Abbas al-Aqqad (1889-1964) remains well known in Egypt as a versatile journalist, poet and literary critic.

Chapters include Arabic beliefs, life, writing, trade, science, arts, music, philosophy, state's organisation, religious movements, nationalism, the press, etc. "To sum up the situation of the Arab world today", al-Aqqad writes: "It is a situation in which the future looks as good as the past, and pride in our fathers is not divorced from hope for our sons". - Binding slightly duststained and chipped in places, but still a good copy.

‎Al-Busiri, Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad ibn Sa'id / Rosenzweig-Schwanau, Vincenz von (ed.).‎

‎Funkelnde Wandelsterne zum Lobe des besten der Geschöpfe. Ein arabisches, insgemein unter dem Nahmen: [Qaside i Burda], Gedicht Burde bekanntes Gedicht [...]. Vienna, Anton Schmid, 1824.‎

‎Folio (255 x 390 mm). VI, 26 pp. - (Bound with) II: Fundgruben des Orients I. [Ibid., 1809]. 85-190 pp. With 1 engraved plate. - III: Fundgruben des Orients VI. [Ibid., 1818]. 221-340 pp. With 1 engraved plate. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with giltstamped spine label. Only edition, printed in Arabic and German parallel text. Critical edition and translation of the famous 13th century ode "Al-Burda", a religious poem in praise of the Prophet Muhammad written by Busiri, produced by the Austrian orientalist von Rosenzweig (1791-1865). Translated into many European languages since the 18th century, starting with the 1761 Latin edtion, the "Al-Burda" saw several German translations, including a lyrical translation by another prominent orientalist, Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall, in 1822, none of which, however, were as successful as this edition. It launched Rosenzweig as an editor and translator whose extensive work culminated with his three-volume edition of Hafiz' "Diwan", published from 1858 to 1864. - Bound with the Al-Burda are extracts from Hammer-Purgstall's six-volume "Fundgruben des Orients", taken from vols. I and VI, including extracts from the Quran and from the works of Ibn Chaldun, as well as a catalogue of Arabic, Persian and Turkish books held by the Vienna Imperial Library. - Extremities lightly bumped; binding loosened. Paper continuously browned throughout; occasionally brownstained and waterstained. Pages 241-244 of volume VI transposed between pp. 260 and 261. Some handwritten marginal notes in ink and pencil near the end. The spine label does not correspond to the title of the main work, reading: "Freitag Dissertation de la Angueara". - Rarely seen at auction. GAL II, 149. OCLC 311499210. Goedeke XVI, 628, 7, 2.‎

‎Al-Ghazali, Abu Hamid Muhammad.‎

‎8vo (127 x 212 mm). (226) pp. Persian manuscript in black ink, with catchwords in red. Nas'taliq calligraphy, bordered in gilt, with 'unwan in colours, gilt, on first page of text. 19th century green morocco with gilt borders and red spine label. Marbled endpapers. Persian translation of this Sufi guide to the devout life, also known as "The High Road of Worshippers" or "The Path of the Worshipful Servants". The 11-century Persian theologian, jurist, philosopher, and mystic Al-Ghazali has been called the single most influential Muslim after the prophet Muhammad, and a "Mujaddid", or Renewer of the Faith. His works were so highly acclaimed by his contemporaries that al-Ghazali was awarded the honorific title "Proof of Islam" ("Hujjat al-Islam"). - Numerous marginal annotations throughout. Binding rubbed and bumped at extremeties; upper hinges starting. Some waterstaining to margins; occasional paper flaws and traces of worming repaired; a few edges folded in to preserve marginalia from further trimming. Later inscription in Arabic on final page, and inscribed in English "to Prince Jehandoor" (27 Nov. 1836) under the colophon. Cf. GAL I, 423, no. 38 (& Suppl. I, 751).‎

Entirely in Arabic, the work employs the latest official data, combined with Dr. Al-Jasim's skilled analysis, to provide an authoritative insight into the nature of the world's most dynamic petroleum industry and its effects upon Saudi Arabia's national ambitions. Illustrated with numerous tables and three intriguing maps, the work is an invaluable source for anyone interested in the modern development of the global petroleum industry and the economic history of Saudi Arabia in particular. - Slight wear to spine and edges of covers; internally clean and crisp.

‎4to. 64 ff. With several diagrams and woodcut initials in the text and the printer's full-page woodcut device on the final page, printed in red and black. Modern limp vellum with ties. "Early edition of Alchabitius' 'Introduction to the Mystery of Judgments from the Stars', with the 'modern' version by Antonius de Fantis. Sessa issued the same work at the same time, but Liechtenstein's edition is superior and especially esteemed for the fine woodcut in black and red (printer's mark) at the end" (Weil). Translated by Joannes Hispalensis (in 1144), with the commentary of Joannes de Saxonia. "Although al-Qabisi's education was primarily in geometry and astronomy, his principal surviving treatise, 'Al-madkhal ila sina'at ahkam al-nujum' ('Introduction into the Art of Astrology') in five sections [...], is on astrology. The book, as the title indicates, is an introductory exposition of some of the fundamental principles of genethlialogy; its present usefulness lies primarily in its quotations from the Sassanian Andarzghar literature and from al-Kindi, the Indians, Ptolemy, Dorotheus of Sidon, Masha'allah, Hermes Trismegistus, and Valens. Although completely lacking in originality, it was highly valued as a textbook [... The] Latin version was commented on by Joannes de Saxonia at Paris in 1331" (DSB). - Title slightly smudged; occasional light waterstaining.

‎Kashf al-asrar ‘an ilm huruf al-ghubar [Treatise on arithmetics]. Morocco / North Africa, [12 April 1893 CE =] 25 Ramadan 1310 H.‎

‎4to (187 x 234 mm). Arabic manuscript on wove paper. 49 ff., 16 lines per extensum within blue and gilt rules. Written in brown maghribi with headings and emphases in gold, blue and red; numerals written in red; one illuminated headpiece in colours and gold. Pretty contemporary brown leather binding with gilt borders and recessed central medallions and corner pieces, stamped in relief and outlined in gold. Green endpapers. Prettily calligraphed and bound manuscript treatise on mathematics and arithemetics, being a compendium of the author’s larger work entitled "Kashf al-jilb?b 'an 'ilm al-hisab", copied in the late 19th century CE in Northern Africa, very likely in Morocco. - The author Abu'l-Hasan ibn Ali al-Qalasadi (1412-86) was a Muslim Arab mathematician from Al-Andalus; Franz Woepcke singled him out as one of the most influential voices in algebraic notation for having taking "the first steps toward the introduction of algebraic symbolism". Al-Qalasadi was born in Baza, an outpost of the Emirate of Granada. He received his education in Granada, but continued to support his family in Baza. He wrote numerous books on arithmetic and algebra, eventually retiring to his native Baza. His algebraic works provided precise mathematical answers to problems of everyday life, such as the composition of medications, how to calculate the inclination of irrigation canals, and the explanation of frauds linked to measuring instruments. Others belonged to the ancient tradition of judicial and cultural mathematics, including a collection of little arithmetical problems presented in the form of verse riddles. - Occasional insignificant foxing and browning; very well preserved.

‎[Kitab al-Gadari wa 'l-Hasbah - latine.] Libri duodecim; Razae de pestilentia libellus. Strasbourg, Rémy Guédon, 1549.‎

‎8vo. (48), 662, (2) pp. With woodcut printer's device on title-page, repeated on verso of final leaf. 18th century half calf with marbled boards and title giltstamped to spine. First Latin edition of this collection, published in Greek by Stephanus in Paris the previous year (itself a translation from Syriac): the twelve books on medicine by Alexander of Tralles, the first parasitologist in medical history (and the younger brother of Anthemius, architect of the Hagia Sophia), issued with al-Razi's classic treatise on smallpox and measles ("Kitab fi al-Jadari wa al-Hasaba"), also known as "Peri loimikes" or "De pestilentia": the first book ever published on smallpox. Indeed, al-Razi was the first physician in the history of medicine to differentiate between smallpox and measles, and consider them as two different diseases. The influence of his diagnostic concepts on Muslim medicine was very clear, especially on Ibn Sina. This work gained great popularity in Europe and was also translated into French, English and German; Brockelmann states it saw some 40 Latin editions between 1498 and 1866. - Al-Razi (also known as Rhazes; 850-923 or 932) is considered the greatest mediaeval physician next to Avicenna; he also conducted alchemical experiments. According to his biographer al-Gildaki, he was blinded for refusing to share his secrets of chemistry. - Binding lightly rubbed. Light brownstaining throughout, with a waterstain to the upper edge. A misprint has been overpasted with replacement text on pp. 40f. ("imo interdum mors talium potionem comitatur"). Rare; only two copies in auction records internationally since 1950. VD 16, A 1786.
