SCOTT, Hugh
A Journey to the Yemen.
29 pages, including an in-text sketch map. Plus photographic plates, one of which is double-sided fold-out panoramas. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Stamp of the Royal Asiatic Society to front cover, otherwise this is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The author's arduous journey, led him into the highlands of central Yemen, at altitudes of over 9,000 and sometimes up to 10,000 feet, known to very few Europeans and to only a handful of British at the time. The northernmost point reached was about 12 miles north of Sana and over 200 miles north of Aden. Originating in a desire to compare fauna and flora, Scott also harboured a geographical interest and the report also describes the mosques of Dhala, the characterisitcs of dress and customs of the Jewish communities in southern Arabia, the dhurra harvest procedure of the tribesmen of Jebel Jihaf, the most remarkable city of Ibb, and San'a, the then largest city in the south of Arabia. Featuring the first ever agricultural show to be held in the Aden Protectorate, in Dhala; the villagers of Al Muriah and the tomb of Weli Isma'il; discussion of the rise of the Zaidi sect, named from Zaid, descendant of Ali, son-in-law of the prophet; the hot springs of Huwemi; descriptions of Ta'izz, the most beautiful city in the Yemen; a meeting with the 'Amil of Yarim; vivid depictions of old San'a: houses, mosques; the Jews of south-western Arabia; a private audience with the Imam in San'a. The author illustrates his journey most impressively with sketch illustration and an abundance of plates, including one which is a double-sided fold-out of panoramic views. Also includes an appendix relaying information on general use of the drug, Qat.

SHEIKH SINAN AL-RÛMÎ.
[ARABIC MANUSCRIPT / RITES AND ROUTES FOR PILGRIMAGE AND TRAVELERS] Manâsik al-Hajj. Calligrapher and copied by Ahmed b. Muhammed b. Suleyman.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary 1/3 leather bdg. with cloth spine. Leather boards. Restored. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Arabic. [138] p. Slightly chipped extremities of papers. Occasionally stained on pages, wear on binding. Text is fine. Including 'kataba'. The routine, predictable, yet exhaustive nature of the journey Ottoman pilgrims endured may have discouraged them from recording their journeys. The route was relatively well-defined, and the caravan orderly and well-protected. Moreover, Ottoman pilgrims, unlike Christian travelers, were traveling across the lands of the same state, thus seeing people of the same Muslim culture, without needing to speak different languages, use different currencies, or negotiate borders between states. The uniqueness and peculiarity of a journey would motivate the traveler to record it and the result would be of interest to an audience. As for the Ottomans, if the texts which were composed to help future pilgrims with practical information are excluded, the majority of known narratives, are written by those authors such as Ahmed Fakih, Fevri, Evliya Çelebi, Nabi, and Shaikh Sinan er-Rûmî who undertook at least some parts of their journeys independently of the official caravan. Texts which seem to have been intended simply to provide practical information either on the stations or on the rites of the hajj or on both are defined as guidebooks. These texts appear not to be based on a particular pilgrimage journey, regardless of the fact that their authors might have performed the hajj. This manuscript starts with 'Bayân al-Menâzil Beyt Al-Sam wa al-Qabah' [i.e. Descriptions and stations from Damascus to Mecca] including a very detailed routes' list with their times hour by hour. 40 routes and hours probably by mounts and/or walking between Damascus and Mecca, Qaba. Other chapters of the text include rites and routes like "Farziyyat of Hajj, Ihram, Mukhrima, entry to Mecca-i Muqarrama, tawaf, Sa'y between Safa and Marwa, Arafat in Mecca, Muzdalifa from Arafat, Ef'al in Mina, Umra, Taawaf al-Vedâ, Qabr-i Sharif in Medina al-Munawwara, etc. Sheikh Sinan Al-Roumi's manasik al-hajj is one of the most important and famous ones in the hajj literature of the Islamic world. It was a mostly used reference book among Muslim pilgrims, especially in the Ottoman world. Calligrapher and copied by Ahmed b. Muhammed b. Suleyman. Text in black ink and important headings in red ink on paper with 'ahar'. A fine paper suitable for calligraphy. A very good example from the first half of the 18th century.

Simone Rosario
A come Arabia. Dizionario geo-sentimentale del mondo arabo
br. L'idea della "forma-dizionario" me l'ha suggerita involontariamente mio figlio. Capitava di guardare insieme il telegiornale, e se dicevano: "bombardamenti su Sana'a oppure "combattimenti a Sirte", lui immancabilmente chiedeva: "Papà, dov'è Sana'a?" oppure "dove si trova Sirte?". Mi sono accorto che le conoscevo tutte, quelle città. In alcune ci avevo vissuto, di altre conservavo un ricordo impresso in un frangente di solo poche ore. Assai umilmente, ho cercato sempre di seguire due stelle comete: Jack Kerouac e Ibn Battuta, due caratteri e due approcci diametralmente opposti. Per Jack Kerouac la meta del viaggio era la strada stessa. Ho visto coi miei occhi il manoscritto del suo capolavoro srotolato in una enorme sala. È il tracciato di un cammino di cui non ha senso cercare di individuare la meta. Ardentemente, Ibn Battuta desiderava invece raggiungere "quella" città o "quel" mausoleo, fino a quando non ci aveva messo piede. Per me il viaggio è entrambe le cose: l'atto stesso di spostarsi e l'anelito di toccare con le proprie mani proprio quella cosa e non altro. Lo stridore fra l'intimo ricordo e gli scenari tragici che avvolgono oggi molti di questi luoghi è in animo mio ciò che dolorosamente mette insieme tutto ciò.

SKRINE, C. P.
The Highlands of Persian Baluchistan.
20 pages. Plus photographic plates and a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 8 x 15 inches (20 x 38cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Some crease to pages and wrappers, otherwise this is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. The author focuses on the plateau of Sarhad, including the massive Kih-i-Taftan volcano, a region which he names 'the Highlands of Persian Baluchistan,' both because of the pre-eminent height of its mountain masses and because of the traditional wildness and ferocity of the hill tribes which inhabit it. The then Persian sub-province of Baluchistan was formerly a part of the Kerman Ayalat. Skrine describes interesting Sarhad features from various perspectives: botany, geology, ethnology and history. Featuring the earth pillar at Tamindan, descriptions of Sarhad's capital - Vasht or Khwash; the indigenous Damanis; Gwarkuh; Bazman; the Ropask glen and the tombs of the Seventy Mullahs; the people of Anjirak; aboriginal Sarhaddis and the Shrine of the Chihil Tan or Forty Beings, Mecca of Sarhad.

Smith, Charles Stewart
Explorations in Zanzibar Dominions - Vol II
16 pages. Plus a title page and two colour maps in one sheet. 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. Fascinating narrative of the Lieut. Smith's journey to Mpuemu and the Rovuma as well as his exploration in the Shimba country, accompanied by the itinerary of his travels and two colour route maps, showing his journey from Kilwa to Lindi, and his travel route from Tanga to Kilindini, near Mombasa. The purpose of Smith's travel was to provide information on the slave-trade, to encourage the development of commerce, and to assist the native authorities. After receiving the status of Vice-Consul from John Kirk, Smith was stationed at Kilwa Kivinji on May 1884, from where he made his first journey towards Mpuemu and the Rovuma, in which he interacts with the people of the Muta district who according to him sell their children for food, sighted a caravan of 10 to 15 slaves about 30 miles from Kilwa, and met two slave women who had escaped and traveled with him briefly. In his second journey, Smith explores the Shimba country and provides vivid and very detailed description of the natives.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

The Bronzes of Luristan
Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads!!! Notes & Condition: This is an exceptional report detailing the author's journey into little-known Luristan and her facinating archeaological findings. She travelled from Nihavand over the Varazan Pass to Khava, then to Alishtar and back again though Khava to Difan, Chavarti, Duliskan and finally to Tudaru. In 1931 Stark had attempted to reach the middle of Luristan, the country of Tarhan east of the Saidmarreh river, where ancient tombs were rich in bronzes, but she was prevented entry by the Persian Police. Excerpt from the text: "I have written elsewhere the account of the actual travelling and its adventures, and will confine myself to what concerns the graves and their possible history. Special interest has been centred on those graves which are said to contain the trappings of horses and chariots, for the origins of the people who used such things may throw light on the coming of the horse into Persia.... I found a few older objects among the Islamic in Alishtar: some glass beads, silver earrings of the usual Luristan type, and a bronze arrow-head; but could not ascertain the exact spot where they had been found." End Excerpt. 8vo. 8 pages, plus 2 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. This account pre-dates Stark's "The Valley of the Assassins: And Other Persian Travels," first published in 1934.

STEIN, Sir Aurel
Alexander's Campaign on the Indian North-West Frontier.
50 pages, in two consecutive issues as published. Plus photographic illustrations, and a fold-out color map measuring approximately 9 x 7.5 inches (23 x 19cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Two complete issues, seldom found in such good and original condition. The famous author's groundbreaking explorations between Upper Swat and the Indus in 1926 are passionately recounted by him in this preliminary report. During the archaeological tour of Graeco-Buddhist remains in Swat (now in the far north of Pakistan), Stein located Alexander's trail and traced it to Pir Sar at a bend in the Indus. Stein's main object was indeed to personally follow the track of Alexander the Great in the region, as far as it was accessible outside of Afghanistan. Prior to the discussion of the exploits described in this work, this region was beyond the administrative border of the Indian North-West Frontier, and was inaccessible to Europeans. This is the first major Western account of these areas. Stein's account pre-dates his important book by two years, "On Alexander's Track to the Indus. Personal Narrative of Explorations on the North-West Frontier of India," first published in 1929. Aurel Stein's surveys were inspired by archaeological and historical interests, and his fascination with the cultures of Cental Asia. Trained as an Orientalist and archaeologist, he planned several expeditions to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles, in the process making valuable topographical surveys and penned down his experiences in his famous books. The routes and battlefields of Alexander’s campaign in the east had been a long-standing interest of Stein’s and whilst surveying for the Indian Government on the North-West frontier he was able to indulge his fascination. (Yakushi S336).

Trained as an orientalist and archaeologists, he planned several expeditions to the interior of Asia and used Sanskrit, Persian, Chinese, Turkish, Greek and Latin as scholarly tools to unlock the geographical puzzles, in the process making valuable topographical surveys and penned down his experiences in his famous books. This expedition took him into the heart of Persia, modern day Iran. Iran has a long and rich history, with some of the most famous conquerors and war lords ever to dominate the continent of Asia. Some of the world's most ancient settlements have been excavated in the Caspian region and on the Iranian plateau; village life began there c.4000 B.C. The Aryans came about 2000 B.C. and split into two main groups, the Medes and the Persians. The Persian Empire founded (c.550 B.C.) by Cyrus the Great was succeeded, after a period of Greek and Parthian rule, by the Sassanid in the early 3d century A.D. Their control was weakened when Arab invaders took (636) the capital, Ctesiphon; it ended when the Arabs defeated the Sassanid armies at Nahavand in 641. With the invasion of Persia the Arabs brought Islam. The Turks began invading in the 10th century. and soon established several Turkish states. The Turks were followed by the Mongols, led by Jenghiz Khan in the 13th century and Timur in the late 14th century.
