‎The Arab Village Community of the Middle East. Washington, D.C., Smithsonian Institution, 1944.‎

‎8vo. II, (523)-543, (1) pp. With 14 pages of black and white plates after photographs. Original printed wrappers, stapled. A highly detailed Smithsonian report illustrating daily life in 1940s Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, profusely illustrated from photographs of buildings, markets, and rural life. The text is produced from an excerpt of the Smithsonian Report for 1943 and retains its pagination. Smithsonian reports, given annually to the institution's board of regents, cover a wide array of topics relating to the operations and expenditure of the institute; as a cultural institution and museum, they often went into detail regarding underlying social and economic structures when describing communities. Here, village life is illustrated via carefully described examples. Land ownership, inheritance, and family traditions are examined in economic, social, and cultural terms, along with relevant vocabulary (i.e., the four different terms for owned or leased property, or the worst insult one could level at a family). Much space is given to farming techniques and staple cereal crops (in order, wheat, barley, maize, dura, and rice) and to the central and unifying role of Islam in economic and cultural life. In the final years of WWII, American and other Western governments and institutions were increasingly interested in both the present and the future of countries like Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. - Binding a touch delicate, otherwise in good condition.

‎Tarafah ibn al-`Abd / Reiske, Johann Jacob (ed.).‎

‎Tharaphae Moallakah cum scholiis Nahas e mss. Leidensibus. Leiden, (Isaac van der Mijn for) Jean Luzac, 1742.‎

‎4to. (2), LIV, 130, (2) pp. Title printed in red and black with engraved title vignette. 1 folding genealogical table. Contemporary half calf with gilt spine and spine label (chipped). First edition; "a groundbreaking achievement" (Fück, p. 111). Reiske's unvocalised edition of Tarafah's text, with a Latin translation on opposite pages and the commentary of Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Nahhas. "The appended notes trace the poet's chain of thought and elucidate the various themes with their poetic phraeseology by comparison with parallels in other works [...] A geneaological plate visualizes the kinship between Tarafah and other northern Arabian ports, facilitating the reader's checking the chronological approaches suggested in the prologue" (ibid.). In sharp contrast to his teacher Schultens, the brilliant scholar Reiske (1716-74) was one of the first Arabists whose work was fully independent of the constraints of Biblical exegesis. - The sixth century Arab poet Tarafah was the author of the longest of the seven odes in the celebrated collection of pre-Islamic poetry "al-Mu'allaqat" (Moallakah). Some critics judge him to be the greatest of the pre-Islamic poets, if not the greatest Arab poet. - Very rare. Schnurrer 202. Fück 110. Graesse IV, 554. Van der Aa VI, 69ff. Encyc. Britt. 26, 415.

‎Tarenghi, Enrico, Italian painter (1848-1938).‎

‎Carpet sellers and a camel beside the Nile. [Rome?, late 19th century?].‎

‎Watercolour on a large sheet of paper (image size: 74.5 × 52 cm), signed at the foot right: "E. Tarenghi". Contemporary (?) gilt wooden frame (89.5 × 66 cm), behind plastic. Attractive watercolour painting by the Italian orientalist painter Enrico Tarenghi (1848-1938), it shows three bearded men with carpets and two poufs. One of them is clearly the seller, another is inspecting the wares and the third is sitting on the ground rolling up one of the carpets. In the background a wide river (generally assumed to be the Nile), a dromedary and dozens of palm trees. Tarenghi made extensive use of photography in his work and often used photographs as a template for the background. The present setting is found more often in his work, not only showing carpet sellers, but also merchants selling fruit. The carpet trade, however, seems to be one of his favourite subjects regardless of the background. The carpets allowed Tarenghi to show off his skills, with their intricate motives, textures, creases and folds. - Small waterstain and minor defects at the foot and a few other negligible blemishes, but otherwise in very good condition. For the artist: Thieme & Becker XXXII, p. 445.‎
