Saunders, John.
John Sturges in Turkish costume with turban and embroidered coat. Peterborough, 1739.
Pastel on paper, laid onto canvas stretched over (original?) wooden board (305 x 410 mm). This pastel was drawn by the prolific itinerant portraitist John Saunders (1682-c. 1758) at Peterborough in September 1739. Saunders is recorded as active in East Anglia, the Midlands and elsewhere in the mid-18th century (cf. Neil Jeffares, "John Saunders", Dictionary of Pastellists Before 1800 [London, 2006]). The sitter, John Sturges in Turkish costume, wearing a white turban with blue feather and golden embroidered coat, was probably drawn from a mezzotint after John Vanderbank (1694-1739) by Francis Kyte (d. 1744), published in 1733. The pastel is of interest as an example of mid-18th century depiction of Turkish costume. Saunders, perhaps in an attempt to add extra exoticism to Mr. Sturges, has included a curling moustache that is not present in the mezzotint. Sturges, an architect based in the East Midlands, is known to have collaborated with William Talman (1650-1719) at Chatsworth and Milton House in Northamptonshire. The fact that this pastel was produced in Peterborough may indicate some connection with descendants of Sturges, assuming that he himself was dead by 1739. The Fitzwilliam Museum holds a drawing of John Sturges by John Vanderbank (wash on paper, PD.1-1992). - Verso with label bearing 19th century manuscript note concerning the autograph pencil inscription by Saunders top right: “Saunders pinxit after Mr. J[oh]n Vanderbank Peterborough Sept. anno d. 1739”. Two negligible scratches to surface, otherwise good, offered without frame.

Selig Schachnowitz 1874-1952 noted neo-Orthodox journalist and writer. In 1908 at the invitation of Agudat Israel in Germany he became editor of Der Israelit a post he held for 30 years until the journal was closed down by the Nazis in 1938. He escaped to Switzerland taking up residence in Zurich where he continued his public and literary work until his death. Following a visit to Israel in 1931 he wrote "Zwischen Ruinen und Aufbau in Erez-Israel" which praised agricultural settlement and expressed strong reservations about the lack of religious observance in the new Israel. He was a prolific writer and although his various publicistic works were of a religious propagandist nature many were of a high literary standard and attracted numerous readers.

SCHAYEGH CYRUS
The Middle East And The Making Of The Modern World
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In The Middle East and the Making of the Modern World Cyrus Schayegh takes up a fundamental problem historians face: how to make sense of the spatial layeredness of the past. He argues that the modern world's ultimate socio-spatial feature was not the oft-studied processes of globalization or state formation or urbanization. Rather it was fast-paced mutually transformative intertwinements of cities regions states and global circuits a bundle of processes he calls transpatialization. To make this case Schayegh's study pivots around Greater Syria Bilad al-Sham in Arabic which is roughly coextensive with present-day Syria Jordan Lebanon and Israel/Palestine. From this region Schayegh looks beyond to imperial and global connections diaspora communities and neighboring Egypt Iraq and Turkey. And he peers deeply into Bilad al-Sham: at cities and their ties and at global economic forces the Ottoman and European empire-states and the post-Ottoman nation-states at work within the region. He shows how diverse socio-spatial intertwinements unfolded in tandem during a transformative stretch of time the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries and concludes with a postscript covering the 1940s to 2010s. Cyrus Schayegh is Associate Professor of International History at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies Geneva. "The Middle East and the Making of the Modern World is an innovative interpretation of the Middle East especially the region known as Greater Syria as both a history and a geography. Written from a non-western perspective Cyrus Schayegh's book offers a much-needed challenge to how we talk about the formation of the modern world. A must-read for Middle East specialists as well as for all who are interested in international history."�Nezar AlSayyad author of Cairo: Histories of a City "Cyrus Schayegh has brought to life the interlocking imperial national local urban and regional layers of nineteenth and twentieth century Greater Syria. Using stories from interviews memoirs diaries and photographs he focuses on the many pathways that sustained connections across this territory and through one hundred years of history."�Betty S. Anderson author of A History of the Modern Middle East: Rulers Rebels and Rogues Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2017 hardcover

Schickard, Wilhelm.
Tarich h. e. Series Regum Persiae, ab Ardschir-Babekan, usque ad Jazdigerdem à Chaliphis expulsum, per annos ferè 400. Tübingen, Dietrich Werlin, 1628.
4to. 231, (1) pp. With a few woodcuts in the text. Contemp. full calf, leading edges and spine sumptuously gilt. All edges red. First edition; very rare. The best known, and most controversial, of Schickard's works: a treatise, with a lengthy introduction, about various Persian ruling dynasties, especially the Sasanians - editing a total of six out of seventeen genealogical charts found on a 45-foot Turkish manuscript scroll. The genealogies aimed to legitimise the Ottoman dynasty by tracing it back to Adam. Schickard (1592-1635) was one of the most learned men of his age, astronomer, professor of Hebrew, mathematician and orientalist. The scroll was brought to Germany by Veit Marchtaler of Ulm, who found it in a mosque during the sack of Fillek (Fülek) in Hungary. Marchtaler wished that the manuscript might not be simply forgotten, consulted in vain with various dragomans (whose versions he did not trust), and finally came across Schickard, who, though he had no Turkish or Persian, knew Arabic and immediately grasped the significance of the scroll. His detailed commentary quotes from various Hebrew and Arabic writings, including several extracts from the Qur'an: sura 21 (p. 60), 38 (p. 53 & 61), 27 (p. 77), 2 (p. 97), and 4 & 5 (p. 97-100). The translation is offered as a gift to the Emperor Ferdinand II until such time as the "autographum ipsum" be lodged in the imperial library. "Schickard was also the designer of Arabic type, which he engraved himself as copper matrices; they were cast by Theodoricus Werlin, and served to illustrate his 'Tarich'" (Smitskamp). - Browned throughout due to paper (as common); trimmed rather closely; final 2 leaves cropped at outer margin with loss of letters. One of three variants, this one without the 20-page appendix (corresponding with the copy in the Bodleian Library, Oxford). Provenance: "Nathan Wright of Englefield", Berkshire (cropped signature at head of title), probably Sir Nathan Wright (1654-1721), lawyer, appointed Lord Keeper in 1700 (cf. ODNB). Later in the collection of the Earls of Macclesfield (North Library at Shirburn Castle; 1860 bookplate, shelfmark 57.B.1). VD 17, 14:646680U. Wilson 203. ADB XX, 300. Smitskamp, PO 132e (note).

4to. (24) pp. Early 19th century marbled wrappers. First edition of this rare and prettily produced philological dissertation on the Arabic language, on Arab scholarship and the use of Arabic studies, written by the Saxon professor of theology and oriental studies J. D. Schieferdecker (1672-1721). Numerous passages are printed in Arabic type (in imitation of those of Erpenius). Separate chapters discuss the influence of Arabic in jurisprudence, medicine, philosophy, astronomy, optics, arithmetics, geography, geometry, and music, as well as in history and literature. A set of subjects for discussion by the doctoral candidate, printed at the end of the volume, includes theses about Muhammad and the Qur'an, on the role of the Messiah in Islam, on the difference between Turkish and Arabic (said to be comparable to that between French and Latin), and on the special regard given in Islam to the first sura of the Qur'an, which is likened to the Lord's Prayer in Christianity. "The 'Fructus' was first defended in 1692 and opens with a calligraphical basmala in bird shape [... It has] a woodcut Arabic title on the title-page" (Smitskamp). - Well preserved.

Schlegel, Hermann / Verster van Wulverhorst, Abraham Henrik.
Traité de Fauconnerie. Leiden & Düsseldorf, Arnz & Co., 1844-1853.
Folio (556 x 735 mm). (6), VI, 90 pp. Tinted lithographed title with a pictorial border comprising 11 scenes of hawking by J. B. Sonderland, 2 hand-coloured lithographed plates of falconry equipment by Portman and von Wouw, and 10 (of 12) hand-coloured lithographed plates of hawks by Wendel after Joseph Wolf (8 of which mounted on board). Stored loosely in original cloth-backed printed boards. First edition of "the finest work on falconry that has ever been produced; not only on account of the beauty of the plates, wherein the hawks are depicted life-size and of the natural colours, but also for the general accuracy of the letterpress" (Harting). Schwerdt concurs that "the life size illustrations of birds are by far the finest ever produced in any book on falconry. It is impossible to describe the mellowness and beauty of the colourings." The "Traité de fauconnerie" is the rarest, most beautiful and most desirable book on falconry ever published. According to the exhibition catalogue documenting the falconry books in the Dutch Royal Library (The Hague, 1993), probably no more than 100 copies were printed, of which no more than 50 can be located today. - Covers of portfolio somewhat rubbed and stained; spine cloth and extremeties professionally restored. Some foxing and browning to plates; several marginal tears and chips professionally repaired and rebacked. Lacking 2 lithographed hawking scenes by J. Dillmann after Sonderland. Still an attractive set, uncommonly encountered in the original portfolio as issued. Harting 194. Schwerdt II, 150. Thiebaud 833. Nissen IVB 832. Fine Bird Books, p. 105. Zimmer p. 554.
