ERGUN ÖZBUDUN.
Regime changes and transitions in Arab Spring Countries.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. 149 p. "This book is based on the papers presented at the "International Workshop on Democratic and Constitutional Transitions in the Middle East," organized by Istanbul Sehir University on 11-12 May 2012. The Arab uprisings have been analyzed in detail in this volume along with the questions below: How to explain the sudden eruption of the uprisings? Are they protests without sufficient organization to overthrow the authoritarian systems? Is the discourse of protest Arab-specific or does it touch on apparently universal values of liberalism, democracy, participation, and human security? What is this "democratic transition" that inspired the Arab awakenings, when "democracy" can mean so many different things to people? What kind of a state and economic system will these countries have? Is Islam compatible with different forms of government? Can Turkey serve as a model for the democratizing Arab countries?".

Arabiae linguae tyrocinium. Id est, [...] grammatica arabica. Cum varia praxios materia, cuius elenchum versa dabit pagella. Leiden, Jean Maire, 1656.
4to. (12), 282 pp. Title printed in red and black with large engraving. - (Bound with) II: Sennert, Andreas. Arabismus, h. e. praecepta arabicae linguae [...]. Wittenberg, Fincelius, 1666. (8), 166 pp. - (Bound with) III: The same. [Mi'a Matal]. Centuria proverbiorum arabicorum. Ibid., 1658. (24) pp. Contemporary vellum with ms. title to spine. I: Third, most encompassing edition of the first scientific Arabic grammar written by a European scholar. Erpenius had published his "Grammatica Arabica" in 1613, having completed it four years earlier while staying in Paris with Casaubon. A second edition appeared in 1636 - edited by Anton Deusing, a pupil of Golius - adding the fables of Lokman and Arabic proverbs earlier edited by Erpenius. The present edition was edited by Golius himself, Erpenius's successor to the chair of Arabic. Repeating Deusing's 1636 edition, it now adds a modest Arabic chresthomathy previously edited by Golius's pupil Fabricius. This copy includes the cancel-slip for two lines of text and a catchword on f. *2v. Interleaved between pp. 200 and 201 with five ms. pages by a Swedish scholar (c. 1915). - II: Second edition of Sennert's Arabic grammar, followed by a concise Arabic dictionary. - III: Only edition of this rare collection of Arabic proverbs with their Latin translations, also prepared by the German scholar Sennert (1606-89), himself a pupil of Golius and in 1640 Jakob Weller's successor as professor of oriental languages in Wittenberg. - Somewhat browned due to paper, but well-preserved altogether. Several old ownerships on flyleaf, including a note of acquisition dated Wittenberg, 1619, and the ownership of Ernst Friedrich Tobias (dated Feb. 1725). I: Smitskamp, BO 72. Schnurrer 81.

Grammatica arabica cum fabulis Lokmani etc. Accedunt excerpta anthologiae veterum arabiae poetoetarum quae inscribitur Hamasa Abi Temmam et notis illustrata ab Alberto Schultens praefatio. Editio secunda. Leiden, apud Samuel et Joannes Luchtmans, 1767.
Small 4to. (14), CXXXII, 603, (69) pp. With engraved vignette and the engraved coat of arms of Wilhelm Count Bentink. Contemporary half calf with giltstamped spine label. Erpenius's famous grammar, a landmark in Arabic studies until the early 19th century. This edition is a line-for-line reprint of the 1748 edition (which in turn repeated the one edited by Golius in 1656), with only the indexes expanded. It also contains a collection of pre-Islamic folk songs, the "Hamasah" of Abu Tammam, added by the editor Schultens, as well as an extensive preface discussing the relationship between Hebrew and Arabic. Erpenius (1584-1624), professor of oriental languages at Leiden, first published his "Grammatica Arabica" in 1613, having completed it four years earlier while staying in Paris with Casaubon. He is regarded as "one of the men whom the study of oriental languages owes its resurrection [...] He set up his own printing shop with Hebrew, Arabic, Syrian, Ethiopian, and Turkish type" (cf. ADB). Until well into the 19th century his works, published in numerous editions, remained the foundation of Arabic language teaching in the west. The editor of this edition, Albert Schultens (1686-1750), also served as professor of Oriental Languages at Leiden (1732-1750). During his lifetime he was the principal teacher of Arabic in Europe, and followed Erpenius's tradition in restoring the reputation of Arabic studies, vindicating the importance of the comparative study of the Semitic languages against those who regarded Hebrew as a sacred language beyond the realm of comparative philology. - Spine slightly rubbed, minor foxing to title page, otherwise in very good condition.

Rudimenta linguae Arabicae. Accedunt eiusdem praxis grammatica; & consilium de studio Arabico feliciter instituendo. Leiden, ex typographia auctoris, 1620.
8vo. (16), 184, (56) pp. With woodcut printer's device on t. p. Modern half vellum with marbled covers. Rare first edition. "The work opens with the well known 'Consilium de studio arabico feliciter instituendo' here published for the first time. At the end is given a 'Catalogus librorum arabicorum', compiled by Erpenius and Coddaeus, and listing most of the work concerned with Arabic published so far. It is one of the sources for the alleged Koran printed in Venice ca. 1520" (Smitskamp). Remarkably, the author printed his introduction in the Arabic style, from right to left. Erpenius (1584-1624), professor of oriental languages at Leiden, "is one of the men whom the study of oriental languages owes its resurrection [...] He set up his own printing shop with Hebrew, Arabic, Syrian, Ethiopian, and Turkish type" (cf. ADB). Until well into the 19th century his works, published in numerous editions, remained the foundation of Arabic language teaching in the west. - A few underlinings and marginalia in Latin and Arabic. Some waterstaining. From the library of the Danzig Lutheran Nathanael Dilger (1604-79) with his marginalia and autograph note of acquisition, dated November 1625, on title page. Graesse II, 499. Hoefer XVI, 309. Schnurrer 55. Smitskamp 88. ADB VI, 329 ("1628" in error). Cf. Ebert 6914. Gay 3400 (later ed.). Brunet 1050 (later ed.).

Large 8vo. (16), 184, (48) pp. Title printed in red and black with woodcut vignette in red and black. Contemp. limp vellum. "A scholar’s issue, with 5 prefatory leaves" (Smitskamp): the first of three versions distinguished by Smitskamp of the third edition of the "Rudimenta". As the earlier editions (first: 1620; second, posthumously: 1628), this is printed in the beautiful Arabic type of Savary de Brèves. Erpenius (1584-1624), professor of oriental languages at Leiden, "is one of the men whom the study of oriental languages owes its resurrection [...] He set up his own printing shop with Hebrew, Arabic, Syrian, Ethiopian, and Turkish type" (cf. ADB). Until well into the 19th century his works, published in numerous editions, remained the foundation of Arabic language teaching in the west. - Old ownership of Bernard Marin Bottelko on title and final page (the latter repaired by a former owner).

4to. (6), 374, (174) pp. With engr. publisher's device on t. p. Contemp. half calf with giltstamped red label to gilt spine. All edges red. Re-issue of the 1733 4th edition (first published in 1620). "An important addition is Schultens' 'Clavis dialectorum', in which he discusses the lexicological relation between Hebrew and Arabic. Another new feature is the anthology of proverbs entitled 'Al-Nawabig' [...] The indexes are this time predominant, for Arabic alone 142 pages" (Smitskamp). Erpenius (1584-1624), professor of oriental languages at Leiden, is regarded as "one of the men whom the study of oriental languages owes its resurrection" (cf. ADB). His own private printing shop, equipped with Hebrew, Arabic, Syrian, Ethiopian, and Turkish type, produced its first specimens as early as 1615. - Some slight browning and brownstaining throughout due to paper.

Rudimenta linguae Arabicae. Leiden, Boneventura and Abraham Elzevier, 1628.
Small 8vo (150 x 95 mm). (10), 172, (48) pp. With title page printed in red and black. 19th-century green sheepskin. Rare second, corrected edition of Erpenius's influential Arabic grammar. Erpenius, one of the most distinguished orientalists and by far the best Arabist of his day, published his famous "Grammatica Arabica" in 1613, followed in 1620 by the "Rudimenta linguae Arabicae", a slightly abridged version of the "Grammatica". It includes the Arabic text, with Latin transcriptions, of chapter 64 of the Quran. - Removed from the Reims Jesuit College library, with their annotation to title page ("Collegii Remensis / Societatis Jesu / Catalogo Inscriptur"). A fine copy. Aboussouan 309. Smitskamp I, 69. Schnurrer 60. STCN (3 copies). Cf. Hamilton, Europe and the Arab world 18.

Es, N. J. A. P. H. van.
De hippische sport en het korps rijdende artillerie 1793-1908 … 1e gedeelte [valkerij]. 2e gedeelte [hippische sport]. Arnhem, Coers & Roest and G.J. Thieme, [1913].
2 volumes. Large 4to (37.5 x 31 cm). With ca. 80 lithographed plates and numerous illustrations and decorations in text, many beautifully coloured by hand and some highlighted with silver and/or gold. [16], 172, [18], [2 blank]; [14], 221, [1 blank], [17], [1 blank] pp. Original publisher's gold-blocked blue cloth, with a coloured hooded hawk on front boards, upper edges gilt, other edges untrimmed. Very rare, limited first and only edition of an exquisitely produced work on falconry and equestrian sports, a showpiece of Dutch art nouveau book illustration. The first volume, on falconry, contains reproductions of the plates from Schlegel and Wulvenhorst's "Traité de fauconnerie" (1844-53), "the finest work on falconry which has ever been produced" (Harting), and opens with a section devoted to the Dutch Prince Alexander van Oranje-Nassau (1818-48), president of the Royal Hawking Club, and ends with a list of terms together with their translation into English, French and German. The second volume treats the equestrian sports in the Netherlands, England, France, Germany and Belgium, with illustrations of races and hunts. Much of the information derived from previously unpublished sources concerning the Dutch Royal family and their horse- and falconry related activities. - It is a separately published follow-up to the ten volume set Het historisch museum van het Korps Rijdende Artillerie (1898-1904), that was published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Dutch Horse Artillery Corps (The Yellow Riders). The complete series ranks "among the most beautiful military publications in the world" (Sloos). - The book was financed and privately published in a limited number by Nicolaas Jan Adriaan Pieter Helenus van Es (1847-1921), Captain of the Dutch Horse Artillery Corps and amateur painter. He was assisted artistically by Jan Hoynck van Papendrecht (1858-1933), Hendrik Maarten Krabbé (1868-1931), Willem Constantijn Staring (1847-1916). The first was famed for his military art. - With a presentation inscription from the author to Colonel Harhoff dated 1913, in each volume, and with library stamps of the Royal Garrison Library Copenhagen ("Det Kgl. Garnisons Bibliothek i Kiøbenhavn" and "Artillerie bibliothek"). Bindings only slightly scuffed at the foot of the spine, otherwise in very good condition. NCC (4 copies). Sloos, Gewapend met kennis, pp. 376-379. Cf. Harting 194.

Esso Standard Libya Inc. / Thomas, A. D.
The Hateiba Story. [Libya], Exxon Production Research Co., 1978.
4to. (12) ff. With 21 original colour photographs (230 x 200 mm) inserted into protective sleeves. In a black full cloth binder with giltstamped title to cover and spine. Scarce records on the Hateiba gas field development project of Esso Standard Libya. The archive includes several schemes and diagrams as well as a brief description of the production facilities, an organization chart, and a capital cost summary - the total cost of the project amounting to $46,470. Of particular interest are the photographs of the low temperature separation gas plant installed at Hateiba, depicting l.t.s. units and air fin coolers, water tanks, the safety shutdown station and the knock-out drum, as well as the maintenance building and the central control panel operated by two employees. - In excellent condition. Interesting material on an otherwise little documented project in the desert of Eastern Libya.

Estève, Martin-Roch-Xavier.
Règlement du payeur général [de l'armée d'Orient] sur les fabriques d'eau-de-vie. Cairo, Imprimerie nationale, [ca. 1800].
Folio (325 x 465 mm). Broadsheet. Printed in French and Arabic in two columns. Only known copy of this broadside intended for wall-mounting, printed by the first printing press in the Arab world. Issued by the paymaster of Napoleon's Armée de l'Orient, Martin-Roch-Xavier Estève (1772-1852), it is a proclaimation of six articles regulating the production of liquor, mosty from dates, in Cairo, Giza, and Boulaq (now a district of Cairo), including tariffs on the raw materials and final product, a maximum price, and corresponding fines. Distilleries needed to be registered and marked in capital letters as "Fabrique d'eau de vie" within a fixed period following the proclamation. Inspectors were supposed to make "frequent inspections", checking, among other things, that the produced liquor had at least 18 per cent by volume and that it be "of good quality and without any kind of adulteration detrimental to health". The raw materials enumerated in the proclamation include five qualities of fresh dates, dried dates, figs, and raisins. - Small waterstain in the lower edge, traces of folds, otherwise well preserved. No copy in the Bibliotheque nationale de France, not recorded in OCLC. The only known documentation for this highly interesting broadside is the sales catalogue for the library of the famous orientalist Antoine Isaac Silvestre de Sacy. Bibliothèque de M. le baron Silvestre de Sacy, Vol. III, Paris, 1847, p. 461, no. 50. Cf. D. Glass/G. Roper, The Printing of Arabic Books in the Arab World, in: Middle Eastern Languages and the Print Revolution (Gutenberg Museum Mainz 2002), p. 177-225, at 182.

With numerous red ink diagrams in the text and margins. Contemporary blindstamped full calf, restored and spine rebacked.

Written in Central Asia, this manuscript comprises fifteen books rather than the usual thirteen. Some of the marginal diagrams may have been added later. - Paper browned and somewhat mottled throughout, less so near the end of the volume. The restored binding uses the stamped original cover material. Cf. GAL I, 510, 23.

Euclid.
Tahrir kitab al-manazir. [Optics]. [Central Asia, 19th century].
4to (154 x 230 mm). Arabic manuscript on polished oriental paper. (45) pp., 11 lines, per extensum. Black ink with red emphases. With numerous red ink diagrams in the margins. Later full black cloth. An Arabic manuscript of the "Optics" by Euclid, a work on the geometry of vision. According to Euclid, the eye sees objects that are within its visual cone. The visual cone is made up of straight lines, or visual rays, extending outward from the eye. These visual rays are discrete, but we perceive a continuous image because our eyes, and thus our visual rays, move very quickly. - Incomplete, comprising only the first 23 ff. Paper browned; occasional light brownstaining; a paper flaw to the final leaf has been remargined.

Eyckeler Jean.
De heilige plaatsen in Palestina.
Meppel J. A. Boom 1950. Quarto. Pp. 48. With 24 full-page tinted screen gravure plates. Original pictorial wrappers. A very good copy. ~ First edition. With tintedviews of Jerusalem Nazareth Bethlehem Jericho Jordan River Mount of Olives Bethany Mountain Tabor and other views as well as several church interiors. The fine technique of gravure printing developed by Karl Klic 1841-1927 is often referred to erratically as photogravure heliogravure Kupfertiefdruck or Rakeltiefdruck terms which refer to another technique. Experiments in gravure printing began in the 1850s and reproductions of rare prints by this method became common from the 1870s. It was not however until around 1880 that the development of this most brilliant and faithful monochrome reproductive technique yet known in the history of printing began. Klic adapted the cross-line screen to the old hand photogravure process but kept it secret rather than patenting it and the technique was reinvented by others in the years afterwards. Meppel, J. A. Boom, 1950. unknown
