Amaral, José Rodrigues Coelho do, Portuguese Naval Minister (1808-1873).
Document signed. Lisbon, 7. III. 1868.
Folio (ca 350 x 225 mm). Portuguese manuscript on paper. 1 p. Very rare document of colonial history and the history of Portuguese and British abolitionism: a certificate of appointment of Carlos Eugenio Correa da Silva as Commissioner for the Prevention of the Slave Trade on the African West Coast. - In accordance with the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty on the Abolition of Slave Trade of 3 March 1842, Correa da Silva, commander of the brig "Pedro Nunes", was appointed by order of the Portuguese King as commissioner for the suppression of the slave trade on the African west coast ("encarregado de evitar o tráfico da escravatura na costa occidental de África") and was authorized to stop and search suspicious Portuguese and English ships ("para visitar e dar busca às embarcações mercantes portuguezas e inglezas que sejam suspeitas com fundamentos razoaveis de se empregarem em transportar negros para o fim de os reduzir a escravidão, ou de terem sido equipadas com esse intento, ou de terem assim sido empregadas durante a viagem [...] tudo na conformidade do tratado de 3 de Julho de 1842 concluido entre as coroas de Portugal e da Grã Bretanha, para a kompleta abolição do tráfico da escravatura, o qual tratado o mesmo Primeiro Tenente, Commandante do dito Brigue, deverá exactamente observar [...]"). - Includes: Instructions of the Naval Headquarters (ca. 385 x 240 mm, 3 pp.; spotty, small holes in margins) for Correa da Silva, issued by the General Commander of the Portuguese Navy, Francisco Visconde Soares Franco (1810-85), with instructions for the passage to Luanda, where Correa da Silva had to take over the "Estação Naval d'Angola" from the former Commander Caetano Alexandre de Almeida e Albuquerque (1824-1916, Governor of Cape Verde, Governor General of Angola and Portuguese India) in accordance with the guidelines for the prevention of the slave trade ("instruções ... relativos à supressão do tráfico da escravatura"). - Carlos Eugénio Correia da Silva, Count of Paço d'Arcos (1834-1905), a friend of King Luis I of Portugal, whom he succeeded as commander of the brig "Pedro Nunes", later became commander of the Portuguese Navy, governor general of Portuguese India, Macao and Mozambique, as well as civil governor of Lisbon and was the first Portuguese ambassador to Brazil. He had already recommended himself for this position in 1864 by the capture of the Spanish slave trader "Virgen del Refugio". The Anglo-Portuguese treaty to abolish the slave trade was signed on 3 July 1842 by the Portuguese foreign minister, the Duke of Palmela, and the British ambassador Baron Howard de Walden, and Portugal subsequently made great efforts to implement this treaty.

Qui la storia antica esercita una profonda influenza nel mitigare la maniera in cui le tecnologie e gli atteggiamenti di questo secolo ventesimo vengono accolti, interpretati e utilizzati. Qui religione e nazionalismo convergono nella societ? verso un punto ottimale di sentimenti comuni e di valori condivisi. Qui il lungo nastro di un fiume unisce caratteristiche geografiche disparate, legando le montagne al mare e i deserti alle verdi e fertili pianure...

Amira, Georgius Michaelis.
[Grammatiqi suraya aw kaldayata (...)]. Grammatica Syriaca, sive Chaldaica. Rome, Giacomo Luna, Tipografia Medicea Orientale (in Typographia Linguarum externarum), 1596.
4to. (44), 480 pp. Contemporary limp vellum with ms. spine title. First - and likely only - edition. The first large-scale Syriac grammar, the third ever written (following those of Caninius, 1554, and Widmanstetter, 1555). Composed by the Maronite priest Jiris Ibn Mikha'il ibn 'Amira, it was printed by the Maronite scholar Ya'qub ibn Hilal (Giacomo Luna), who worked at the Medicean Press under Raimondi and was responsible for the Arabic and Syriac publications issued between 1590 and 1594. In 1595 he started printing on his own, and possibly took over some of the types of the Vatican Press. The work is listed as a Propaganda Press imprint ("olim typis nostris impressi") in Amadatius's 1773 "Catalogus", which shows the continuity that was felt to exist between the Medicean Press, the intermediate stage of Luna and Stephanus Paulinus, and the Propaganda Press. In the preface Raimondi is mentioned as the instigator of the work. - The 24 pt Syriac "serto" types were cut in 1590 by Jean Cavaillon for the Medicean Press. In the beginning a Syriac alphabet is presented, in three different scripts: "estrangelo" (this word possibly here used for the first time), "serto", and a Nestorian script possibly in type. This Nestorian script, a cursive form of estrangelo, is introduced here for the first time. In 1633 a slightly different type-face was used for Bellarmino's Catechism. - Some browning and brownstaining throughout, as common; the first few quires loosened. 18th century library stamps to title page; bookplate of Flavio Camillo Borghese, Prince of Sulmona (1902-80), on pastedown. Quite rare; a second edition, supposedly produced in 1645 (cf. Nasrallah, p. 10), is not attested in libraries. Edit 16, CNCE 1541. Adams A 965. BM-STC Italian 356 (s. v. "Jiris"). Brunet I, 231. Zenker, p. 132, no. 1534. Smitskamp, PO 184. Vater/Jülg 388. Nestle 13. Duverdier, Impressions, 198. OCLC 7238840.

Anderson Scott
Lawrence in Arabia: War Deceit Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East
New York New York USA: Anchor/Random House 2014. Paperback. As New/No Jacket. Trade Paperback in Near Fine Condition. Clean unmarked tight and solid volume gently used if at all. Military history researched in depth and at the center was Lawrence 1888-1935 himself. The Arab revolt against the Turks during WW I was a conflict shaped in large measure by a small handful of adventurers and low-level officers--Lawrence called it a "sideshow of a sideshow". Lawrence had been an archaeologist in 1914 excavating ruins in Syria--by 1917 he was becoming a legend at the head of an Arab army fighting a rearguard action against his own government and its imperial ambitions. And the author examines the complex politics of an era and how the modern Middle East was formed. 577 pages with Notes Bibliography and Index. 6.2 x 9.25 inches.

Angèlio da Barga (Bargaeus), Pietro.
[Syrias.] Hierosolyma hoc est expeditio illa celeberrima Christianorum principum, qua Goffredo Bulione duce à Turcarum tyrannide Hierusalem liberatur. Florence, Giovanni Donato, Bernardino Giunta, & Soc., 1616.
4to. (26), 496, (2) pp. With woodcut printer's device to t. p. and several historiated initials. Contemporary limp vellum with ms. spine title "Carmina Barge". Epic poem on the events of the first crusade (1486-99), led by Godfrey of Bouillon. The work was written at almost the same time as Tasso's like-themed "Gerusalemme Liberata": while this is the first edition under the title "Hierosolyma", it was actually already published in Paris in 1582 (bks. 1-2) and 1584 (bks. 3-4), then in Rome in 1585 (bks. 1-6), and finally, in all 12 books, separately in 1591 under the title "Syrias" (cf. Brunet I, 288). Petrus Angelus Bargaeus (1517-92) was a scholar and professor at the universities of Pisa and Rome. - Rather strong brownstaining, occasional waterstaining. Some contemporary underlining and ms. line-numbers supplied throughout. OCLC locates single copy in America (Houghton Library, Harvard). BMC 5:448. NUC 16.619. Bruni/Evans 232. OCLC 82107113. Cf. Brunet I, 288.
