Happel, Eberhard Werner.
Thesaurus exoticorum. Alßdann eine kurtzbündige Beschreibung von Ungarn. Hamburg & Frankfurt, Wiering & Hertel, 1688.
Folio (221 x 352 mm). 5 parts in 1 vol. (10), 120, 192, 160 (but: 156), 288 (but: 388), (4), 115, (1) pp. (without 4 ff. of index). With engraved t. p., 26 double-page-sized engravings (mostly folding), 3 folding engr. maps, 3 folding woodcut plates, and numerous text engravings. Marbled pastedowns. Contemp. calf. A complete copy of the first edition, noted for its illustrations, half of which are devoted to the Islamic World. This exceptionally wide-ranging collection of politics and travel reports, anecdotes, scientific discoveries, and experiments is a testament to Happel's shrewd journalistic understanding of popular taste. The woodcuts constitute the principal work of Thomas Wiering (cf. Thieme/Becker XXXV, 537). "Has special interest for the American collector, as it consists of a series of 15 curious representations of the aborigines of America, all with detailed descriptions of their manners, customs, religion" (Sabin). Mainly concerned with the Turkish Wars in Europe (and also mentions the campaigns in southern Greece from 1684 to 1688). "The last part of the work is of particular interest in that it contains the first complete transcription of the Qu'ran into German language" (Koc, 164). - Engraved title page shows ink censorship to pudenda of allegorical figure; four-line ms. inscription (dated 1690). Several plates trimmed closely or remargined (occasional slight loss to image). Formerly in the Ottoman collection of the Swiss industrialist Herry W. Schaefer. VD 17, 39:131766W (citing 25 plates and 2 engr. maps). Ömer Koc Collction, I, 92 (pp. 163-173). STC H 315. Dünnhaupt 15.1. Borba de Moraes 393. Hayn/Gotendorf III, 84. Jantz 1291. Alden 688/117.

Hariri, al-Qasim Ibn 'Ali al-.
Kitab Maqamat al-Hariri. Beirut, Matba`at al-Ma`arif, 1873.
8vo. 564 pp. Contemporary half cloth over marbled boards with giltstamped spine. Rare Lebanese printing of the famous "Maqamat" ("Assemblies" or "Sessions") of al-Hariri of Basra (1054-1122): a virtuoso display of Arabic poetry, consisting of fifty anecdotes written in stylized prose which used to be memorized by scholars. "Al-Hariri's Maqamat tie in with the tradition of al-Hamadani. Like he, al-Hariri tells us of the experiences of an educated vagrant, Abu Zaid from Sarug. But his aim is not so much to render vividly this creature of his imagination or even his environment, but rather to invest his accounts with every syntactical and lexical finesse imaginable, and it is these, rather than the content of the narrative, that are to captivate and preoccupy the reader. This is the final flaring of the national Arab spirit: dazzling and, for the moment, pretty as fireworks, but similarly barren, ultimately fizzling out without effect" (Brockelmann). Hariri's masterpiece continued to captivate European Arabists since the 17th century (cf. Fück, 148). - Spine title reads "Fihris / pers.", misidentifying both the language and the title (copied from the pencil transliteration under the heading of the table of contents). A good copy from the library of Horst Wilfrid Brands (1992-98), professor of Turkish Studies and Islamic scholarship in Frankfurt am Main, with his ownership stamp to pastedowns. OCLC 63545591. Cf. GAL I, 276. (S I, 487, cites an 1873 Lucknow edition).

Harmont, (Pierre).
Le miroir de fauconnerie, ou se verra l’instruction pour choisit, nourrir, & traicter, dresser & faire voler toute sorte d’oyseaux [...]. Rouen, Clément Malassis, 1650.
4to (230 x 165 mm). With a woodcut illustration of a hunt using falcons on the titlepage (90 x 95 mm), 7 nearly full-page woodcut illustrations of birds of prey on integral leaves. 38, [2 blank] pp. Half red goatskin morocco (1930s?). Rare fifth edition, the first published outside of Paris, of a concise practical handbook on the choosing, training, care and feeding of birds of prey for hunting, by the falconer to Louis XIII, first published in 1620. "Copies of this work [in any edition] are very difficult to procure" (Harting). The hunting scene on the title-page, which has no related illustration in the first edition or in d'Arcussia, shows two men in the foreground, one blowing a horn and with a dog on a leash, the other holding a falcon and with hawking paraphernalia. It shows falcons attacking birds in the sky, and a hunting scene with dogs and men on horseback chasing a stag in the background. - With the modern armorial bookplate of the Verne d'Orcet family, whose great library on the subject of hunting was begun ca. 1900. With a few minor stains and faint offsetting, but still in good condition, the binding with very slight wear to the fore-edge corners, but otherwise fine. A rare and important practical hondbook on falconry, illustrated with the woodcuts of the second (1634) edition, including a hunting scene not in the first edition. Bibl. Mun. Rouen, Histoires de chasses (exhib. cat. 1992–93), 79; Harting, Bibl. accipitraria 156 note; Souhart, col. 238; Thiébaud, col. 493; USTC 6814292 (1 copy); cf.
