‎Skizzen aus dem Orient, gesammelt in den Jahren 1840 und 1841. Nach der Natur und auf Stein gezeichnet von F. Frisch, Hofmaler in Darmstadt, Begleiter des Oberstallmeisters Baron von Taubenheim. Darmstadt, Verlag von Ernst Kern, 1843.‎

‎Oblong 1mo (48 x 63.5 cm). With 6 tinted lithographed plates by Frisch, with captions in German and French below. The first three in the deluxe issue printed by B. Dondorf, Frankfurt am Main, the last three in the regular issue printed by G. Küstner. Original publisher's letterpress printed wrappers, with a list of subscribers and advertisements on the back of the front wrapper. Extremely rare set of six beautifully lithographed plates showing scenes made on a journey to the Middle East to procure Arabian horses for the Royal Wuerttemberg stud farms, by Friedrich Frisch (1813-86), court painter in Darmstadt. In 1840/41 he accompanied the Wuerttemberg chamberlain Wilhelm von Taubenheim (1805-94), the writer Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer (1816-77) and the physician Karl Bopp (1817-47) on a journey to the Middle East to procure Arabian horses for the Royal Wuerttemberg stud farms Weil and Marbach. They first went to Constantinople, where they were welcomed by Sultan Abdülmecid I, continuing to Beirut, Damascus and Jerusalem. In Jaffa they met the Ottoman general Ibrahim Pasha. - The set was originally published in two instalments and available in two issues: a deluxe issue printed with a larger tinted background with white highlights (plates 1-3) and a regular issue (plates 4-6). They show: (1) a rider on a dromedary with a letter to Ibrahim Pasha; (2) the camp of Ibrahim Pasha; (3) three Bedouin horse riders; (4) another scene with Bedouins; (5) the group's passage through the Balkans; and (6) a Turkish courier. All views, except the first, include horses. - Hackländer wrote a short text to accompany the set, but it is not included. Two plates slightly soiled in the margins and some tiny tears along the extremities, otherwise in very good condition. Engelmann, Bibliotheca geographica, p. 123. Thieme/Becker XII, p. 491.

‎Large 8vo. Vol. 1 (out of 5) only. 320 pp. With numerous charts and in-text illustrations, folding map at rear. Burgundy cloth ruled and stamped in blind, covers with bevelled edges, title in gilt, with a colour map of Russia and Northeast Asia decorating the front cover. First volume of this illustrated history on the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 in Ottoman Turkish, featuring numerous in-text illustrations and a large colour folding map depicting China and Manchuria, Korea, Japan, and Russia at the moment of conflict. - The Russo-Japanese war was one of the precipitating events of the 20th century, and played its part in leading Russia towards destabilization and revolution as well as affecting the trajectory of Japan's relations with the West. It is of particular interest to Turkish history and indeed was of great contemporary interest in Ottoman Turkey; the outbreak of war "generated waves of enthusiasm in Turkey as a traditional arch-rival of Russia", though the results of war "on the empire proved disastrous" (Esenbel). Many in Turkey identified with the Japanese, having recently fought and lost territory to Russia themselves. Though the official Ottoman stance was neutrality, in an attempt not to antagonize Russia, individuals felt differently: "When Muslim newspapers celebrated Japan’s defeat of Russia as the victory of the downtrodden Eastern peoples over the invincible West, a Turkish nationalist feminist, Halide Edip, like many other women, named her son Togo after the commander of the Japanese fleet, Admiral Heihachiro Togo" (Esenbel). The Ottoman fascination with the war and with Japan is clear from the text and its numerous illustrations of Japanese people and scenes. - There are at least four Persian translations of this history held in the Afghanistan Digital Library in Kabul, but no copy of the original version, which, interestingly, is always labelled as "unknown Turkish work" by the cataloguer. - Spine shaken and splitting, binding remains firm.

‎L'istituzione della Fondazione Caetani, presso la Reale Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, risale al 1921 (o 1924?), e si deve alla volontà del principe Leone Caetani duca di Sermoneta (1869-1935). Alla base del progetto della Fondazione vi era anche la preoccupazione di Leone Caetani di salvare dalla dispersione i risultati dei suoi studi, la sua biblioteca e il suo archivio, in anni in cui si andava progressivamente affermando il regime fascista in Italia. http://www.lincei-celebrazioni.it/ifondazione_caetani.html‎

‎Galard Terraube, Elie de.‎

‎[French archive on the Arabian horses of Syria and the art of horse training]. Syria, Lebanon, and France, 1919-1936.‎

‎Largely loose or informally bound, 375 x 280 mm. Contents include 1 bound report with 22 silver gelatin print photographs, numerous typed letters and manuscripts prepared for publication, over 100 original drawings of horses or of military scenes, often with extensive notes. Contemporary ribbon-tied black cloth, sans spine, with handwritten label. Extensive archive spanning three decades of French horsemanship, from cavalry battalions in WWI to the development of the sport of dressage, and including unpublished typed and corrected manuscripts, military reports, photographs, original watercolour paintings, and numerous original drawings, at once technical and artistic, of horses in movement. The main individual behind this archive was Captain Elie de Galard Terraube of the French Armée du Levant, member of the prominent de Galard family and nephew of Marie-Henri de Mauléon, himself the author of "Méthod de Dressage", a 19th century manual on horse training. - Though most of the record is loose in folders, several pieces are informally bound. The most notable is "Rapport [...] sur les chevaux Arabes de Syrie, leur achat, leur transport en France" dated 1923 in Hama, Syria, and directed to the French Minister of War. At the time the Minister would have been André Maginot, most famous for his design of the Maginot Line. However, the report states its purpose as "Au sujet d'achat de chevaux des tribus Bédoines pour l'Agriculture" rather than for warfare. Stationed among the Bedouin tribes of Syria during the French Mandate period, de Galard Terraube provides 22 photographs of individual horses and horse dealers, notes on horse breeds and those who sell them, and a hand-inked map titled "Tribus Arabes de Syrie" illustrating the summer and winter residences of seven tribes, listed as: Rouallah [Ruwallah], Fedaan, Sbaa [likely Sba'a-'Abada], Maqualis, Haddidyne, Faquaras, and Beni Khaled [Bani Khalid]. - Another informally bound piece is an unpublished typescript on the work of de Galard Terraube's uncle, Mauléon, with a hand-drawn cover titling it "Méthod de Dressage du Mis. de Mauléon" and dated 1936; evidently, de Galard Terraube wished to have it published and used in French cavalry units, and much of the material relates to this endeavour. Additionally, there is a folder of hundreds of drawings, from polished watercolours to sketches, many labeled, most on the subject of horses: the use of the bit, the pose of the head and legs, etc. Several are on the subject of a soldiers' training instead, illustrating in watercolour how to stabilize a sniper rifle in various situations, often with the help of a second soldier. Numerous further typed pages and letters authored by de Galard Terraube on the subject of horse training. - The earliest of the material are four telegrams dating from 1919 and discussing ranks and responsibilities. Alongside these is an 870 x 370 mm original hand-drawn map titled "312e Brigade" and inked in black, red, and blue. The map shows a detailed series of fortifications presumably under the command of the 312th Brigade. Another informal map shows similar fortifications. - Altogether a thorough archive of French military, cavalry, and general equestrian history at an intersection with Syrian and Bedouin history and the history of the horse trade. Some wear from handling, in general quite good.‎

‎Gulf Bird Watchers Newsletter. Issues 1-24. [Bahrain], 1969-1971.‎

‎320 x 260 mm. 24 issues bound as one. With one map. Housed in contemporary Brinco binder. A rare and complete run of the Gulf Bird Watchers' Newsletter, a record of bird-watching in Bahrain and other Arabian Gulf states. The newsletter was put together by Michael Gallagher, who also authored "The Birds of Oman" (1980), as a way for largely English-speaking inhabitants of the Gulf States to compare sightings, exchange tips and aid with transport, and to provide a resource for bird watchers across the region. - The newsletter started out as meeting minutes from a group of eighteen bird watchers, but encouraged reader submissions. Birders submit recent reports of sightings, along with questions: "Caspian Terns [...] Do they breed nearby?" and lists of birding books purchased en masse from England and available for a small fee. Much focus is on the birds of Bahrain in particular, with reports of Reef Herons, curlews, black headed gulls, and cormorants near Sharjah and of various doves in the desert. Rare sightings receive particular attention: a Great Gray Shrike is seen "near Sar" on 4 July 1969, and a Water Rail, "the first since Spring 1967, was identified in the Janabya reed beds". With numerous lists of sightings, queries, and advice on how to preserve dead specimens. In later years a Sea Bird Report is added due to popular demand, and reports on sightings in the Gulf itself ("Phalaropes: These attractive birds are back again in the Gulf of Oman"). Complimenting the sea reports is a map titled "Sketch Map to Accompany Summary of the Bird Sightings of Captain Chilman During 1967, 1968 & 1969", illustrating the tanker routes through the Gulf from which these observations take place, and carefully noting a curious "NO BIRDS AREA" in the midst of the Gulf. - Altogether, a complete and engaging record of birding in Bahrain and surroundings. Well preserved. OCLC 18723858.‎

Marbled endpapers. Leading edges gilt. All edges red. Original edition of the first book published by the French orientalist Antoine Galland (1646-1715), soon to be famous for his influential translation of Alf Layla wa-Layla. "Galland, professor of Arabic at the Collège de France since 1709, had made three journeys to Turkey, the Levant and Palestine, and approached the Orient without prejudice and with an open mind. Following the example of Plutarch's Apophthegmata and the anecdote collections of Valerius Maximus, he set about collecting from Arabic, Persian, and Turkish works, such as the chronicles of Makin, of Bar Hebraeus, of Mirchond, from the Matla' us-sa'dain of Abdarrazzaq, from the Tag ut-tavarikh of Hodsha Effendi, from Sa'adi's Gulistan, from Latifi and other sources, remarkable sayings to show his readers that the orientals did not rank behind the West for wit, powers of observation, and pithiness of expression. To these he appended maxims taken from the collections of sayings published by Erpenius and Golius" (cf. Fück). Although a reissue appeared at Den Haag the same year, the work is very rare; Fück reports that he knows it only from the reprinted text in the supplement to d'Herbelot's Bibliothèque orientale (1780). - Bound first is the sixth edition of La Bruyère's Theophrastus translation, containing 77 new characters, including Le distrait, Onuphre, the portraits of La Fontaine, Jean de Santeul, and others. - Provenance: from the library of the French diplomat and military officer Louis-Robert-Hippolyte Brehant de Plélo (1699-1734), bound for him with his arms stamped in gilt to both covers (OHR, 1715, fer no. 1). Brehant de Plélo married Louise-Françoise Phélipeaux de la Vrilliere, daughter of a secretary of state of Louis XV. He fell during the siege of Danzig on 27 May 1734. Latterly in the collection of the French industrialist and patron Pierre Bergé (1930-2017); acquired from the sale of his estate. I: Chauvin I, 81A. Tchemerzine-Scheler III, 802. Brunet III, 720.

‎Tratado dos descobrimentos antigos, e modernos. Feitos até a Era de 1550, com os nomes particulares das pessoas que os fizerao. Lisbon, Officina Ferreiriana, 1731.‎

‎Folio (202 x 294 mm). (16), 100 pp. Title printed in red and black. With woodcut title vignette and full-page woodcut of the author at the end of the preliminaries. 19th century half cloth. Second edition of Galvao's great history of exploration and voyages, including the Portuguese conquests on the Arabian coast, in the Gulf, and in the Kingdom of Ormus. The first edition, published in 1563, is considered virtually unobtainable, as only some five or six copies are known to exist. "This second edition, says Innocencio, 'has been equally rare for many years, since almost all copies were lost, in the house of a bookdealer, during the Lisbon earthquake'" (Borba de Moraes). Galvao's text was translated in 1601 by Hakluyt, who complained about the rarity of the first edition even then, and had to rely on a copy sent from Lisbon. - Born in 1503, Galvao was sent to India in 1527, and after distinguishing himself there, he was appointed governor of the Moluccas. He maintained a keen interest in military and religious affairs throughout his career, and spent the latter part of his life assembling accounts of the voyages that comprise this collection. He provides a relatively succinct chronological list of ancient and modern discoveries to the year 1550, including those by Columbus, Cabral, Cortés, and Pizarro. "Ce livre est divisé en deux parties: la première traite des premières navigations, y compris celles faites par les Espagnols et les Portugais dans l'océan Atlantique et aux côtes d'Afrique. La seconde partie contient toutes les découvertes faites par les Espagnols et les Portugais en Amérique et aux Indes jusqu'en l'année 1550" (Leclerc). "The author has been styled 'the founder of historical geography'. The book gives a good summary of the geographical explorations of the Portuguese and other important voyagers, including the English" (Hill). - Spine worn.

First editions of Gambano's droll classics on horsemanship featuring H. W. Bunbury's humorous caricatures: a luxury copy with the rare hand-coloured plates included with the first work. "Geoffrey Gambado" has sometimes been identified with the illustrator, but is also said to have been Francis Grose, compiler of "A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue" (cf. Riely, "Horace Walpole and 'the Second Hogarth'", in: ECS 9/1 [1975]). In addition to his works on antiquities, satiric essays, and volumes on non-standard words and meanings, Grose (1731-91) wrote "Rules for Drawing Caricaturas: with an Essay on Comic Painting" (1788), and the frontispiece portrait of "Gambado" in the "Academy" bears an uncanny resemblance to Grose, a "stocky, corpulent figure which Grose himself caricatured" (DNB). - The stipple-engraved plates were designed by H. W. Bunbury (1750-1811), whom "Walpole enthusiastically compared [...] to Hogarth. He was the friend of Goldsmith, Garrick, and Reynolds, and the favourite of the Duke and Duchess of York, to whom in 1787 he was appointed equerry. All this, coupled with the facts that he was seldom, if ever, personal, and wholly abstained from political subjects, greatly aided his popularity with the printsellers and the public of his day, and secured his admission, as an honorary exhibitor, to the walls of the Academy, where between 1780 and 1808 his works frequently appeared [... They] are not without a good deal of grotesque drollery of the rough-and-ready kind in vogue towards the end of the last century - that is to say, drollery depending in a great measure for its laughable qualities upon absurd contrasts, ludicrous distortions, horseplay, and personal misadventure" (DNB). - "The Annals of Horsemanship" were later "published with and generally bound with" the "Academy", though always "with a separate title page" (Huth). The "Academy" seemingly wants fol. B1 of the preliminary matter, but was apparently issued that way: as the ESTC notes, "Possibly deliberately mis-signed in order to support the 'missing' portion of the author's preface - see editor's note". - Some browning and brownstaining; occasional edge tears repaired (including a largish fault to fol. M2, the edges of which are more severely frayed). From the library of the late Robert Lionel Foster, Esq. (British Justice of the Peace, d. 1952; his bookplate on front pastedown). Huth p. 52. Lowndes p. 860. Brunet II, 1474 ("singulier ouvrage"). Graesse III, 22.‎

‎Gastaldi, Giacomo.‎

‎Il Disegno della Terza Parte Dell' Asia. Rome, 1561.‎

‎74 x 48 cm. A fine example of Giacomo Gastaldi's map of Southeast Asia, China, and India, perhaps the single most influential map of the region published in the 16th century. - Gastaldi's map has a remarkable history, one that presents a microcosm of Italian mapmaking in the middle of the 16th century. It begins with the publication of a single section in 1559, which was intended as a separate map. Additional sections were added in 1561, creating the portion of the existing map which extends south to the Equator. In 1565, two additional sections were added, in order to show all of Indonesia and the neighbouring islands as far south as Java Minor. - "In its original form the map extended only to the equator, so that most of the Indonesian islands were not included. To remedy this, in about 1565, two narrow sheets were made by the great Italian engraver Paolo Forlani to supplement the main body of Gastaldi's map [...] This lower addition bears an inscription in the lower left corner which reads 'si vende...' [...] indicating the location of the shop of the publisher Bertelli" (Suarez). - Of all of Gastaldi's Asian continental maps, this one more than any other "had a major influence on the work of Ortelius and de Jode [...] In their representation of the coastlines his maps are superior to all previously known maps of Asia, either drawn by hand or printed" (Schilder, in: The Map Collector 17, p. 7). - On the right-hand side of the map, Gastaldi provides a list of about 100 place names on the map, showing both their ancient and modern names. In his excellent study of Gastaldi's maps of Asia and their relationship to the accounts of Marco Polo's travels, Nordinskold notes that while Gastaldi has clearly incorporated information from Marco Polo's travels, Gastaldi relied also upon the accounts of other contemporary travelers to the East. Most notably, the dedication to Marcus Fugger (1529-97) is strong evidence that Gastaldi had access to the Fugger family library, one of the most important libraries compiled in the 15th and 16th centuries. During the 16th century, the Fugger Library was perhaps the best private library in the world, surpassing even the Vatican Library. - Nordinskold goes on to note: "Finally, it must be remembered that Gastaldi, under the guidance of Ramusio, is supposed to have aided in repairing or repainting the famous wall-maps in Sala dello scudo in Venice [...] If such was the case, it may be considered probable that the monumental maps of Africa and Asia by Gastaldi have had some connection to [Gastaldi's map of Asia], that these copper-plate engravings are a reproduction of the originals of the wall maps in that form which was given them in the middle of the 16th century".

L'illustration comprend 10 cartes et 16 planches de vues et portraits photographiques.« Le 12 novembre 1929, le commandant de Gaulle débarque à Beyrouth et s’installe avec sa famille au Karakal Druze. Affecté comme chef des 2e et 3e bureaux de l’état-major du général commandant supérieur des troupes du Levant, le commandant de Gaulle aura l’occasion de parcourir, au cours de son séjour, le Liban et la Syrie. Le 3 juillet 1930, à l’occasion de la distribution des prix de l’université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth, le commandant de Gaulle prononce un discours dans lequel il exhorte la jeunesse libanaise à construire un État qui permette « la subordination volontaire de chacun à l’intérêt général, condition sine qua non de l’autorité des gouvernants, de la vraie justice dans les prétoires, de l’ordre dans les rues, de la conscience des fonctionnaires ». En août 1931, en collaboration avec le chef de bataillon Yvon, le commandant de Gaulle publie Histoire des troupes du Levant à l’Imprimerie nationale » (Fondation Charles de Gaulle). On trouvera en annexes la composition du Corps Expéditionnaire en Syrie de 1860, celle des troupes du Levant de 1917 à 1931 et l'état des pertes éprouvées par ces troupes au cours de la même période.
