Middleton, Henry / Downton, Nicholas.
Sesde reys van de Engelsche Maatschappy, na Oost-Indien [...]. Leiden, Pieter van der Aa, 1707.
8vo. (2), 217, (16) pp., final blank page. With engraved title vignette, 1 folding map of the Arabian Peninsula and 7 engraved folding plates. Later marbled boards. First edition. Scarce Dutch translation of the journals of Henry Middleton (d. 1613) and his lieutenant Nicholas Downton (1561-1615) documenting the sixth voyage undertaken by the East India Company, in 1610-12. The ships landed in Aden before continuing to Al-Mukha (Mocha) in Yemen, where Middleton's ship ran aground and had to be refloated. "After an initially friendly reception, the local ruler changed his tune and imprisoned Middleton and his crew on the pretext of their breaking an embargo against Christian shipping. After spending three weeks as prisoners at Mocha, they were taken inland to Ta'iz and then San'a, where the Pasha explained that the arrival of English ships had been resented by the local Muslim traders. Released in February 1611, Middleton and his crew returned to Mocha and sailed on 9 Aug. 1611 for Surat in India" (Howgego). The illustrations include depictions of an English ship exploding in the harbour, as well Middleton in chains in a Mocha jail. - Published as part of Van der Aa's collection "Naaukeeurige versameling der gedenkwaardigste Zee- en Land-Reysen". Somewhat browned and brownstained throughout; folding map slightly frayed; 2 tears to first plate and 2nd plate respectively; small tear to title-page repaired with old tape. Only 3 copies traceable in auction records since 1931. Howgego I, 719; cf. also p. 320. Catalogue of Printed Books in the British Museum I, 95. Tiele 5. Cat. NHSM I, 107. OCLC 14998184.

Mildenhall, John / Cartwright, John; [Purchas, Samuel (ed.)].
Oost-Indise voyagien van Johan Mildenhal, en Johan Cartwright, onder veel avontuuren en opmerkelijke waarnemingen, (in de jaren 1599 en 1606) te water en te lande, gedaan na de landen van Persien en den Grooten Mogol. Leiden, Pieter van der Aa, 1706.
8vo. (2), 54, (6) pp. With engraved title vignette, folding engr. map of Persia and northern Arabia, and 2 double-page-sized engraved plates. Papered spine. First Dutch translation of "The travailes of John Mildenhall" and "Observations of Master John Cartwright" (from "Purchas his Pilgrimes", London, 1625, vol. 1, bk. 3, pp. 114-116, and vol. 2, pp. 1422-1437). The merchant adventurer John Mildenhall, "probably the first Englishman to travel overland to India" (Howgego I, 719), spent six months in Constantinople before, in July 1600, departing for Aleppo, proceeding to Bir, Urfa, Diabekr, Sultanieh, Qazvin, and ultimately Lahore. He returned to England in 1605/06. The English preacher John Cartwright accompanied him from Aleppo to Kashan in Persia, then proceeded to Esfahan alone "and travelled widely in the Middle East. The account of his journeys is one of the most valuable of the period" (Howgego I, 197). Tiele 5. Muller (Books, maps, plates on America) 1890f. Alden 707/2. J. C. Brown cat. III, 88.

Miles, Samuel Barrett.
The Countries and Tribes of the Persian Gulf. London, Harrison and Sons, 1920.
4to. 2 vols. (12), 264 pp. (4), 265-643 pp., final blank. With frontispiece portrait and 8 photographic plates. Contemporary stamped cloth with cover and spine titles. Second printing of the equally scarce 1919 first edition of this notable work of travel literature by the British Army officer S. B. Miles, who served as a diplomat in various Arabic-speaking countries, notably Oman, which he came to know better than any other European of the time. His intent to revise the notes he had "jotted down on odd bits of paper as he rode through the desert on his camel" (Preface) was rendered impossible due to his failing eyesight. Five years after his death his widow decided to publish the manuscript as she found it, enriching it with Miles's travelogue of Mesopotamia as well as an index. The work includes the political and economic history of Oman and the Gulf as well as the history and geography of Dhofar, Arab tribes, and pearl fishing. The plates show the forts at Bahila, Yabreen, and Rostak, as well as the house of Seyyid Hamed Bin Azzar at Rostak, a group of locals, and date palms, while the frontispiece depicts Miles resting in a chair wearing his sunglasses. - Binding slightly rubbed and soiled, cockling to upper cover of vol. 2, rebacked. A good copy of this popular work that saw re-issues in 1966 and 1994. Cf. Ghani 250 (1966 reprint only).

Bu kitap'da Eliade, "din" gibi, toplumun en temel kurumlarindan biri üzerinde çalisanlara metodolojik yönden yeni perspektifler göstermekle birlikte; "din"i, toplumda görülen tezahürlerinden sadece biriyle açiklayanlara da gerekli dersi vermektedir. Eliade, "Kutsalin Tecrübesi" üzerinde derin tahlillere girerek, ilk insanin "Dindar Adam" oldugunu ve "Kutsalin diyalektiginin" bütün diyalektik hareketlerden önce geldigini ve onlara modellik görevi yaptigini, bu kitapta ifade etmeye çalismaktadir.

MIRCEA ELIADE.
Dinler tarihine giris.= [Traitê d'histoire des religions]. Translated by Lale Arslan.
Fine English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 16 cm). In Turkish. 455 p. Dinler tarihine giris.= [Traitê d'histoire des religions]. Mircea Eliade'nin bu kitabinin merkezinde iki temel soru var: Din nedir ve hangi asamada bir din tarihinden söz edebiliriz? Eliade bu sorularin aydinlatilabilmesi için kutsalin belli sayida tezahürünün incelenmesi gerektigini düsünüyor. Bu yüzden de incelemesine gök, su, yer, taslar gibi kutsalin farkli kozmik düzlemlerde ortaya konulan yüzlerini irdelemekle basliyor; ardindan ayin halleri, günes, bitkiler ve tarim, cinsellik gibi kutsalin mekanla ilgili tezahürlerini, son olarak da mitleri ve simgeleri inceliyor. Yazarin her bölümde kendine özgü bir çerçeve olusturdugu ve kimi zaman da didaktik olmanin tekdüzeligini asmak üzere her bölümde kendine özgü bir üslup gelistirdigi görülüyor. Kitabin farkli basliklari arasinda gezinen okuyucu kutsalin yapisi üzerinde düsünme olanagi buluyor. Eliade'nin Dinler Tarihine Giris'i tek tek dinleri ele alin inceleyen bir kitap degil, "ilkel" ve "gelismis" din biçimlerini eszamanli olarak inceleyerek tüm dinlerdeki ortak ögeleri ortaya koyan ve insanin kutsal ile iliskisini çözümleyen bir çalisma. Bu kitap bize dinsel inançlar ve düsünceler tarihine nasil yaklasmamiz gerektigini ögretiyor.
