‎Ruphy, J[acques] F[rançois].‎

‎Dictionnaire abrégé François-Arabe, a l'usage de ceux qui se destinent au commerce du Levant. Paris, de l'Imprimerie de la République (par les soins de P. D. Duboy-Laverne), an X (1802 v. st.).‎

‎Large 4to (198 x 260 mm). (4), XV, (1), 227, (1) pp. Contemporary French half calf over papered boards with giltstamped red spine label. Only edition. The first dictionary of Arabic published in France: a unidirectional wordbook of more than 6,000 French terms translated into Arabic (in Arabic typeface), printed in large type and generously spaced, for the use of French merchants in the orient. - In the preface, the author anticipates the concept of linguistic relativity when he observes that Arabic lacks equivalent terms for a multitude of French words, especially such as relate to everyday life, culture, and the mechanical arts, and states that it would be impossible to translate the works of Newton, Montesquieu, or Lavoisier into Arabic, for "l'ignorance d'une chose entraîne nécessairement l'ignorance du mot qui sert à la désigner" (p. ix). With the practical needs of commercial travellers and secretaries in mind, he has thus aimed to pare down the vocabulary of his dictionary to the bare essentials, so as to offer to those who would wish to use Arabic nothing but the most widely used words (p. xiii). - Ruphy, a native of Greece born Iacovos Rouvis, emigrated to France as a young man and participated in Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign before becoming secretary of the Conseil des arts et du commerce du département de la Seine in 1801. - Binding rubbed; extremeties bumped. A fairly large waterstain throughout the lower third of the book. Rare in the trade; a single copy at auction in the past 40 years. Ersch/Gruber V, 53. OCLC 27402218.

‎Russell, Alexander.‎

‎The Natural History of Aleppo. London, printed for G. G. and J. Robinson, 1794.‎

‎4to. 2 vols. XXIV, 446, XXIII, (3) pp. VII, (1), 430, XXXIV, (26) pp. With engraved frontispiece and 20 numbered engraved plates (5 of which folded) on 19 sheets. Contemporary full calf with giltstamped spine labels. All edges red. Second edition of this authoritative account of Aleppo and Ottoman life and manners, based on Russell's experience as physician to the British factory in Aleppo from 1740 to 1753. Enlarged with 3 additional plates compared to the 1756 first edition. Includes an engraved frontispiece with a view of the city, a plan by Carsten Niebuhr (vol. I, plate I), and an additional plate showing fish (vol. II, plate VI). Apart from the Syrian flora and fauna as well as the local climate, Russell's monograph discusses the everyday life of the local population, including that of European merchants living in Aleppo, the organisation of their trade activity, and their social life. Also includes a section on the plague and other epidemic diseases in the 1740s. The descriptions of the education system, of the production of manuscripts, and of the commercial activity in Syria are unusually detailed and can be considered unique in contemporary travel literature on the Ottoman Empire (cf. Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister). The botanical plates were produced by G. D. Ehret, and one plate of fish bears the name of W. Skelton, while the remainder of plates, including the ones depicting birds and domestic life, are unsigned, but were probably produced by Russell himself. - Binding lightly scuffed; interior fresh and extremely well preserved. A charmingly bound set documenting an era of scientific and economic prosperity in Syria. Blackmer 1458. Nissen BBI 3534. Navari 1458. Cox I, 227. Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister 893. ESTC T149605. Cf.

Contemporary full calf with giltstamped spine (rebacked preserving the original spine). The rare first French edition (first issue, in-folio) of Sir Paul Rycaut‘s famous Turkish chronicle, drawn from various authentic sources and from the author‘s own observations. "His most important work [...] presents an animated and, on the whole, faithful picture of Turkish manners" (DNB). "This work is regarded as one of the best of its kind with respect to the religious and military state of Turkey" (Cox). "Provides an account of the society and political system of the Ottoman Empire with unprecedented thoroughness" (cf. Osterhammel, Die Entzauberung Asiens, 32). "An extremely important and influential work, which provides the fullest account of Ottoman affairs during the 17th century" (Blackmer). The attractive engravings depict dignitaries and persons of various ranks in their costumes, also including the illustration of a turban. "Rycaut was appointed consul in Smyrna, where he resided for eleven years. His information on the Ottoman Empire was taken from several sources: original records, and from a Polish resident of some nineteen years at the Ottoman court" (Aboussouan). - 18th century ink ownership of Paul Lignon de Brassac on title page; additional ownership ("Dr. Lignon") and notes on flyleaf. Some browning fingerstaining, mainly confined to margins; slight worming affecting upper edge of first two leaves. Binding rubbed; corners bumped. A wide-margined copy. Weber II, 330.

‎Rycaut, Paul.‎

‎The Present State of the Ottoman Empire. Containing the maxims of the Turkish politie, the most material points of the Mahometan religion [...]. London, for John Starkey & Henry Browne, 1668.‎

‎Folio (198 x 310 mm). (8), 218 pp. With 19 text engravings and two plates (29 costume illustrations in all); wants the frontispiece. Later half calf on five raised bands, gilt, with giltstamped spine label. Marbled endpapers. Edges sprinkled in red. Second printed edition of Sir Paul Rycaut‘s famous Turkish chronicle (the first available), drawn from various authentic sources and from the author‘s own observations. "His most important work [...] presents an animated and, on the whole, faithful picture of Turkish manners" (DNB). "Provides an account of the society and political system of the Ottoman Empire with unprecedented thoroughness" (cf. Osterhammel, Die Entzauberung Asiens, 32). "An extremely important and influential work, which provides the fullest account of Ottoman affairs during the 17th century" (Blackmer). The 1666 first edition, which this replaces, was almost entirely destroyed by the Great Fire of London. The attractive engravings depict dignitaries and persons of various ranks in their costumes, also including the illustration of a turban. The loss of the frontispiece is to some degree extenuated by the fact that it merely showed a repeat of the engraving on fol. B2v (Sultan Mehmed IV on his throne). - Corners bumped. Some foxing, but still a good, prettily bound copy.

‎Witness Iraq: A War Journal Frbruary=April 2003‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Power House Books 2003. Gift inscribed by author. From Publishers Weekly The Shock and Awe campaign may be over but images from the war in Iraq still burn in many people's minds. The red-and-yellow-tinged smoke rising from the nightline of the burning capital the toppling of the giant statue of Saddam Hussein the triumph of coalition soldiers lounging in the dictator's palace-Saba's collection of war photographs contains pictures of all these events. Dozens of photographers from various news services AP Corbis Reuters etc. contributed works to the volume which focuses on the invasion and liberation of Baghdad. Most of the photos were taken with digital cameras and sometimes this shows-in loss of detail in pixilated edges-but they are powerful nonetheless. Giles Penfold captures a long line of sunburned backs as British troops bathe under an improvised shower. The black machine guns of the guerilla group Fedayeen Saddam contrast with the white death shrouds of its members. Francesco Zizola provides one of the most affecting pictures: a wounded Iraqi girl her eyebrows furrowed in a confused expression of sorrow and pain stares helplessly into the camera as two nurses attend to her wounds. It's a shame that the book's design interferes a little with one's appreciation of these images; though the book is large-format most of the photographs are laid out over two pages so the middle crease cuts through the center of the composition. The book's few pages of text-which alternate between diary-like entries by photojournalist Seamus Conlan and news-filled web postings by U.S. serviceman LT Smash-give another perspective on the battle making this a valuable and timely contribution to coverage of the war. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information Inc. Book Description Witness Iraq: A War Journal February April 2003 presents compelling provocative images of the war as seen through the eyes of world-renowned independent and embedded photojournalists belonging to the most well-known and respected photo agencies. The books begins with the assassination attempt of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and continues through the massive roll out of tanks and troops in the desert and on to the fight of the Kurds in the North and finally culminating in the fall of Baghdad. Witness the desperation of Iraqi soldiers as they attempt to surrender. Witness an unpublished and more telling view of the jubilation in Baghdad when the famed huge statue of Saddam Hussein is toppled. Feel the empathy of a US soldier as he cradles an injured Iraqi child. Although this has become history�s most photographed military conflict most photographs in this book have not been seen before. These images take you inside the war and show the courage tragedy humor and compassion portraying the chaos of conflict as well as the respect and empathy for human life. Through these images you will witness not only the horrors of war but also the triumph of the human spirit. . Signed by Author. Presumed First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket.
