‎Gunpowder and Firearms in the Mamluk Kingdom : a challenge to a medieval Society‎

‎London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited 1978. The introduction of firearms into the Muslim world is a subject which few scholars have ventured to scrutinise in detail. In this work therefore Professor Ayalon has sought to fill this gap on the basis of material supplied by chroniclers of the Mamluk Kingdom. Having established the first certain date when the Mamluks used gunpowder the author devotes some attention to fixing the meaning of technical terms. The main part of the work however is dedicated to the fascinating study of the human aspect of the problem: how the highly organized and stylised world of Mamluk chivalry displayed a bitter resentment towards the new weapon which it so rightly saw as a threat to its whole way of life. Not only is this study an important contribution to the highly specialised field with which it deals but for the less specialized historian the analysis of the role which firearms play in establishing the destiny of the Middle East is full of interest. For the general reader too conscious of the unhappiness which the new and terrible weapons of our own time have sown among professional soldiers the world over there are numerous fascinating parallels in the story which Dr. Ayalon unfolds. 154pp inc index etc. A LOVELY COPY FINE MEANS FINE!

‎Georgia in Antiquity : A History of Colchis and Transcaucasian Iberia, 550 BC-AD 562‎

‎Hardcover, 359 pages, ENG, 240 x 160 x 27 mm, dustjacket, in perfect condition, with illustrations in b/w. ISBN 9780198144731. The first full history of ancient Georgia ever to be written outside Georgia itself, this book also serves as a valuable introduction to the substantial archaeological work that has been carried out there in recent decades. Designed to open up ancient Georgia for the world of scholarship at large, it is not only a history of a neglected region, but also a sustained attempt to inform topics and issues that are more familiar to the historians of antiquity. Examples include myths of the periphery; Caucasian mountains and their passes; Greek colonization; the Persian, Athenian, and Selecuid empires; Pompey's conquest of Mithridates' empire; the development of the Roman frontier in the eastern Black Sea region; Roman diplomacy in Iberia; the Christianization of Iberia; Sassanian ambitions in Transcaucasia; and Byzantine warfare there.‎

‎Water Management in Gerasa and its Hinterland. From the Romans to AD 750‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, xxxviii + 522 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:416 b/w, 6 col., 40 tables b/w., 59 maps b/w, 4 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503598628.‎

‎Summary The Decapolis city of Gerasa has seen occupation since the Bronze Age but reached its zenith in the Roman to early Islamic period as a population centre and trading hub. Located in a fertile valley in the limestone foothills of the Ajlun mountains, the city bene?tted from a benign climate and an excellent local water supply from karstic springs and perennial streams. By the Roman-Early Byzantine period, these water sources were harnessed and managed by extensive aqueduct and distribution networks that satis?ed the broad range of water needs of both urban and rural dwellers. This volume offers an up-to-date, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary analysis of the water management system employed in both Gerasa and its hinterland from the time of Roman occupation to the devastating earthquakes that struck the city at the end of the Umayyad period. Drawing on archaeological evidence from the author's ?eld research, together with a critical and detailed analysis of the evidence of water installations and the results of a radiocarbon dating study, this insightful book offers the ?rst diachronic interpretation of Gerasa's water distribution, setting the city in its geoarchaeological, historical, and landscape contexts, and contributing to the broader understanding of its archaeological history.‎

‎Twenty Years in Tibet [Hardcover]‎

‎Born of a Scottish father and mother of a Sikkimese descent, the author spent the early years of his life in Darjeeling and had his schooling there in the course of which he ultimately mastered Tibetan, Bengali, Bhutanese, Sikkimese, Lepcha, Hindi and Nepali. He joined the Vaccination Deptt. under the Govt. of Bengal and his duties entailed his making regular tours of the villages in the Darjeeling Distt. The 12 years that the author thus spent gave him a comprehensive insight into the manners and customs, and everyday lives, of the peasantry of this part in the Himalayas. In 1904 Col. Waddek took him as his assistant in collecting for the Govt. of India the largest and most complete collection of Tibetan sacred and lay books ever brought to India or Europe. This was during the Younghusband’s Mission to Lhasa. From 1905 to 1925 the author was appointed the British Trade Agent in Tibet. The work of the author covers a period of unusual activity and special interest on the North-East Frontier of India. It includes Col. Younghusband’s Mission to Lhasa in 1904, the flight of the Dalai Lama in 1910, his return to Lhasa in 1912, and many other incidents of lesser importance. It has been out-of-print for a long time now and we have therefore reprinted it in a limited edition for the benefit of the scholars of Tibetan studies. About The Author:- David Macdonald is an eminent author and is well-conversant with Tibetan language and customs. Having spent two decades in Tibet as British Trade Agent from 1905 to 1925, he gained the expertise of several languages, viz., Bhutanese, Sikkimese Bengali, Lepcha, Nepali and Hindi. He was responsible for a massive collection of Tibetan sacred books which now enrich the collections of the British and Indian museum libraries. A witness to historic Younghusband’s Mission to Lhasa, flight of the Dalai Lama in 1910 and his restoration after two years, Macdonald had academic links, with Sikkim Gazetteer, the Linguistic Survey of India and Tibetan Translation of the New Testament.
