4to. 6, (1), 5, 4 pp. In French, English and Persian. Contemporary printed wrappers. Exceedingly rare article defending the oil nationalisation movement in Iran. Directed at Iranian students in the West, the account aims to clarify "the misunderstandings that prevail in the countries where you study", describing the injustice of foreign oil exploration in Iran leading up to several nationalisation laws passed between 1944 and 1951, which prohibited any concessions being granted to foreigners. - Somewhat dampstained near upper gutter. No more than 3 copies traceable in libraries internationally (all at the Mossadegh Foundation in Geneva).

Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif, ruler of Morocco (1634-1727).
Diplomatic letter to the English ambassador Charles Stewart, acknowledging the desire of the English for diplomatic relations, and offering a truce and peace treaty. [Meknes?], [4 Dec. 1720 CE] / 3 Safar 1133 H.
Manuscript diplomatic letter in Arabic (total sheet approx. 430 x 575 mm), recto with 8 lines of text framed by ruled compartments incorporating penned decoration of stylised foliage and calligraphic seal in green and blue ink heightened with gold, fraying along two old folds with small losses to border, some negligible foxing and light wear to extremities. Decorated in blue and green ink heightened in gold, this diplomatic letter was sent in December 1720 by the fearsome ruler of Morocco Moulay Ismail Ibn Sharif to Charles Stewart, the English ambassador at the head of a mission sent by King George I to negotiate a peace with Morocco. The small squadron sailed from England on 24 September 1720, commanded by Commodore Stewart, who was authorised with the powers of a minister plenipotentiary to negotiate with Moulay Ismail. A treaty of peace between the two countries was signed on January 1721 at Ceuta, the terms securing the release of 296 British slaves, the free movement of British ships in Moroccan waters, and unhindered access for Moroccan ships wishing to trade with Britain. Before the embassy returned to London a conference was held in May 1721 with Pasha Hamet Ben Ali Ben Abdallah. Stewart was accompanied by John Windus, whose important account of the adventure was published as "A Journey to Mequinez" (London, 1725). - Addressed to "the Christian ambassador of the English" (i. e., Stewart), this letter in Arabic offers greetings from Moulay Ismail, followed by a statement acknowledging the English desire for a truce, close friendship and communication with Morocco, and that the potentate of the English (King George I) has despatched the embassy with this in view. Note is made of previous communications through Pasha Hamet Ben Ali Ben Abdallah and Ibn al Attar and that the content has already been ratified and agreed. He hopes that the agreement will be in accord with the expectations of the ambassador and notes the history of friendly diplomatic relations between the English and the kings of Morocco, citing the relationship between his cousin Ahmad Al Mansour (1549-1603) and Queen Elizabeth I. He continues by advising that if it is the ambassador's wish to renew that covenant and treaty and to encourage the relationship between the two countries then he shall in no way oppose it. The layout of the letter with subdivided frames is characteristic of Moroccan chancellery letters of this period (cf. J. F. P. Hopkins, Letters from Barbary 1576-1774: Arabic documents in the Public Record Office, OUP 1982).

Muhammad Asad (Leopold Weiss).
Arabische Reise. No place, 1927-1928.
Large 8vo (172 x 240 mm). Scrapbook containing clippings of the newspaper series "Arabische Reise" and other articles on Arabia, along with various illustrations and music. 80 pp., each sheet covered on one side with coloured paper or cloth. Contemporary green library cloth with cover label. Original clippings of Muhammad Asad's "Arabian Journey", serialized in the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" in 1927, and including other early newspaper articles by Asad (as well as an essay by Hermann Hesse). The handsome album, apparently assembled by a German or Swiss traveller, Georg Hartmann (whose ownership is inscribed on the pastedown and initialled to the upper cover), is decorated with numerous illustrations cut from contemporary magazines, including several showing camel-mounted bedouins in the desert, a view of Mecca, portraits of Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, the muezzin's call to prayer (arranged in musical notes), and the original business wrapping paper of the Istanbul confectioner Hajji Bekir, whom Hartmann seems to have visited during a 1928 visit to Turkey. On the pastedown, Hartmann has entered a table of contents (with a - possibly slightly later - portrait of Ibn Saud as King). - Muhammad Asad (previously, Leopold Weiss) was a leading traveller and journalist of the 20th century who, in 1926, converted to Islam from Judaism, eventually becoming a diplomat for Pakistan and a best-selling author. His enthusiasm for Wahhabism is evident from these early travel reports from the Arabian Peninsula, where Ibn Saud had just captured Mecca and proclaimed independence in the Hejaz and Nejd, but had not yet united his dominions into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Indeed, Asad's feature on Ibn Saud (also included here) constitutes nothing less than a hagiographic portrait of the ideal ruler, and his incisive writings on Islam aim to familiarize western audiences with what he perceived as the purest and truest form of the religion he had come to embrace, criticizing occidental images of the Muslim faith gleaned from the Ottoman or Persian tradition, which he viewed as corruptions.

Muhammad Atma Omar Mode Homa Faqih Camal.
[Book of Shafiism]. [Probably Ottoman Arabia], [1806/07 CE =] 1221 H.
Folio (245 x 326 mm). 202 pp. Arabic manuscript written in Ruq'ah script. Single column, 11 lines, with extensive glosses above, outside, and interlinear. Black ink, emphases (name of Allah) in red. An annotated sketch of the Kaaba on one page; occasional small ornaments. Contemporary blind-stamped decorated binding. An early 19th century summary of the principles and tenets of the Shafi'i school of Sunni Islam, as laid down by Al-Shafi'i in the 9th century, with extensive examples, written in six parts (with a total of 44 chapters) on Taharah (purity), Salah (prayer), Funeral, Zakat (alms), Fasting, and the Hajj. The glosses comprise verses from the Qur'an, hadiths, prayers, instructional matter, and brief naratives. - Contents: the book of Taharah (purity) discusses the rules of cleanliness, with chapters on water (cleansing, ablution, washing the dead, tayammum), miswak (how and when to use water), wudu (detailed obligations), masah (wiping), how to use the toilet, recommended times for performing ghusl (full ablution), tayammum, najis (unclean foods), etc. - The book of Salah discusses the duty of prayer, prayer times, details of how to perform prayer, the duties of the Imam, the differences in prayer for men and women, how to dress, difference in private parts for men and women; circumstances that invalidate a prayer, etc. - The book of Funeral discusses how to treat the dead and dying, bathing and shrouding the deceased, the requirements and procedures of funeral prayer, burial, condolences and lamentations. - The book of Zakat (obligatory alms) discusses to whom and how zakat should be given, with the various types of zakat: money, land property, precious metals; but also zakat al-fitr (Breaking the Fast of Ramadan) and sadaqah (voluntary charity). - The book of Fasting discusses the duties of fasting, what those should do who cannot fast, and circumstances that invalidate the fast. - The book of Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) distinguishes hajj (the major pilgrimage: fard, obligatory) and umrah (the minor pilgrimage: sunnah, traditional). Various chapters discuss the time of the hajj, Ihram (the sacred state into which a Muslim must enter in order to perform the pilgrimage), and a pilgrim's duties on the hajj. This part, perhaps the most striking point of the study, includes an annotated sketch of the Kaaba that indicates "The gate of the Kaaba", "The Rukn al-Yamani" (Yemeni Corner), "The Rukn al-'Iraqi" (Iraqi Corner), "The Hajar al-Aswad" (Black Stone), "Al Multazam" (a place where prayer is acceptable), "Maqam Ibrahim" (the station of the Prophet Abraham), "The Rukn ush-Shami" (Levantine Corner), and " The Shadherwaan" (a structure built to protect the foundation of the Kaaba from rain water). - Various notes on the first and last page of the manuscript: verses from the Qur'an at the beginning, according to tradition, and expressions of reverence for the Shafi'i scholar Imam al Haramayn (the master of the holy cities Mecca and Medina) at the end, also indicating the author of the work. Some leaves loosened; some edge flaws and brownstaining, mainly confined to the edges as margins; altogether very well preserved. Cf. Muhammad ibn Idris Shafi'i & Majid Khadduri. Islamic Jurisprudence: Shafi'i's Risala (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press, 1961).

MURAT AKTAS.
The Arab uprisings and the struggle of soft powers in the Middle East.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In English. 215 p. The popular uprisings starting from Tunisia in December 2010 and spreading quickly to other Arab countries brought the most extensive social and administrative changes to the Arab World, since the end of the Second World War. These unpredictable and spontaneous upheavals in the Arab World, began with people taking to the streets to express their anger and disappointment with the status quo, surprised not only the effective political actors in the region such as United States, Russia and European Union but also all the world. -Murat Aktas- The recent global financial and economic crisis has wreaked havoc across the globe and it is in that context that the Arab uprisings have occurred. The question becomes whether the global situation was a main cause of those recent events. It is beyond question that the global capitalist system is in a profound crisis. Capitalist decline manifests itself in two major ways.-Ibrahim G. Aoude- The European financial crisis coupled with the Arab Spring marked the decline of the European Union. The Anglosaxons were able through instigated uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt to overthrow in Africa the two pillars of Sarkozy's building of the Union for the Mediterranean, i.e. Ben Ali and Mubarak obliged Sarkozy to bombard his other friend, Gaddafi, in return for a small piece of the Libyan energy cake. -Dimitri Kitsikis- Russia and West were actually surprised by the events developing in the Middle East and for the most part they shared consent on how to approach each Arab country problems as they unfolded, except in the case of Syria and Libya. The events surrounding the Arab Spring had forced countries to take sides.'
