GLORIOUS QURAN.
Le Coran. Traduction intégrale et notes de Muhammad Hamidullah. Préface de Louis Massignon. Avec la collaboration de Michel Leturmy. [HORS-COMMERCE NUMBERED EDITION for THE MEMBERS of LE CLUB FRANÇAIS DU LIVRE: 9499/10000].
Fine French Original decorative imitation full leather bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14cm). In French. [Lxv], 632, [7] p. Le Coran. Traduction intégrale et notes de Muhammad Hamidullah. Préface de Louis Massignon. Avec la collaboration de Michel Leturmy. Hamidllah, (1908-2002), D. Phil., D. Litt., HI, was a Muhaddith, Faqih, scholar of Islamic law and an academic author with over 250 books. A prolific writer, his extensive works on Islamic science, history and culture have been published in several languages and many thousands of articles in learned journals. His scholarship is regarded by many as unparalleled in the last century. A double doctorate (D.Phil. and D.Litt.) and a polymath, he was fluent in 22 languages including Urdu (his mother tongue), Persian, Arabic, French, English, German, Italian, Greek, Turkish, Russian etc. He learned Thai at the age of 84. Hamidullah is known for contributions to the research of Hadith history, translations of the Qur'an into multiple languages and in particular into French (first by a Muslim scholar) and for the monumental biography of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in French. He is also famous for discovering a missing work on the Prophet Muhammad regarded as one of his great contributions to the Hadith literature. The earliest Hadith manuscript still extant today, Sahifa Hammam bin Munabbah, was discovered in a Damascus library. Hammam bin Munabbah being a disciple of Sayyidina Abu Huraira, one of the Sahaba. Massignon, (1883-1962), was a Catholic scholar of Islam and a pioneer of Catholic-Muslim mutual understanding (Krokus 2012, p. 525). He was an influential figure in the twentieth century with regard to the Catholic church's relationship with Islam. He focused increasingly on the work of Mahatma Gandhi, whom he considered a saint. He also played a role in Islam being accepted as an Abrahamic Faith among Catholics. Some scholars maintain that his research, esteem for Islam and Muslims, and cultivation of key students in Islamic studies largely prepared the way for the positive vision of Islam articulated in the Lumen gentium and the Nostra aetate at the Second Vatican Council (Krokus 2012, p. 525). Although a Catholic himself, he tried to understand Islam from within and thus had a great influence on the way Islam was seen in the West; among other things, he paved the way for a greater openness inside the Catholic Church towards Islam as it was documented in the pastoral Vatican II declaration Nostra aetate. "This non-trade edition is reserved exclusively for members of the French Book Club. It includes ten thousand copies numbered from 1 to 10,000.". This is no. 9499. 9499/10000.

KEVIN SHEPHERD.
Meher Baba: An Iranian liberal (Intercultural Research Series of Anthropology No. 5).
Very Good Very Good English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. 303, [1] p. Minor stains on DJ and some pages. Otherwise a clean and very good copy. This is the first critical depth study of Meher Baba (1894-1969) to appear since his death in 1969. The author's approach is not sectarian, and throws new light upon events relating to the Iranian mystic. Part One gives a biographical overview. Part Two describes Meher Baba's teaching. Part Three affords a comparison with the Zoroastrian Kaivan school of the Mughal era. Part Four profiles critics and supporters of Meher Baba, and locates obscured data contradicting the well known dismissal by Paul Brunton. An annotated bibliography is also supplied. Meher Baba (Merwan Sheriar Irani; The Awakener), was an Indian spiritual master who claimed to be his era's Avatar, or God in human form. A major spiritual figure of the 20th century, he was the central figure around the "Meher Baba Movement", and estimates of his following range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions. His followers were concentrated in India, but with a significant number in the United States, Europe and Australia.

[JAPAN / MIDDLE EAST] Nichi-To shinzen eiyu no kinen = Türk Nippon dostlugunun sonrasiz hâtirasi Ertugrul =
Very Good Japanese Original cloth bdg. Demy 8vo. (22,5 x 16 cm). In Japanese and Turkish. 45, 59 p., 74 unnumbered pages of plates and ills. with tissue papers. Scarce Japanese and Turkish bilingual book published by the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Tokyo, during Hüsrev Gerede's (1886-1962) embassy in the 47th commemoration year of the sinking of the Ottoman frigate Ertugrul. This richly illustrated book includes a detailed historical account of the accident and sinking, with a map showing the cruise line that Ertugrul followed after she left Yokohama to return to Turkey, and the area of Kashinozaki Lighthouse, where she sank. Another map shows the area and its surrounding where the monument was erected in memory of Ertugrul. In addition to the 74 pages of plates showing presidents and dynasties of both countries, ministers in their cabinets, Ambassadors, as well as Ertugrul's making process, journey, and traditional commemoration ceremonies in Japan; a plan of the Martyrdom was added. The book was printed separately as paperback and hardcover, and the copy we have is a hard copy. Ertugrul, launched in 1863, was a sailing frigate of the Ottoman Navy. While returning from a goodwill voyage to Japan in 1890, she encountered a typhoon off the coast of Wakayama Prefecture, subsequently drifted into a reef, and sank. The shipwreck resulted in the loss of more than 500 sailors and officers, including Rear Admiral Ali Osman Pasha. Only 69 sailors and officers survived and returned home later aboard two Japanese corvettes. The event is still commemorated as a foundation stone of Japanese-Turkish friendship.

PARABAIK.
[MYANMAR / MANUSCRIPT / BUDDHISM / ASTROLOGY] [A long and richly illustrated parabaik in Pali written in Burmese round script].
Very Good Burmese Original dark brown leather with embossing on the front board with an initial-like symbol. The black script in ink with several pencil annotations on rectangular pieces of thick hand-made mulberry paper. Closed size: 38x12,5 cm. Open size: 550x38 cm. Text in Pali, written in Burmese "round" script, richly illustrated in red, black, white, and yellow from the most influential Buddhist and astrological texts of the region. Well-preserved and in very good condition. Extremely rare example of one of the longest and a richly illustrated parabaik from Burma, "reflecting an old system of Theravardan magical beliefs pertaining to Burma / Myanmar over 100 years ago". A highly collectible item from the pre-colonial period of the Konbaung dynasty, formerly known as the Alompra dynasty, the Third Burmese Empire, the last dynasty that ruled Burma/Myanmar from 1752 to 1885, Buddhist Myanmar. With its open size, it is extremely rare in length with 44 folds; "The longest one would have 64 folds" (Harvard online). The scenes might show episodes from the Buddhist folk tales popular in Burma towards the end of the 19th century including many ancient tables and ca. 40 specific depictions of Buddha's life, Buddhist practices, some historical scenes, and religious practices like sky burial scenes, etc, as well as astrological and astronomical chapters. Folding-book manuscripts (Parabaiks in Burmese) are a type of writing material historically used in Mainland Southeast Asia, particularly in the areas of present-day Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. The manuscripts are made of thick paper, usually of the Siamese rough bush (Khoi in Thai and Lao) tree or the paper mulberry, glued into a very long sheet and folded in a concertina fashion, with the front and back lacquered to form protective covers or attached to decorative wood covers. The unbound books are made in either white or black varieties, with the paper being undyed in the former and blackened with soot or lacquer in the latter. Along with paper made from bamboo and palm leaves, parabaik were the main medium for writing and drawing in early modern Burma/Myanmar.
