Hatifi, 'Abdallah.
Timur-nama [The History of Timur]. Herat, Khorasan (Eastern Persia, now Afghanistan), [1569 CE =] 977 H.
4to (170 x 240 mm). Persian manuscript on polished paper. 137 (instead of 143) ff. (lacking ff. 97-102) in elegant black nasta'liq script, 14 lines, 2 columns. With an illuminated shamsa on fol. 1r (specifying the name of the sponsor Khawaja Nasir as well as the place and date of production) and an illuminated 'unwan headpiece on fol. 1v. Light brown full morocco with blindstamped borders, corners and central ornaments. An elegantly executed Eastern Persian manuscript that chronicles the epic life and victories of one of history's most famous emperors and military leaders, Timur Leng (Tamerlane), from his birth near Samarqand in modern-day Uzbekistan in 1336. "Certainly the most famous of Hatefi’s poems [... The work] extols Timur’s deeds in accordance with the main works of Timurid historiography such as Sharaf-al-Din Yazdi's Zafar-nama [...] Hatefi’s Timur-nama became a model for subsequent poems. It certainly introduced a new genre which was developed further by Hatefi himself [...] Written in 1498, the Timur-nama has been published twice in India (1869, 1958)" (Encyclopaedia Iranica XII, 55-57). - Abdallah Hatefi (Hatifi) was the nephew of 'Abd-al-Rahman Jami, one of the greatest Persian poets and composers of Sufi mystical works. The Timur-nama, modeled after Nizami's "Iskandar-nama", appears to be his only completed work. The oldest extant copy was completed the year after Hatifi's death, 927 H (1521 CE), and was stored in the India Office Library. - Descended from the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan, Timur participated in various military campaigns from a young age, and his victories quickly made him known as a highly skilled military leader. After a decade of internal political wrangling, he became ruler of the Timurid Empire in 1369. For the next 35 years, until his death in 1405, Timur continued to lead a number of great expeditions and wars; his conquests stretched as far west as Baghdad and the Black Sea, the shores of the Arabian Gulf, and far into modern Afghanistan and northwestern India; he took Herat, where this manuscript is written, in 1381. Timur began military campaigns against the Ottoman ruler Bayezid I and the Mamluks in Syria, as well as expeditions to Armenia and Georgia. His final campaign was in the winter of 1404, but he was stricken with fever and plague and died in February of the following year. His line continued through the glory of the Timurid period under his direct descendants, including Babur (1483-1531), the famous founder of the Mughal dynasty in India, who continued to rule until 1857. - An beautiful manuscript containing an illuminated headpiece of the greatest refinement; the illuminated border of the shamsah on fol. 1r. is a hallmark of Herati work. Surrounding the shamsa are several stamped waqf seals and various inscriptions by previous owners; fol. 140v has an inscription by Muhammad Taqi Qarakuzlu, dated 1237 H (1821 CE). - Provenance: Arts of the Islamic World, Sotheby's, 5 April 2006, lot 30. Sam Fogg, 2009.

HAYATI AYDIN.
The self of Muslim and its inner peace.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 96 p. First section of the book focuses on the self and related concepts as a Sufi phrases. This study is a comparative analysis between Islam tradition and Western psychology on this issue. We selected this subject for this reason, to make a good comparison between the Qur'anic verses and scientific knowledge. Because, in the Qur'an explaining that the truth of Self does not run counter to the evidence of science at all, this shows us that Qur'an can be a guide to science and enlighten pioneer scientists about the recognition of Nafs and its mysteries. The second part of the book focuses on the effect of faith and Islamic virtues on the inner peace of the believers and by this way to show the majesty of Islamic faith and rituals in the spiritual happiness of man. Believing, worshipping and spending in charity are the core of Islam as well as the basis of spiritual presence. In the Holy Qur'an, it is explained that man who realises those three elements are those who believe and behave conscientiously. For this reason, in the Qur'an world when Islamic virtues and rituals are carried out, the spiritual context of soul calms down and gets peace. Faith gives internal presence to man, and worshipping gets man closer to the divine existence and giving in charity leads to harmony between man and environment and makes him follow the co-operative law of the cosmos.

Mounted on the album leaves are 174 photographs taken by the British officer Algernon Heber-Percy (1845-1911), recording two of his expeditions to the Levant. Most of the photographs show archaeological sites, ancient ruins, structures, Druze and Bedouin villages and the residents of the villages that Heber-Percy visited in the course of his travels. - The first album, entitled "Argob and Bashan", contains 86 photographs of sites that are today in Syrian territory, specifically Trachonitis, Bashan and Jabal al-Druze, which the photographer visited together with his spouse and two sons in 1894. The sites include villages in the Trachonitis region (the Lajat) as well as in the cities of Qanawat, As-Suwayda, Bosra and other cities, and the road from Damascus to Beirut.

Age Level: 8 and up Grade Level: 3 and up Series: Aesop Prize Awards Found in Iraq and older than the Bible the Koran or the Torah this stirring epic - the world's oldest written story - now becomes available to a general readership for the very first time. Lugalbanda woke with a jolt. He opened his eyes and what did he see but the terrible Anzu bird beating its wings in its nest high above. . . . Did he quake Did he quail No. Lugalbanda the Brave sat and stared and into his head came a brilliant idea. Before the Bible and the Koran before even the Greek and Roman myths there came a story from the land we now call Iraq. Speaking across five thousand years in a voice so fresh and timeless it could have been written yesterday this tale tells of an extraordinary journey of a magical bird of a battle that wouldn't end and of wisdom gained. It is the story of Lugalbanda a boy in a time of war. Etched on clay tablets in cuneiform lost underground for thousands of years and rediscovered just 150 years ago this account of the epic adventures of a loyal resourceful boy is renarrated in lyrical prose by Kathy Henderson and set against Jane Ray's glorious images glinting with gold. "Both timely and timeless Lugalbanda is the oldest-known written story predating even the epic of Gilgamesh who may be Lugalbanda's son. The cuneiform tablets on which this Sumerian legend was inscribed were discovered during 19th-century excavations but not deciphered until the 1970s. Henderson's vivid yet stately words and Ray's Sumerian-inspired watercolor ink and collage illustrations bring immediacy to this story of a boy caught up in wartime. Lugalbanda's courage native kindness and prescience contributed to his heroism. Grievously ill he is left behind in the wilderness while his brothers' army marches to war. Upon his recovery Lugalbanda tames the fearsome Anzu bird with its teeth of a shark and talons of an eagle and persuades the monster to grant him supernatural strength and speed. In return the prince promises that his people will venerate the Anzu bird in perpetuity. With the publication of this beautiful fascinating book modern readers can come to appreciate a compelling narrative from a civilization about which we are still learning." -- Miriam Lang Budin Chappaqua Public Library School Library Journal.
