MICHAELIS JOHANN DAVID. "THE 100 QUESTIONS". THE HANDBOOK OF NIEBUHR'S ARABIA EXPEDITION
Fragen an eine Gesellschaft Gelehrter M�nner die auf Befehl Ihro Majest�t des K�niges von D�nnemark nach Arabien reisen.
Frankfurt am Mayn Garbe 1762. 8vo. In a contemporary full calf binding with four raised bands and gilt lettering and ornamentation to spine. A bit of wear to spine. Previous owner's name to lower part of title-page. A fine copy. 70 397 pp. 4 folded tables paginated 391-97. � The rare first edition of the founding work of Niebuhr's Arabia-expedition which would gain world-wide fame and establish the scientific description of the Arabian peninsula. The present work consists in 100 questions the answers to which constitute the purpose of the Royal Danish Arabia Expedition. In fact the present work is the handbook of Niebuhr's travel to Arabia Felix as its author is the spiritual father of it. <br><br>The work is extraordinary in many ways and it not only served as the basis for the Arabia-expedition it also constitutes a forerunner of modern bible science that would begin to emerge a few decades later. <br><br>Johann Davis Michaelis 1717-19 was a theologian and orientalist whose fame today rests upon the present work and upon the fact that he was responsible for the first scientific expedition to Arabia Felix namely that of Niebuhr. <br>In 1753 he had come up with the idea for the the Royal Danish Arabia Expedition 1761-1767 and had gotten the Danish minister Bernstoff to agree to it. In 1760 when the expedition was becoming a reality Michaelis recommended Niebuhr as a participant and he outlined the entire purpose of the trip - namaly the list of 100 questions that he prepared and published for the members of the expedition in order for them to answer in the course of the voyage. For all intents and purposes Michaelis was the spiritual father of the Arabia-expedition. <br><br>As a theologian and an orientalist many of Michaelis' questions have root in the Bible. But unlike many other theolgians of the time Michaelis sought to shed light over biblical themes through sources outside of the Bible - especially from the Middle East not least Arabia. In this regard his 100 Questions also came to be a precursor to the emergence of modern bible science.<br><br>Although the expedition would have never taken place had it not been for Michaelis and his 100 questions - many of which are also purely naturalistic - he could not quite have foreseen the scientific outcome of the expedition. He had not foreseen that Niebuhr would become the founder of the scientific description of the Arabian peninsula and that Niebuhr's notes would become the basis for the first decipherment of Mesopotamian and Persian cuneiform. <br>On the contrary he was probably quite disappointed that his questions were not all answered as thoroughly as the had anticipated. Adding to that Niebuhr's answer to the questions "only" takes up six pages in the preface to "Description of Arabia" although the text itself contains many detailed explanations and answers to Michaelis' questions. hardcover

MUHAMMAD SADIQ SHERIF [BEY], (1832-1902).
[HEJAZ TOPOGRAPHY / TRAVEL ACCOUNT OF ARABIA] Mâder-i Duniâ: Ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyet-i Osmaniyesine takaddüme-i sükraniyye. [i.e. Mother of the Earth].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Foolscap 8vo. (17 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 152 p. Roumi: 1324 = Gregorian: 1906. Taken from a volume including multiple books. Spine is restored. A very good copy. First and only edition of this early and extensively rare book including a first-hand account of the topography and descriptions of Hejaz, Mecca, and other parts of Arabian Peninsula such as Taif and Yemen by Sadiq Sherif, who was the first person to take photographs of Mecca, Medina, and the Hajj in 1880 and 1881 as well. Sadiq Sherif was the grandson of Serif Abdulmuttalib, the Emîr of Mecca. This book written by Sherif was dedicated to 'the Progress and Union Society' [i.e. Ittihad ve Terakki Cemiyeti]. The book describes the way of administration and territorial division of Hejaz after giving some information of its geography, borders, tribes and natives, mountains, rivers, crops and products, and animals of this Ottoman 'vilâyat' [i.e. province]. Sherif gives detailed information on how and when the Ottoman Empire ruled Hejaz, the location of Mecca city, its borders, physical and social geography, crops in Mecca and around, its flora, fauna, demographic structure, 'nahiyes', Kâba's construction, and its history, sacred places around, Masjid-i Haram and other masjids, cemeteries, mountains, gifts by Ottoman caliphs to Kaba, 'Taif' area, people who were 'Emîr' of Mecca from the period of Mohammad, Wahhabism and its birth, etc. At the last, Sherif gives place to his personal letter (layihâ) including 49 articles. The letter was about the reforms that Hejaz needs and it was sent to the Ottoman 'sadâret' [i.e. prime ministry]. (Source: History of geographical literature during the Ottoman Empire, Edited by Ihsanoglu). Muhammad Sadiq Sherif Bey was the first person to take photographs of Mecca, Medina, and the Hajj in 1880 and 1881. Sadiq Bey trained as a military engineer after completing his studies in Cairo and at the École Polytechnique in Paris. It is not known when, or from whom, Sadiq Bey learned to take photographs but it was most probably through one of the resident photographers in Egypt. In 1861, prompted by the need to carry out more extensive military land surveys of the area between Wajh and Medina, Sadiq Bey made his first journey to Arabia. He took a camera along with his surveying equipment and took his very first photographs of Medina. In a series of articles published in the Egyptian Military Gazette in 1877, he refers to his early photography at Medina describing the use of a 'photographia'. Sadly, however, none of the photographs from this first journey has survived. In 1880 he was appointed as the treasurer of the Mahmal, the ornate cloth to cover the Ka'ba brought each year on a special litter to Mecca. He accompanied the Mahmal to Medina and Mecca from September 1880 until January 1881. Again equipped with his camera, he succeeded in producing the series of photographs that are now considered some of the earliest known photographs of the region, those of the Ka'ba, taken under great secrecy. Sadiq Bey published various accounts of his travels in Arabia in military journals, through the Emiry Grand Press in Cairo, but the 1880/81 series of photographs appear to have been issued separately for wider distribution through the Société Khédiviale de Géographie. The society's secretary, Dr. Frederic Bonola, advertised sets of photographs for sale. In January and April 1880 Sadiq Bey gave a talk and report to the society on his earlier 1861 expedition, and on 20 May 1881 he presented a report on his recent journey to Mecca; detailed accounts were published in the society's bulletins, numbers 9/10 and 12.
