LOUIS MASSIGNON.
Parola data. [= Parole donnee]. Introduzione di Vincent-Mansour Monteil; a cura di Claudia Maria Tresso.
Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Italian. 488, [3] p., numerous b/w plates. "Gli scritti dell'autore affrontano i temi più svariati: da Maria Antonietta ai Sette Dormienti, dai giardini ai tappeti, dall'uso delle metafore al lessico mistico. Le vicende e la morfologia delle civiltà appaiono sempre come una mutevole costellazione di "intersignes", fino a comporre una "storia gnostica, quella che ci manca". Massignon fu egli stesso un mistico e un uomo d'azione, coinvolto nelle operazioni più segrete sulla scena del Medio Oriente, un po' sulla falsariga di Lawrence d'Arabia, da lui venerato. Massignon è stato colui che ha compreso l'unità e la misteriosa tensione interna fra le tre Religioni del Libro, accomunate dalla figura di Abramo: Ebraismo, Cristianesimo, Islamismo."

Louis XVI / Silvestre de Sacy, [Antoine Isaac] (ed.).
[Al-durr al-manzum fi wasaya al-sultan al-marhum]. Testament de Louis XVI, Roi de France et de Navarre, avec une traduction arabe par M. le Baron Silvestre de Sacy. Paris, de l'Imprimierie Royale, 1820.
8vo. 19, (1), 22, (2) pp. Contemporary grey wrappers. First Arabic edition. "Silvestre de Sacy translated the Last Will and Testament of Louis XVI into Arabic and had the translation printed together with the French original in 1820, in hopes that it might prove a comfort and encouragement to the Christians of the Orient, while giving Muslim readers a demonstration of Christian submission and evangelical meekness" (cf. Fück). Three years previously, de Sacy had published the late King's Testament (together with the last letter of Marie Antoinette) in a luxurious folio edition. "Sacy never let his Christian convictions hamper his work as a scholar, for he saw religion as a personal matter. Although he revealed his faith at times, it was never to pose it as the strongest model against which to judge other religions. He was nevertheless very pious. There is no other way to explain his translation of the guillotined king, Louis XVI, into Arabic [...]. He apparently wished to show how devout, simple and charitable his beloved monarch had been" (Kamal as-Salibi, The Druze [London 2005], p. 20). - The orientalist de Sacy, a monumental figure in the development of oriental studies in France, began his career as professor of Arabic at the École des Langues Orientales Vivantes in 1796. In 1806 he was offered the chair of Persian at the College of France and in 1824 was appointed director of the school of oriental languages. He also acted as advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, translating political propaganda into Arabic, including the "Bulletins of the Grande Armée" (cf. Atabey 1134). - An excellent, untrimmed and wide-margined copy in mint condition, printed on strong paper, the central counter-leaf remaining uncut. Fück 144 (note 377). Bibliothèque de Sacy III, 4781f. OCLC 25217438.

Voyage [...], fait en M.DCCXIV, &c. par ordre de Louis XIV. dans la Turquie, l'Asie, Sourie, Paléstine, Haute et Basse Égypte, &c. Amsterdam, Steenhouwer & Uytwers, 1720.
12mo. 2 vols. (20), 436, (8) pp. (2), 345, (26) pp. Title pages printed in red and black. With 32 engr. plates, some folding, and 2 folding engr. maps.

"Paul Lucas (1664-1737), merchant, naturalist, doctor and antiquary, made many visits to various parts of the Levant following his service with the Venetians at Negroponte in 1688. [...] This work describes Lucas's third voyage of 1714 to 1717 during which he visited Constantinople, Syria, Palestine and Egypt, and also includes a list of the antiquities discovered" (Blackmer). Edited and co-written by Antoine Banier. The plates show Tyre, Damascus, the Great Pyramid and numerous other antiquties, flora and fauna; the maps show Asia Minor and the Nile Delta. "Many commentators have criticised Lucas for the often fabulous nature of his accounts, but his writings convey a vivd sense of the nature of the East, laced with considerable classical erudition" (ibid.). - Occasional insignificant browning.

Ludolfo, Jobo.
Sciagraphia historiae Aethiopicae, sive regni Abessinorum, quod vulgo perperam Presbyteri Johannis vocatur, deo volente, aliquando in lucvem proditurae. Jenae, ex Officina Orientali Samuelis Krebsii, 1676.
Title page and 38 unnumbered pages of text. Half cloth binding from around 1870 with gilt spine-lettering and marbled boards. This is a preliminary outline of the material to be covered extensively in Ludolf's "Istoria Aethiopica", which was published in three volumes from 1681 to 1693. Job Ludolf, a German German scholar, and the "founder of Ethiopian studies" (Katalog der Eutiner Landesbibliothek) gathered the most important information available about Ethiopia in his time, working for a time in collaboration with one of the Ethiopian monks who stayed in Rome. In addition to his monumental history of the country, he wrote dictionaries and grammars of Ge'ez and Amharic. His intensive studies of Ethiopian culture and life made his work the best 17thcentury source on the region described. "A most important work on Abyssinia" (cf. Paulitschke), "of an importance transcending his own time". Very good condition outside, text shows browning and foxing. Stamp on reverse of title page. A particularly scarce and hardly known work, preceding Ludolf's famous publication on Ethiopia by a full 5 years and at the same time Ludolf's very first publication!

Lukach [later Luke], Harry Charles.
The City of Dancing Dervishes and Other Sketches and Studies from the Near East. London, Macmillan & Co., 1914.
8vo. XI, (1), 257, (1), (2, advertisements) pp. With photographic frontispiece and 12 photographic plates. Publisher's green cloth with gilt vignette of a dervish to front cover, spine lettered in gilt. First edition of this study of Sufi practice in Eastern Anatolia, Northern Iraq and Cyprus. From the library of Vittorio Emanuele III, King of Italy, extensively underlined and marked by the king with the inscription "Villa Savoia - 21.2.15" to last page; shelfmark label of the royal library to spine. The king terminated this book only three months before Italy declared war on Austria-Hungary, de facto entering WWI. Villa Savoia was first purchased by the house of Savoy in 1872. Subsequently sold to count Telfner, the royal family's financial administrator, Villa Savoia, which in the meanwhile had been renamed Villa Ada (as it is still known today) after Telfner's wife, was purchased back in 1904 by Vittorio Emanuele III, who admired its vast park and secluded location, making it perfect as a private retreat within Rome for the royal family, as well as a safe refuge during WWII (an elaborate bunker was built within the estate). In 1946 King Umberto II gifted the villa to Egypt, as a symbol of gratitude for the hospitality received during his and his father's exile; the villa now hosts the embassy of the Arab Republic of Egypt. - Some very light scattered foxing, but a very good copy. Rare. OCLC 82156703.

The author gives a detailed account of his voyage through the Gulf from Muskat to Bushire immediately after the British Navy's controversial 1819 campaign against Ras al-Khaimah, and notes approvingly the Arabs' kindness and hospitality toward their foreign guests ("which could hardly have been the case, had their detestation of Christians been in reality as great as the Koran tends to inspire"), as well as the entire absence of the cruel mistreatment of the sailors so common on European ships. - Plate slightly browned; a fine copy.

Lyon, George Francis.
A Narrative of Travels in Northern Africa, in the Years 1818, 19, and 20. Accompanied by Geographical Notices of Sudan, and of the Course of the Niger. London, John Murray, 1821.
4to. XII, 383, (1) pp. Folding engr. map frontispiece ("Map of a Route through the Regency of Tripoli and Kingdom of Fezzan"), 17 chromolithogr. plates drawn by Lyon and lithographed on stone by G. Harley or D. Dighton, M. Gauci, as well as a text illustration. Modern red cloth with gilt-stamped black spine labels. First edition of Lyon's account of his botched Timbuktu expedition, finely illustrated with 17 plates (created by M. Gauci and D. Dighton after Lyon's own drawings) showing the Arabian desert culture. - In 1818, G. F. Lyon (1795-1832) was sent with surgeon-explorer Joseph Ritchie by Sir John Barrow to find the course of the Niger River and the location of Timbuktu. A year later they had only got as far as Murzouk where they both fell ill. Ritchie never recovered and died, but Lyon survived and continued his travels. After a year he returned to Tripoli, the expedition having failed utterly. Upon return, he was promoted and in 1821 - the same year this book was published - given the command of HMS Hecla on his second attempt. Lyon was reputed to have a genuine informed interest in the culture and inhabitants of the lands he visited. Wearing Arab/Muslim dress and speaking fluent Arabic, he managed to blend in with the inhabitants of North Africa. "An important work. Lyon joined the British government scientific mission headed by Ritchie, taking place of Captain Frederick Marryat. They met at Tripoli in November 1818. Ritchie died in 1819 and Lyon took over command of the expedition. He returned to London in July, 1820. Shortly after that he joined Parry's arctic expedition. The fine plates illustrate mostly costumes, and are all after drawings by Lyon" (Blackmer). Fergus Fleming characterizes the relationship between Ritchie and Lyon, who was a "moustachioed extrovert aged twenty-two [...] Lyon was not, on the face of it, suited to African exploration". By his own confession, his main interests were "balls, riding, dining & making a fool of myself". - The plates include: Costume of Tripoli (2 types), Triumphal Arch - Tripoli, Arabs Exercising, The Castle of Bonjem, A Sand Wind on the Desert, Piper and Dancer - Tripoli, The Castle of Morzouk, Tuarick in a Shirt of Leather & Tuarick of Aghades, Tuaricks of Ghraat, Costume of Soudan, Negresses of Soudan, Tibboo Woman in Full Dress, Tibboo of Gatrone, A Tuarick on his Maherrie, camel Conveying a Bride to her husband, A Slave Kaffle. - Offsetting on title from map; map tears repaired.

Léon des Avanchers, Père (born Michel Rey-Golliet), explorer and missionary (1825-1879).
Autograph letter signed ("F. Léon des Avanchers, religieux capucin, Missionnaire apostolique aux Gallas [Affrique centrale]"). Aden, Arabie Heureuse, 22. IX. 1850.
4 pp. on folded bifolium. On blue paper. 4to. Long, interesting and unpublished letter, closely written over four pages, to the French minister Gustav Armand Henri, Comte de Reiset (1821-1905). The twenty-five-year-old missionary, writing from the south-western tip of the Arabian peninsula, describes himself as "perdu au milieu des déserts et dont toute l'imagination est absorbée par l'étude des langues". The capucin friar travelled along the coast of the Red Sea, visiting Tor, Yambo, Medina and Jeddah; the settlements he encounters are wretched hamlets on the edge of the desert. "À Gedda les musulmans font voir le tombeau de notre grande mère Ève. Selon eux, nos premiers parens après leurs chutes vinrent faire pénitence de leurs fautes à La Mecque. Ève mourut à Gedda. La tête de notre première mère repose sur une montagne et ses deux pieds sur deux autres collines voisines et sur son nombril ils ont élevé une pyramide [...]". Léon writes that he feared he would end up eaten by the fish, but finally did arrive in Abyssinia after a 20-day voyage. He continues to describe a beautiful mountaineous landscape peopled by a few Bedouin tribes and evokes their hard life, the cry of the jackals, and the devastation of crops by soldiers and by apes. He states the price of wheat, horses, and farming animals, describes the mining of gold, silver and iron and summarizes the situation in Abyssinia, since the former empire was overthrown by "la lance du farouche Gallas". He describes the savage manners of a country at war: the enslavement of women and children, the emasculation of men, and the rampant diseases. He also explains how the country first seized by the Turks passed to France, and provides his minister with first-hand geopolitical intelligence: "L'Anglais travaille ce pays. Un consul britannique y rôde en tout sens. Mais les Anglais y sont détestés à cause de leur religion. Mais cependant que l'on y fasse attention. L'Abyssinie plutôt que de vouloir subir le joug turke se mettra à la disposition de la première puissance qui voudra l'exploiter. La Sardaigne a envoyé ici un ancien missionnaire pour déterminer Oubié ou un roi de l'Abyssinie à lui donner une partie de la côte pour y colliniser fiat lux [...]". - Léon des Avanchers, friend of the French explorer Antoine d'Abadie, was a missionary in Abyssinia, a geographer, cartographer and explorer of East Africa, and a correspondent of the Società Geografica Italiana. He is known to have bought many slaves to free them and was the founder of the first Catholic church in the Seychelles. - Some original corrections and insertions. Traces of original folds. Well-preserved.
