Patmut'iwn Sebeosi episkoposi i Herakln
Konstandnupolis [Constantinople], Tparan Yohannu Miuhentisean 1851 [16] + 239 + [3] pp., 19x13cm., text in Armenian, amateur hardcover binding with traces of use, few old stamps (on French title page, and on first page of preface and text), text is clean and bright, cfr. OCLC 1265049692, [This is the very rare first publication of the "History of Bishop Sebeos on Heraclius", based on a 1672 manuscript and a 1568 manuscript which has since been lost. It is a key work for the historiography of Armenia, and most important source for its history of the 6th and 7th centuries. This account not only deals with Armenia, but focuses on a broader geographical scope including Byzantium, Iran and the early Muslim world. According to the English historian J. Howard-Johnston "the history is the single most important source on the ending of classical antiquity" (stated in his commentary for the critical 1999-edition of Sebeos)], X119781

SHEIKH MOSLEHEDIN SAADI SHIRAZI, (1193-1292).
[A SPECIAL EDITION OF SHIRAZI'S BUSTAN] The Bûstân of Sheikh-e Moslehedin Ajal Saadi Shirazi. [i.e. The Orchard]. Translated into English by G[eorge] M[ichael] Wickens, (1918-2006). Introduction by Dr. Hossein Rajmdjou.
Very Good English Original fine grey-brown cloth bdg. Boards have titled bilingual in Persian and English, with the Iranian Commission for UNESCO logo. Brown endpapers. Large roy. 8vo. (24,5 x 18 cm). In Persian and English, not parallel texts. Text in English pp. i-244; in Persian pp. 1-199. One of a good printing in terms of the accordance of a western and an eastern language. Persian text starts from the right, English one is from left. [xii], [1 blank], 244, 199, 10 p. First Edition, thus. Slightly foxing on edges, a presentation inscription by pen. Overall a very good copy. Abû-Muhammad Muslih al-Dîn bin Abdallâh Shîrâzî, (1193-1292), better known by his pen name Saadi (or, Sadi, Sa'di), was a major Persian poet and prose writer of the medieval period. He is recognized for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts. Saadi is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets of the classical literary tradition, earning him the nickname "The Master of Speech" or "The Wordsmith" (Ostâd-e soxan) or simply "Master" [Ostad] among Persian scholars. He has been quoted in the Western traditions as well. Bustan has been ranked as one of the 100 greatest books of all time by The Guardian. Bustan [i.e. The Orchard] completed in 1257and it's entirely in verse (epic meter). It consists of stories aptly illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims (justice, liberality, modesty, contentment) and reflections on the behavior of dervishes and their ecstatic practices. Gulistan is mainly in prose and contains stories and personal anecdotes. The text is interspersed with a variety of short poems that contain aphorisms, advice, and humorous reflections, demonstrating Saadi's profound awareness of the absurdity of human existence. The fate of those who depend on the changeable moods of kings is contrasted with the freedom of the dervishes. Saadi is also remembered as a panegyrist and lyricist, the author of a number of odes portraying human experience, and also of particular odes such as the lament on the fall of Baghdad after the Mongol invasion in 1258. His lyrics are found in Ghazaliyat [i.e. Lyrics] and his odes in Qasa'id [i.e. Odes]. He is also known for a number of works in Arabic. George Michael Wickens, (1918-2006), the translator of this edition, was a distinguished Canadian-British Persianist as well as Arabist, translator, and a University lecturer. Wickens was fluent in Persian and Arabic and was one of the pioneering figures of Persian literature in Canada. He translated several masterpieces of Persian literature as Boostan of Sa'di into English. (Source: Wikipedia).

SHEIKH MOSLEHEDIN SAADI SHIRAZI, (1193-1292).
[CYPRUS IMPRINT - THE BOOK OF ADVICES - PERSIAN LITERATURE] Pendnama of Shykh Sadee, being a compendium of ethics, in verse, by that celebrated poet = Pendnâme-i Seyh Sadi, ilm-i ahlâktan hûlâsa. Translated into English by William Carmichael Smyth Esq. Late of the Hon. East India Company's Bengal Civil Service, rendered in Turkish verse by [Vizeli] Ali Riza Ibni Emin [Kayikçioglu], Professor of Turkish Language of English School Cyprus.
Very Good English Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (19,5 x 13,5 cm). In English, Persian, and Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 26 p. Abû-Muhammad Muslih al-Dîn bin Abdallâh Shîrâzî, (1193-1292), Persian poet and prose writer, widely recognized as one of the greatest masters of the classical literary tradition. His influence is not limited to Persian literature. He also deeply affected Turkish and Urdu literature and the Western world (Encyclopadiae Iranica). Bostan [i.e. the Orchard] and Gulistan [i.e. the Rose Garden], his famous Works, were translated into many languages and commented. Pendname is one of Sa'dî's poetical works. In this ethical-based work, ethical values such as science, justice, consenting to fate, honesty, patience, generosity, modesty, and grace are praised. Bad habits such as talking to ignorant, cruelty, lie, arrogance, and stinginess are badly criticized. The Persian text of Sa'dî's Pendname, it's an English translation, and Ottoman Turkish translation in verse were printed together in the early 20th century. The work is about some moral characteristics that are seen as "acceptable and submissive" in societies and have been recited with the idea of benefiting people. (Source: A BOOK ON ETHICAL LITERATURE: SAADI'S PENDNAME, Melek Dikmen). Major William Henry Carmichael-Smyth, (1780-1861), was a British military officer in the service of the East India Company and an orientalist. In 1797, at the age of seventeen, he was commissioned into the Bengal Artillery. In 1803, the Second Anglo-Maratha War broke out, and he was present at the battles of Aligarh, Delhi, and Laswari. Carmichael-Smyth returned to India in 1810 as a captain and served in the Invasion of Java in 1811. Thereafter he returned to Bengal and went to Callinger as a field engineer where he was mentioned in dispatches for exemplary valor in 1812. He returned to England in 1820 and was elevated to Major in 1821. Not in Özege.; OCLC 50021435, 1065323294.

SHEIKH ÂGÂ BOZORG-E TEHRÂNÎ (Shaikh Mohammad-Mohsen), (Shiite scholar and bibliographer), (1876-1970).
Tabaqât-e a'lâm al-Shî'a. Nuqabâ' al-Bashar fî al-Qarn al-Râbi' 'Ashar. 6 volumes set. Edited by Sayyid Muhammad Tabatabyi Behbahani.
New Arabic Original full crown leather bdg. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Arabic. 6 volumes set: ([63], 3555 p.). Tabaqât-e a'lâm al-Shî'a. Nuqabâ' al-Bashar fî al-Qarn al-Râbi' 'Ashar. 6 volumes set. Edited by Sayyid Muhammad Tabatabyi Behbahani. Tehrani was born on 11 Rabi?a I 1293/6 April 1876, into a mercantile family of Tehran that had strong religious interests; his father, ?âjj 'Ali, participated actively in the celebrated tobacco boycott of 1308/1891 and later wrote a book on the history of the movement. Aqa Bozorg received his initial education from private tutors in Tehran before proceeding to the ?atabat in 1315/1897. (1313/1895 in Rahnema-ye ketab, p. 525), where he spent the rest of his life, with the exception of four brief return visits to Iran and two short journeys to Syria, Egypt, and the ?ejaz. Among his teachers in Najaf were A?und Molla Mo?ammad-Ka?em ?orasani, Sayyed Mo?ammad-Ka?em Yazdi, Say?-al-sari?a E?fahani and ?ajji Mirza ?osayn Nuri. He was particularly close to the first of these, working as his amanuensis and assisting in the composition of his major work on feqh, al-Kefaya. On the death of ?orasani in 1329/1911, he left Najaf for Samarra to join the circle of Mirza Mo?ammad-Taqi Sirazi. He stayed there until 1354/1935, returning then to Najaf which remained his home until his death. While in Samarra, he conceived, and began to execute, the plan of a comprehensive bibliographical survey of all classes of literature produced by Shi?ite authors. His original intention was to refute a statement by the Christian Arab litterateur, Jorji Zaydan, belittling the Shi?ite contribution to Arabic letters. However, the survey that Aqa Bozorg produced, al-?ari?a ela ta?anif al-si?a, went far beyond this polemical purpose to become the main achievement of his career and a major contribution to Islamic scholarship. In al-?ari?a, the titles of all books written by Shi?ite authors are listed alphabetically, together with a brief indication of authorship and content, as well as place and date of publication in the case of printed works, and location in the case of manuscripts. Aqa Bozorg returned to Najaf in 1354/1935 and established a press (Ma?ba?at al-sa?ada) to print the first volume of al-?ari?a, but was soon obliged to sell it (see Rahnema-ye ketab, p. 526). Other arrangements were then made for the printing in Najaf of the second and third volumes, but all subsequent volumes-with the exception of the thirteenth and fourteenth-were published in Tehran. Twenty-two volumes have appeared to date; seven more await publication (For full bibliographical details concerning al-?ari?a, see ?akimi, pp. 543-45). Aqa Bozorg also compiled a biographical dictionary of Shi?ite scholars as a companion to al-?ari?a. The dictionary has the general title ?abaqat a?lam al-si?a, but each section, pertaining to the scholars of a given century, also has a separate title. Three sections have been published so far: Nawabe? al-rowwat fi rabe?at al-me?at (Beirut, 1390/1970), dealing with Shi?ite traditionists of the 4th Islamic century; al-Keram al-mobarrara fi'l-qarn al-?ale? ba?d al-?asara (Najaf, 1374-77/1954-57), on scholars of the 13th century; and Noqaba? al-basar fi'l-qarn al-rabe? ?asar (Najaf, 1373-88/1953-68), on scholars of the 14th century (?akimi, pp. 549-51). In addition to these multi-volume works, Aqa Bozorg wrote a number of less voluminous books, including a survey of some 600 biographers of Shi?ite traditionists, Mo?affa 'l-maqal fi mo?annefi al-rejal (Tehran, 1337 S./1958); a biography of Mirza ?asan Sirazi, Hadiyat al-razi ela 'l-mojadded al-Sirazi (Najaf, 1392/1972, Pers. tr., Mirza-ye Sirazi, Tehran, 1362/1983); a polemic against Sunni concept of ejtehad, Tawzi? al-rasad fi ta?ri? ?a?r al-ejtehad (unpublished); and a defense of the textual integrity of the Koran, al-Naqd al-la?if fi nafy al-ta?rif ?an al-Qor?an al-sarif (unpublished); and a brief biography of Shaikh Abu Ja?far ?usi (Zendagani-e Say? ?usi, Tehran, 1360 S.
