ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.‎

‎Première édition, publiée à titre posthume. Elle est illustrée de 4 planches lithographiées dépliantes (frontispice montrant le nouvel uniforme des troupes égyptiennes, 2 plans dont celui de La Mecque et une carte de l'Arabie dressée par l'auteur). L'auteut fit parti des quelques officiers français qui accompagnèrent en Égypte le général Boyer chargé, à la demande de Méhémet-Ali, de réformer l'armée. Il séjourna cinq années au Caire (de 1824 à 1829) en qualité de chef d'état-major au service du pacha d'Égypte. Son ouvrage est rédigé sous forme de lettres addressées au député Alexandre de Laborde, membre du comité philhellène. Elles dressent un tableau de la nouvelle armée égyptienne, des conditions de sa formation, et traitent également des campagnes contre les Wahebis et de la guerre d'indépendence de la Grèce (à laquelle il n'a pas participé mais dont il donne le point de vue égyptien). Bel exemplaire. Légères rousseurs. Blackmer, 1320. — Hage Chahine, 3760. — Ibrahim-Hilmy, II, 122.‎

‎Edidit Thomas Pell Platt A.M., 1 vol. petit in-4 reliure de l'époque pleine basane marron estampée à froid, impression en deux couleurs, Impensis Societatis Ad Biblia sacra in Britannia et apud exteras gentes evulganda Institutae, Impressit Ricardus Watts [Richard Watts ], Londini [ Londres, London ], 1829, [-]2, B-Z4 2A-2Q4, 2R2, B*-Z*4, AA*-ZZ*4, AAA*-DDD*4, DDD**4.‎

‎Très rare exemplaire de la première traduction du Nouveau Testament en Amharique. Le consul français au Caire, Jean Louis Asselin de Cherville, avait élaboré durant 10 années cette traduction avec le secours d'Abu Rumi (l'ancien traducteur de l'explorateur James Bruce). Il n'existait auparavant que des traductions partielles en amharique, et la bible éthiopienne existait seulement en langue Ge'ez. Le manuscrit en fut acquis par William Jowett au bénéfice de la British and Foreign Bible Society. Le présent exemplaire est parfaitement conforme à la collation indiquée par Fumagalli dans sa Bibliografia Etiopica, 1384 : "Questo Nuovo Testamento si compono dei Vangeli del 1824 e degli altri liberi stampati nel 1829. Il volume ha il seguente registro : da B a 2R (fine dei Vangeli), da B* a DDD*, piu la segn. DDD*** e i due frontesp. latino ed amarico. Il quad. 2R non ha che due carte". La reliure d'origine est conservée, mais a été renforcée à l'adhésif. Hormis un très petit travail de vers marginal en début d'ouvrage, le texte est d'une fraîcheur remarquable. The first complete New Testament published in Amharic. The translator, Abu Rumi, was an Abyssinian monk. He was helped by M. Asselin de Cherville, French consul in Cairo. The editor was P. T. Platt, (1798-1852), librarian of the British and Foreign Bible Society, assisted by Samuel Lee, professor of Arabic at Cambridge. They bought the manuscript of the Bible for 1250.00 £.

‎DESCRIPTION DE L'EGYPTE. Botanique. Artemisia monosperma, Artemisia inculta, Atremisia judaica. (Histoire Naturelle, planche 43)‎

‎- Imprimerie Impériale, Paris 1809-1829, 71x54cm, une feuille. - Original, unshaved, full-page etching from the "Imperial edition" of the Description de l'Égypte, or 'Recueil des observations et recherches faites en Égypte pendant l'expédition française, publié par les ordres de Sa Majesté l'Empereur Napoléon le Grand [A Collection of the observations and research carried out in Egypt during the French expedition, published on the orders of his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon the Great]'. Produced between February 1802 and 1830 on the orders of Naopleon Bonaparte and published between 1809 and 1828, 1,000 copies were printed and distributed to institutions, on vergé paper with an 'Égypte ancienne et moderne' watermark, visible when held up to the light. Light marginal spotting not touching image, otherwise in very fresh, fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte, one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799, the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates, of which 72 colored, as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The 'Egyptian campaign', militarily a disaster, demonstrates, through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte, the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte [Egyptian Institute] who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge, the chemist Berthollet, the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists, engineers, architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants. This edition, the so-called "Imperial" edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats, two of which were specially created for it and christened "Moyen-Egypte" and "Grand-Egypte". A special press was built to print it, the process extending over 20 years, from 1809 to 1829. The "Imperial" edition proved so popular that a second edition, this time in black and white and without the "Egypte ancienne et moderne" watermark - known as the "Royal Edition" - was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke (Paris). The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon, illustrator, diplomat, collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon (the Louvre). His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there, thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte. Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51, reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte, the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté (brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, author of Roses), the mineralogist Dolomiue, and the draughtsman Joly, Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When, however, he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798, he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself, he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed "a country that is, apart from its name, entirely unknown to Europeans, and therefore everything was worth describing" (Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant le‎
