PETRA Vincenzo - PESSINA Enrico.
La guerra saffica tra V. Petra ed E. Pessina.
L'opera è un'aspra polemica tra Vincenzo Petra ed Enrico Pessina, sostenitore quest'ultimo di Arabia Tommaso, al quale venne censurato un suo lavoro, Saffo, messo in scena dalla compagnia diretta da Adamo Alberti. Il successo fu enorme, specie per il fatto che Saffo veniva presentata come incitatrice di virtù civili e patriottiche, ma la censura interruppe le rappresentazioni dopo la dodicesima serata. Parte della critica, soprattutto quella accademica, lo attaccò violentemente e, pur riconoscendone il valore poetico, non rilevò in lui alcuna validità come tragediografo. Dall'Indice: Avvertenza. Sul Saffo di T. Arabia. Intorno alla tragedia. Critica di critica. Polemica. Note alla polemica. Critica di critica. Esemplare perfetto. Brossura cartacea coeva, pp. 43, in 8°

I turcarabi
brossura Una comune inesattezza vuole che, con i termini arabo e turco, si intenda la stessa popolazione, le stesse tradizioni, la stessa lingua, lo stesso credo. In realtà, come l'autore de "I Turcarabi" sottolinea fortemente, è ingiusto catalogare sotto la stessa etichetta due popoli che, in comune, hanno perlopiù un ideale, quello della religione musulmana, ma che, per la loro storia e il loro carattere, risultano assolutamente differenti.

PHILBY, H. St. J. B.
Jauf and the North Arabian Desert - 10
Title: Jauf and the North Arabian Desert. Author: H. St. J. B. Philby Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1923. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: Philby recounts a journey made in 1922 together with railway engineer Major Holt, through Jordan to Jauf [Al Jawf Region, Al-Jouf] and into Iraq as far as Karbala, for the purpose of investigating the area's unstable political situation, and to examine possibilities of building a railway in the Wadi Sirhan valley. Beginning with a fascinating summary of a most unstable government indeed, Philby describes an ongoing power struggle between two dynasties, inter-tribal raids, a slave governor being murdered, betrayals and quarrels over land, so forth. The pair travelled to Medina, to the volcanic lava field of Harrat al-Shamah where they found some Safaitic inscriptions on stone, then to Sakaka where they stayed for nine days, and eventually arriving at the Al-Ukhaidir Fortress and the city of Karbala [Iraq], to be hosted by the Arab governor. Choosing a safe route was imperative as rebel holdings were prolific, particularly in the Al-Jawf Region. Once their mission was accomplished they made their way north for Ramadi, from where a flight would take them back to Amman. Interesting accounts describe inhospitable places and encounters, most notably the house of Sha'lan whose members were able to impede the expedition for some time. Philby's observations further include the important village of Kaf and its citizens, the Quraiyat salt -pans which are worked by the Badawin [Bedouins]; the plain of Ithra and its settlement of the black tents of the Ruwalla; the vast, dazzling, white salt marsh of Nuqrat al Hadhaudha, the prominent landmark of Kharana; Shaib Shanmari and in Jauf itself, the great medieval Arab fortress of Qasr Marid, the ruins of the hamlets of Suq and Suq al Hattab, the Safaitic inscriptions at Harrat; at the Sultan's invitation, a visit to Sakaka; the oasis of Qara; Suluba; the wells of Abal Dufuf; the magnificent ruins of Ukhaidir; Abu Dibis and Amadi. Photographic plates provide excellent visuals from the journey. Philby's account is accompanied by a large highly detailed fold-out colour map and a report by Major A. L. Holt titled, "The Future of the North Arabian Desert," which outlines his work in terms of developing communications through the desert, and a compelling argument promoting the desert as an important trade route. Holt accompanied Philby on his extraordinary Arabian adventure. At the time of this expedition, Philby was chief head of the Secret Service in Mandatory Palestine (since November 1921), working with T. E. Lawrence and meeting his American counterpart, Allen Dulles. 8vo. Two reports, 39 pages combined, plus a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 59 x 34 cm, and photographic plates for illustration. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Excerpt from the text: "We left Amman on 10 March 1922... my personal preference... camels over mechanical transport in the real desert... in country where no organized route exists" "... The introduction of modern firearms has been a curse and veritable scourge to Arabia and its independent, individualistic denizens... the Arab social code of raid and rapine has not shown any signs as of yet of adjusting itself..." "... the northern desert of Arabia is at the present moment unsafe in the widest sense of the term - unsafe for the innocent traveller, the merchant, and the shepherd - there are already signs of a welcome change in the south, where Ibn Sa'ud has created a well-knit polity on a religious basis and has found himself strong enough to prohibit tribal raiding within his borders." "Our reception by the authorities of Kaf was cordial enough though guarded.... We were not allowed to visit the natural fortress ... called Qasr Sa'idi... a small guard of some twenty-five men with machine guns... Kaf is commanded by this eminence..." "... within a month of our sojourn at Jauf, we heard of the downfall of the house of Sha'lan at the hands of Ibn Sa'ud. As rulers they were detested by their own people, whom they treated with insolent harshness..." "Every human seen in the desert is an enemy, and the weaker party must make its best speed away if it would escape death." End Excerpt. Harry St John Bridger Philby, Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) (1885-1960), also known as Jack Philby or Sheikh Abdullah, was a British Arabist, explorer, writer, colonial office intelligence officer, and adviser to the first monarch of Saudi Arabia. Philby joined the British Foreign Service in 1917 and was the first European to visit the southern desert of Arabia. He was the first European to enter Abha, the capital of Najran, the frontier district between the Wahhabis and the Yemenites, and the second to visit Shabwa, although he was the first to explore the ruins where he discovered the great temple of Astarte. During Philby's explorations of Arabia, he came into contact with Ibn Saud, and was greatly influenced by the Wahabi ideology and culture, converting to Islam and renouncing his faith in Christianity.

PHILBY, H. ST. John B.
Rub' Al Khali: An Account of Exploration in the Great South Desert of Arabia.
26 pages. Plus black and white photographic plates and large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 15 x 15 inches (38 x 38cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Accompanied by a spectacular descriptive colour map, this is Philby's first-hand expedition report on early explorations into unknown regions of Arabia, under the auspices and patronage of His Majesty `Abdul `Aziz ibn Sa`ud, King of the Hejaz and Nejd and its Dependencies. Philby continues where Bertram Thomas left off - "ninety days of wanderings across Arabia by way of the Rub'al Khali" in this riveting narrative. Key to Philby's compelling story telling is his attention to detail: we learn of the breed of camels employed for the gruelling expedition - Umaniya - best of all strains; of the characters of the eighteen strong party - their fear and reluctance to navigate the Empty Quarter and the presence of evil omen; descriptions of adherence to the fast of Ramadhan, condemning the party to thirty hungry days with nothing to eat or drink between daybreak and sunset. Philby's central objective lay in as complete an observation as possible of the Jafura desert, an extensive northward continuation of the sands of the Great South Desert reaching from the line Jaub-Jabrin to within a few miles of the Hasa oasis and skirted on the east by the esturay-like depressions known as Jiban. Features Anbak, settlement of antiquity and small oasis; Qasr ibn Dahbash, Jabrin District; Dharbun ridge; arrival at Wabar; the sand slopes of Naifa; Hadhat al Hawaya and many more locations. Includes fascinating discussion of the Murra tribes people; the search for Maqainama or Magan; the wells of Bir Fadhil; the discovery of an unexpected volcano and craters at Wabar, mythical site of an ancient civilization and much more.

PHILBY, H. ST. John B.
The Land of Sheba.
Notes & Condition: Philby, a famed Arabian explorer and father of master spy Kim Philby, renounced British policy, became a Moslem, and joined the Wahabis. This expedition report Predates Philby's Book, entitled, Sheba's Daughters, Being a Record of Travel in Southern Arabia, With an Appendix on the Rock Inscriptions by A.F.L.Beeston, First Published in 1939. The account of a journey made by the author, Ibn Saud’s official adviser, from the King’s camp on the Mecca to Riyadh road to the Indian Ocean. Philby was the first European to enter Abha, the capital of Najran, the frontier district between the Wahhabis and the Yemenites, and the second to visit Shabwa, although he was the first to explore the ruins where he discovered the great temple of Astarte. An excellent account of Philby's travels in southern Arabia, particularly the Hadhramaut in 1936. The longest of Philby's journeys, ostensibly to map the new frontier with Yemen. Until the 1930's the highlands of south-west corner of Arabia were among the world's few remaining lands not fully explored or charted. Into that region Philby, author and explorer, made two journeys, the first in 1932, and the second in 1936 and 1937. This important Arabian Expedition is an account of exploration, containing valuable material on the Yemeni-Saudi borders, and excellent quality photographs taken for the first time in that area by a European. This narrative was published within two complete monthly issues, July and August, of the Geographical Journal.This is August issue only, 26 pages, plus black and white photographic plates and a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 14 x 24 inches (35 x 61cm). This issue is in original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ad, seldom found in such good and original condition.

PIERALISI, Sante
Osservazioni sul Musaico di Palestrina. [Observations on the Palestrina Mosaic]
Large Folio, measuring 56cm x 39cm (15.5 inches x 22 inches). Original printed wrappers. Text is in Italian. [6], 72, [2] pages, plus 7 engraved plates, 5 of which are double-page. Wrappers chipped at extremities, occasional foxing, otherwise in very good condition. Scarce valuable resource on Ptolemaic Egypt. A scarce account, rarely seen in original wrappers, Pieralisi's treatise is a noteworthy study of the late Hellenistic Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, which depicts Ptolemaic Egypt and dates to circa 100 B.C. The author, Don Sante Pieralisi, was a librarian of the Barberini Library in Rome with access to many early scholars' works. The mosaic's history and construction are described, followed by a presentation of some early and compelling theories of interpretation and dating, by such scholars as Barthelemy, Antonio Nibby, Carlo Fea, and Cassiano dal Pozzo (secretary to Francesco Barberini who was largely responsible for its restoration). Much history of ancient Egyptian life can be drawn from the mosaic scenes, including the Nile's yearly flooding, Nubian hunters, mythical or extinct creatures, Egyptian-Roman trade, contrasts between peasant dwellings and palatial life, the rise of magnificent walled cities guarded by Egyptian soldiers, etc. Remarkable engravings reproduce details of the historic masterpiece. The celebrated Nile mosaic dates to circa 100 B.C. during rule of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the last dynasty of Ancient Egypt (305 BC to 30 BC) and forms an interesting connections between ancient Egyptian and Roman civilizations, and the its essence of its design has, for several centuries, been the center of much speculation. Shortly after publication, the observations by Don Sante Pieralisi accompanied the mosaic on display in the Palazzo Barberini, where it had been placed by Prince Barberini after restoration mid-seventeenth century. Equally interesting is a chapter dedicated to the Rosetta Stone, the ancient stele decree issued at Memphis, also during the Ptolemaic dynasty. The author relates details of the French expedition to Egypt which uncovered it in 1799, and the controversial repossession and transfer to England following the Capitulation of Alexandria. He further presents important details of the temples of Apis, Serapis, and Venus at Memphis, other hidden tombs of Memphis, and pertinent Egyptian rulers.
