Stein, M Aurel, Dr
Explorations in Central Asia 1906–1908. On title: Separat-Abdruck aus den “Földrajzi Közlemények†Band XXXVII. Heft 5–7.
Budapest: S.n. 1909. First English separate edition. Text in English. In publisher’s printed wrappers. Wrappers restored. Pages with traces of creasing. Otherwise in very good condition. First English separate edition. Text in English. In publisher’s printed wrappers. 28 p. <p><br /> First English separate edition of Stein’s report on his second major expedition to Central Asia between 1906 and 1908.<br /> <p><p><br /> The text is the translation of the paper Stein read at the Hungarian Geographical Society on April 23 and 26 1909 as it is stated on the first page. Although it reads on the cover in German that this is a separate offprint it is misleading because in “Földrajzi Közlemények†the paper was published in Hungarian supposedly the cover title of the Hungarian edition was – by mistake – also translated and for some reason not into English but German. <br /> <p><p><br /> The first English journal edition with slightly different text is the one in Geographical Journal for July and September 1909 which is the text of Stein’s lecture to the Royal Geographical Society meeting of 8 March 1909.<br /> <p><p><br /> Sir Marc Aurél Stein 1862–1943 was a Hungarian born British archaeologist mainly concerned with exploring ancient Central Asia. Member of “The Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire†as Knight Commander KCIE and Fellow of British Academy. He made four major expeditions to Central Asia in 1900 1906–1908 1913–1916 and 1930. His greatest discovery was made at Mogao Caves also known as “Caves of the Thousand Buddhas†near Dunhuang in 1907. The Stein collection mostly manuscripts and other relics has been placed in the British Library the British Museum and partly to the Srinagar Museum and the National Museum in New Delhi.<br /> <p>.

INNERMOST ASIA: Detailed Report of Explorations in Central Asia Kan-su & Easter
London 1928 Oxford. Rose cloth 4 vol. set: vol. 1-2 text vol. 3 plates & plans vol. 4 maps bibliography unclipped mended dust jackets in mylar protectors 25.5 x 34 cm. brilliantly bright superb clean copy. FIRST & ONLY EDITION . . . FIRST & ONLY LIMITED EDITION OF 765 SETS . A monumental work well-illustrated study on the trade route countries of Central Asia. Always a rare set when complete. . "With descriptive lists of antiques by F.H. Andrews & F.M.G. Lorimer; & appendices by J. Allan et al." Volume 1 2: text 1159 pages with text illustrations. Vol. 3: 137 plates 59 plans. Vol. 4: 51 color folding maps in matching rose cloth case with index tabs. . M. AUREL STEINS PERSONAL COPY: This is a very nice copy which was likely owned by the author as his personal letter was found used as a book mark in one of the volumes. The letter is 19 x 25.5 cm. plain toned white paper written by Sir Aurel Stein using a very wide fountain pen and blue ink. The letter is in remarkable condition and has been folded twice but now is quite flat and solid. . WITH A VERY RARE HOLOGRAPHIC LETTER FROM AUREL STEIN: "At Highbroom Ewhurst Guilford: February 15 1925 Dear Sirs Thanks for your letter of the 9th inst. and the account rendered with it. I note in the account of entry of 10/6 charged for the Return of Income Tax for the years 1922-3 and 1923-4. As I was absent from the United Kingdom during the whole of these financial years no Income Tax was due from the royalties received in these years on my behalf. I accordingly request the favour of an explanation as to how this charge arises against my account and hope for a refund of the amount. Yours faithfully A. Stein" . Perhaps Aurel Stein got his reply from the Income Tax office and or this was a copy of his letter. It was found lost as a "book mark" found in this set. A lovely insight to Stein and his thoughts on how the British government had wrongly charged him Income Tax. A lovely holographic letter written in pen and ink in his usual and steady hand. Stein letters are rare and seldom found on the market. . FIRST & ONLY LIMITED EDITION OF 765 COPIES. We understand that this set was issued in a Limited Edition of only 765 complete copies the balance of 250 sets were incomplete as they lacked 48 maps. . THE MAPS AND MAP BOX VOLUME: The matching map box is also in bound in rose cloth 25.5 x 34 cm. and is 5 cm. thick. There is some minor and usual wear to the upper and lower part of the hinged flap with some old mends. The contents consist of 47 maps each with white index tabs plus 4 other maps index tabs: "ABCD" and the index complete as issued. . CONDITION: . Bound in the publisher's cloth as issued. . This is the brightest and freshest copy we have ever had in our 45 years of tenure. The cloth of the main three volumes is nearly flawless with bright rose color brilliant gold stamping on the spines and front covers. There is no scuffing whatsoever and the head/tails of the spines are fresh with a few of the usual wrinkles expected. The joints are strong tight and the book appears to be by and large unused. There are a few bumped corners: vol. 1: the front upper right corner has a very small bump; vol. 2: faint and very tiny hint of a bump on front lower right else none; vol. 3: front right and left and rear corners tiny bump front lower right a larger bump please see scans posted to our website for photographs. . DUST JACKETS: The set of three volumes all have the original dust jackets each protected in Mylar covers. There was some of the usual wear to the unprotected dust jackets and some restoration with matching paper was performed from the inside to stabilize the tears and small missing pieces. Overall the jackets are nice with some repairs to the upper and lower spine as well as corners and a few other spots here and there. Finding this set with the dust jacket is exceptionally rare and unusual. The set if ever found most always lacks the dust jackets. . . BIBLIOGRAPHY: . Stein 1862-1943. Arntzen I 506. . unknown

Stein, Marc Aurel, 1862-1943
Xiyu kao gu tu ji = Detailed Report of Explorations in Westernmost China
Guangxi Guilin Shi: Guangxi shi fan da xue chu ban she 1998. Di 1 ban. Hardcover. Near Fine. 5 volumes 4 text and one unbound map portfolio. Original cloth. 43cm. Volume 5 the map portfolio contains 96 unbound maps with overlays -- 94 of the maps are numbered 1-94; the other two are unnumbered. This tied portfolio is housed in a cloth slipcase matching the text volumes in color and approximate size. The whole set is contained in a tied folding portfolio. Shipping weight for this folio-sized set is probably about 55 lbs 25 kilos. Chinese text. This massive set is the Chinese translation of Stein's massive and most sought-after work "Serindia. Detailed Report of Explorations in Central Asia and Westernmost China." which was published in 1921. Stein is often regarded in China as little more than an opportunistic Western looter of China's ancient manuscripts and archeological treasures so it is probably not surprising that it took 77 years for a Chinese translation to be published.
