of Alexander, his succession to the Macedonian throne, his war against the Negroes who had invaded Egypt, the war with the Persians, ending with the defeat and death of Dara and Alexander's marriage to Dara's daughter, his pilgrimage to Mecca. Nezami then dwells at some length on Alexander's stay in the Caucasus and his visit to Queen Nushaba of Barda'a and her court of Amazons; this lady takes over the role of Candace in earlier versions of the Alexander saga. Alexander then goes to India and China. During his absence the Rus (i.e., the Russian Vikings) invade the Caucasus and capture Barda'a (as they in fact did some two centuries before Nezami's time) and take Nushaba prisoner. Alexander's wars with the Rus, which are depicted at considerable length, end with his victory and his magnanimous treatment of the defeated army. The [Eskander-nama] concludes with the account of Alexander's unsuccessful search for the water of immortal life" (Encylopaedia Iranica, Vol. VIII, pp. 612-614). Along the way Alexander's conquests of much of Central Asia and the pre-Islamic world are described: Dara (Syria), Ajam (near Kuwait), Kayan (Afghanistan), the Arabian Peninsula, Khorasan (Northern Iran), and so on. - Ca. 20 pages with wormholes affecting some text, wide margins. Some browning throughout. Discarded and sold from the Library of Haverford College, Pennsylvania, with their drystamp to the title-page. Later in the Alexander the Great Collection of Julio Berzunza (1896-1952), Professor of Languages at the University of New Hampshire. Graesse IV, 680. Brunet IV, 83; Ebert 14833 ("1811" in error). Nawabi 414. OCLC 41609907.

Norie, John William / [Wilson, Charles].
A Chart of the Indian Ocean, Drawn from the Best Authorities, by J. W. Norie. A New Edition, 1844. Additions 1852. London, [Norie & Wilson], 1852.
Partially engraved sea chart, 1 sheet of 6 sheets only. 940 x 675 mm. Updated 1852 edition of Norie's very rare and monumental sea chart of the Indian Ocean, one of the 19th century's greatest works of maritime cartography. The present sheet embraces the southern coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, including the coasts of Oman, Yemen, and much of the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, up as far as Yanbu, including the Jeddah-Mecca area. In Africa the chart includes the coasts of Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, and Tanzania, while the Seychelles appear within the Indian Ocean itself. The quality of the hydrography and engraving is exquisite. The antecedent chart of the present work was first issued by William Heather in 1799 but was re-engraved and dramatically updated in 1833 by Heather's successor J. W. Norie. The present edition was issued by Norie's successor firm, Norie & Wilson, featuring the latest updates. - Pronounced staining and crackling with minor loss to middle of left blank margin, some light staining in other areas, some short tears emanating from the margins; some offsetting in lower part of chart. Altogether well preserved. Cf. OCLC 498106078 (1833 edition).

Numan, Alexander.
Waarnemingen omtrent de horzel-maskers, welke in de maag van het paard huisvesten. Amsterdam, C. G. Sulpke, 1834.
4to. (2), 143, (1) pp. With 6 hand-coloured engraved plates (1 folding, 5 full-page) by D. Sluyter after H. van Oort. Contemporary stiff grey wrappers. Rare separate issue of Numan's detailed and beautifully illustrated study of the larvae of the equine botfly (family Oestridae), an internal parasite of horses. Alexander Numan (1780-1852) discusses the different species of botfly found in the stomachs of horses, the way the eggs are transferred to the intestines, their growth and development, the effect on the health of the host animal, and the various ways they may be removed. The essay appeared both in the Nieuwe Verhandelingen der eerste klasse van het Koninklijk-Nederlandse Instituut van Wetenschappen, and in the present, much rarer separate issue, where only the plates refer to the journal. - Numan completed his medical studies at Groningen in 1804. He wrote a prize-winning essay on the Keil dysentery epidemic of 1810, which appeared in 1812. In the same year he was asked to translate a veterinary manual and later to write his own, which went through five editions from 1819 to 1856. When the first Dutch veterinary school opened at Utrecht in 1821, no suitable professor could be found in the practice, and the position went to Numan. He went on to write many excellent articles, the best known of which discusses cow pox (1831). - Wrappers slightly damaged at spine, but still very good. A fine copy of a rare and well-illustrated essay by a pioneering veterinary researcher. KVK (1 copy). NCC (4 copies). Not in Garrison/M., Landwehr Coloured Plates, Nissen ZBI.

Nunes, Pedro.
Salacie[n]sis, de crepusculis liber unus, nu[n]c rece[n]s & natus et editus. [Including:] Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Mu'Adh [title-page: Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham)]. De causis crepusculorum liber unus, à Gerardo Cremonensi iam olim Latinita te donatus, nunc vero omniu[m] primum in lucem editus. Lisbon, Ludovicus Rodericus, (January 1542).
4to. (73), (1 blank) ff. With woodcut allegorical and architectural title-page with putti and mythological women holding drapes hanging from an arch and the Royal Portuguese coat of arms at the foot, 40 woodcut (geometrical and optical) figures in text, Rodericus's large full-page emblematic woodcut printer's device (a dragon with the motto "Salus vitae" on a banderole) and many woodcut initials. Bound in a period-style Italian calf binding, gold-tooled spine, blind-tooled frames on front and back boards and gold-tooled centerpieces on the front and back board with "Petri Nonii" on the front board and "MDXLII" on the back board. First edition of two of the most important and rarest scientific works on twilight and optics. The first is written by the greatest Portuguese mathematician Pedro Nunez (1492-1577), who served as cosmographer royal to the court of João III. His "De crepusculis" discusses new solutions for problems concerning twilight (such as the shortest twilight period) and the refraction of light, and announces his new instrument for measuring exceedingly small angles, now called a “nonius”. - The second work, also entitled "De crepusculis", was written (according to the title-page) by the greatest Islamic physicist Ibn Al-Haytham (965-1039), from living in the Arabian Peninsula, whose seminal work on optics broke with ancient Greek theories. In fact, the work is now attributed to the great Andalusian father of spherical trigonometry, the 11th-century mathematician and astronomer Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Mu’adh, who was described by Averroës as "advanced and high-ranking" (Sabra, p. 85), but about whom very little is known. His work discusses the density of the atmosphere and establishes a relationship between atmospheric pressure and altitude. It also notes that twilight only ceases or begins when the sun reaches 19 degrees below the horizon. It was translated from Arabic into Latin by Gerard de Cremona (1114-87), who brought Arabic science to the West. This work is one of the artifacts through which Islamic civilisation made significant and crucial contributions to scientific knowledge in the pre-modern age during their golden age of Arabic science, although the Latin translations in this field only provide "a dim reflection of the true splendour of achievements" (Gerli, p. 804). - With an owner's inscription at the head of the title-page and a handwritten impressum on the title-page in the same hand, three faint library stamps (two of a library in Douai) and with marks of an erased bookplate on the front pastedown. Binding very slightly worn around the spine, some small stains on the endpapers, but otherwise a beautiful copy in very good condition. Adams N 375. DSB X, 160f. Honeyman 2353. Houzeau/Lancaster 1188 & 2473. King Manuel 48. Palau 196.748. Poggendorff II, 305. Sabra, "The authorship of the Liber de crepusculis", in: Isis 58.1 (1967), pp. 77-85. Stilwell 781 & 863. Cf. Carmody, Arabic Astronomical and Astrological Sciences in Latin Translation; Gerli, Medieval Iberia (2003), p. 804. Not in Vagnetti.
