Gandhara : The Memory of Afghanistan
Paris France: Assouline 2002. Paris: Assouline 2002. Hardcover binding 79 pp. Gandhara is a historic region in what was the northwest of ancient India currently Pakistan and Afghanistan that flourished in the first centuries A.D. with a hybrid of Greek and Buddhist Indian culture. The Gandhara school incorporated motifs and techniques from classical Western art while remaining Indian at its core. It includes the earliest examples of Buddha in human form often with features resembling the Greek god Apollo. Magnificently sculpted statuary and friezes many only fragments are shown here as well as the colossal Buddhas of Bamiya�enormous figures sculpted into a cliff face�that were recently dynamited by Afghanistan's Taliban regime. Each volume in this series of slim and handsome monographs uses full- and double-page photographs undiluted with captions to reveal a particular genius of design art or fashion. The quality of the photos is quite high a foreword or preface by an author close to the subject establishes the importance of the work seen and the illustrations are captioned in a thumbnail appendix. New in new dust jacket. First Edition. Cloth. New/New. Illus. by Illustrated. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Assouline Hardcover

Ghani Cyrus
Shakespeare Persia and the East
Washington DC: Mage Publishers 2008. Book. New. Cloth. First Hardback Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. No writer's work has been studied more closely or more often than the plays of William Shakespeare that master of language and peerless explorer of the human heart. Books about him number in the thousands yet "Shakespeare Persia and the East" brings a truly fresh perspective to this genius. In the three dozen plays he composed between 1590 and 1612 Shakespeare ranged far and wide in his imagination setting some of his tales in places as varied as Denmark Venice and Athens - while drawing on a rich array of imagery and lore from lands further east. This remarkable book by a lifelong student of Shakespeare Cyrus Ghani reveals how rich a source of inspiration those exotic Eastern realms were for the playwright. Elizabethan England was especially fascinated by Persia whose deep-rooted culture was then flourishing under the Safavid dynasty. An Englishman first visited there in 1562 two years before Shakespeare's birth.More contacts between England and Persia followed prompted by hopes of a lucrative trading relationship and a possible military alliance against the Ottoman Turks. A pair of English adventurers Anthony and Robert Sherley spent years attempting to establish these ties not always scrupulously and their story was well known to England's greatest dramatist. To illuminate the creative uses Shakespeare made of the East this book first looks at the life of the playwright himself then at the dynasties that did so much to shape England and Persia in that tumultuous age. Other sections in this book profile key figures in the efforts to forge a connection between the two lands with particular focus on the colourful Sherleys and their fatally ambitious sponsor the Earl of Essex - a great admirer of Shakespeare. The final section of this book briefly describes the plays and cites - their many allusions to the East - testimony that this literary giant was very much a man of his time. 187pp. Mage Publishers Hardcover

Gianni, Vittorio.
Notizie, ed aventure veridiche di un viaggio intrapreso da una persona di condizione privata [...] di Urbino [...], sino a Costantinopoli; e del ritorno suo [...]. Middle East, 1769-1770.
Folio (235 x 170 mm). Italian manuscript in two parts with 29 original pen and ink drawings (15 and 14), written in black ink in a neat, legible hand, 28 lines to a page. (1), 95, (1) pp. (including illustrations numbered in pencil, upper right, but recto only). Collation, including illustrations: [1 f., 1 p.], [21 ff., 35 pp.], [6 pp.], [17 ff., 26 pp.], [5 pp.] (several sheets cut so that a tab only remains of the second page, and all illustrations tipped in). Contemporary half vellum over marbled paper boards. Generally written on both recto and verso, except for the two title-pages and the illustrations (recto only); all but first and last page enclosed with a single line border, in pencil for text pages and in ink for illustrations. Unpublished manuscript giving a vivid and event-filled first person account of a journey from Urbino to Constantinople, well legible and beautifully presented with 29 equally unique pen-and-ink illustrations. - A unique account of a journey from Urbino to Constantinople and back, in 1769-70, hand-written and accompanied by 29 original drawings, which offer views of islands rarely if ever depicted in contemporary travel accounts or series. No counterpart has been found for the illustrations, which appear to have been prepared from eye-witness records. That the artist may have been the author himself is suggested by the fact that he makes no mention of a separate artist, and by the manner in which he introduces the first illustration: 'Il Paise è piccolo come vedrassi della figura, che di curiosita, ed intelligenza di lettori porro a piedi di questo capitolo' (p. 5v). The story of his adventure is equally idiosyncratic, incorporating both a record of foreign places, people and customs common to other such literature, and also an account of a personal tragedy and a dangerous sea-voyage. The manuscript falls within a tradition of cultural exchange and travel writing between Europeans and the Orient; but unlike Luigi Mayer, for example, employed to make drawings of the historical buildings of Constantinople by the English ambassador Sir Robert Ainslie shortly afterwards, or J. B. Hilair, whose paintings made on a trip throughout the Empire with the French ambassador Count Choiseul-Gouffier in 1776, and engraved and published in Gouffier's "Voyage pittoresque de la Grèce" (1778-82), Gianni appears to be an entirely independent figure. Though the manuscript is set out like a printed book and was presumably destined for wider distribution in that form as a money-making enterprise, Gianni does not seem to have been commissioned, nor to have hoped for patronage. His stated aim is simply to give a true account to his readers, in case they might wish to undertake a similar journey. His route takes him through great cities such as Venice, Athens, Smyrna and Gallipoli, ancient sites such as Troy and Heraklia, through the Peloponnesus and islands such as Mykonos, Corfu, Maitos and Skios, all of which he describes and depicts in detail. Meanwhile, although he says that he is not writing in order to leave "una viva ricordanza di me, come di soggetto qualificato", that is precisely what he does: the second part of the book recounts his search for his son from whom he had heard nothing but that he had married a Greek girl. Reunited with him through a doctor who has been helping the boy through an illness, he tries to persuade the young couple to return with him to Urbino, but this plan is thwarted by the machinations of the doctor. His journey home, alone, is enlivened by an encounter with corsairs, a near shipwreck, a boy falling overboard and a violent storm. The value of this book lies not only in the unique, unpublished text and illustrations, and legible and attractive presentation, but also in the combination of commonly-found themes such as dress and customs, with an entirely personal and richly-told narrative of one man's search for his son. - One illustration (Smirne) has been trimmed along the right edge after having been bound in. Etched armorial bookplate of an unidentified noble bishop on front pastedown.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, 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 perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” 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.

Ginat Joseph and Perkins Edward J.
Palestinian Refugees : Old Problems - New Solutions
Brighton: Sussex Academic Press 2001. Book. Like New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. There has been little progress on the refugee problem because of official Palestinian public positions other Arab countries' approach to the 'right of return' of all Palestinian refugees and the contrasting Israeli public policy of not allowing any refugees to return to Israel. Such polar-opposite approaches can never resolve this difficult and longstanding humanitarian problem. By working collectively the world's leading experts from Arab countries the Palestinian Authority Israel Europe and the United States have developed a chessboard of proposed solutions. The volume in part reflects the polarization that exists on the issue and in part moves away from the political slogans of both sides toward concrete proposals for negotiating a comprehensive agreement. 341pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover

Ginat Rami; Noema Meir
Egypt and the Second Palestinian Intifada : Policymaking with Multifaceted Commitments
Brighton and Portland: Sussex Academic Press 2011. Book. New. Cloth/Laminated Boards. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. With the outbreak of the Palestinian Intifadat al-Aqsa in September 2000 that followed the failure of the Camp David II summit the chain of belligerent events took Egypt by surprise. Facing a dilemma in its search for an appropriate policy towards the Palestinian-Israeli escalation this study argues that Egypt's policy towards the second Intifada may best be understood by scrutinising several circles of reference that directly affected its policymaking process throughout the long years of the bloody Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These circles of reference comprise interests and calculations derived from Egyptian internal issues; regional factors - Egypt's role and position in the Arab world in general and its relations with the Palestinians in particular; Egypt's relations with Israel; and its strategic ties with the United States. The growing strength and the expansion of the global Islamic terrorist network that challenges the stability of the present Arab regimes constitutes a lynchpin at every layer. Egypt's foreign policy is based on Realpolitik that is on pragmatic and material factors rather than on ideological or moral considerations. Safeguarding its national interests is Egypt's prime goal. In this regard Egypt considers the peace with Israel as a strategic national asset. For Mubarak's regime the abrogation of the peace treaty with Israel has never been an option even during the worst days of the Intifada. Mubarak has shown exemplary restraint throughout the conflict. Despite occasional harsh anti-Israeli statements aimed mainly at easing internal and external pressures Mubarak's regime can on the whole be seen as a responsible and stabilising factor vehemently striving to prevent regional escalation. This study is based primarily on Egyptian sources as well as interviews and conversations with senior members of the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies. It also draws on other primary and secondary sources in Arabic Hebrew and English. The book is essential reading for all scholars involved and engaged with the Israel-Arab conflict. 149pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover

Girgis ibn 'Abdullah al-Dimashqi al-Bayruti al-Katuliki.
Kitab madkhal al-ahkaam fi al-khass wa al-amm [An Introduction to the General and Specific Principles (of Astronomy)]. Beirut, Lebanon, 1884.
4to (180 x 256 mm). Arabic manuscript on paper. Paginated 1-297 (but ff. 101-116 and 273-297 left blank). 21 lines of black riqa' within double pencil rules, illustrated throughout with numerous diagrams. Contemporary blindstamped black cloth. Finely handwritten Lebanese manual of astronomy, written in Arabic by a Catholic Christian mathematician of Syrian descent. In his preface, the author Girgis indicates that his work deals with the sciences of the stars and constellations, including phenomena such as eclipses. He therefore drew from "ancient manuscripts, some of them thousands of years old", and used the astronomical concordances "of the scholars of India, Persia, Greece and Egypt" to write his treatise, which boasts numerous meticulously executed diagrams and tables. Dated 8 Adar 1884 in the Jewish-Christian style. Apparently, this interesting manuscript was not completed by the scribe. - Binding rubbed and bumped, spine chipped and frayed. Paper evenly browned throughout.
