Folio (ca. 280 x 365 mm). 3 vols. XVII, (3), 482 pp. (2), 483-1041, (2) pp. With 2 folding maps and illlustrations in the text. Vol. III (atlas): half-title and 100 engraved plates, 84 of which in original hand colour, with descriptions. Original printed wrappers; vol. III in contemporary half cloth. Stored in decorative full cloth slipcases. First edition. Signed presentation copy, inscribed by the author to the entomologist and carcinologist Eugène Louis Bouvier (1856-1944), who wrote the introduction to this elaborate entomological work: "A Monsieur le Professeur Bouvier, à qui je dois toute ma reconnaissance pour avoir mené à bonne fin cet important ouvrage faisant le plus grand honneur à sa haut compétence et à son grand dévouement à la sciene [...]". - Between the years of 1904 and 1905 Maurice de Rothschild (1881-1957) led and financed a collecting expedition in East Africa, travelling from Djibouti, across Eritrea to Ethiopia and Kenya. The collected specimens were presented to the Paris Natural History Museum. A large number of entomologists, including Charles Rothschild (1877-1923), worked on the specimens, their descriptions - some in Latin - being published in the first two volumes. A total of 68 specimens were named 'rothschildi', although not all of them are today known by this name. The third volume, containing exquisite colour illustrations of the insects, occupied a similarly large number of artists. - Uncut. Bindings somewhat worn; interior crisp and clean. A very well preserved copy of this elaborate work. Rare: a single copy in auction records. BM (NH) VIII, 1096. Not in Nissen or Pankhurst.

Rouchdy Bey, Turkish statesman.
Autograph Quotation signed ("Dr Rouchdy"). In French. No place or date.
Folio. 1 page. On uncut wove paper, bearing the Schoellers-Parole blind embossed seal, margins uncut. The original autograph contribution of Dr Rouchdy Bey to the Committee of the World League for Peace (Ligue Mondiale pour la Paix), a remarkable organization formed in 1925 with close ties to the League of Nations. The Committee itself was composed of such notaries as Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, King Carol II of Romania, John D Rockefeller, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein, who personally gathered the present manuscripts over the course of seven years (1925-32). Among the public figures who contributed to the project were dignitaries from the newly-created League of Nations' member states. "I cannot conceive of any offensive war whose advantages could equal the benefits of peace for a nation which is independent and which has the possibility of developing itself in freedom. [Signed] Dr Rouchdy". Pax Mundi. Livre d'or de la paix.

Rouhani, Fuad, first Secretary General of OPEC (1907-2004).
Typescript letter. Tehran, 17. III. 1961.
4to. 4 pp. on 4 ff. On headed stationery. Draft of a letter to Mohammed Salman, the Oil Minister of Iraq, about the administration of Abadan port, claimed both by Iran and Iraq, reflecting his concern with achieving consent in political matters as well as matters of the oil industry: "The Port of Abadan lies incontestably within the jurisdiction of Iran, and when the Iranian Government takes steps to provide its own harbourmasters in that Port it is doing nothing else than exercising a normal function of administration within its own waters. The past history of this question, and the fact that the Port of Basra has supplied harbourmasters for the Port of Abadan for some time [...] could not possibly deprive Iran of its right as an independent State to exercise sover[e]ignty over its territory. And yet this is what the attitude of your Government towards this question involves [...] If we cannot remove a difference of this simple nature, in which Iran is so evidently in the right; if the Iranian people are to be told that Iraq wishes to prevent Iran from administering the Port of Abadan in the same manner as Iraq administers, for instance, the Port of Basra; if the surprising statement of General Shawi that this matter concerns not the Iranian State but the Oil Consortium (which is foreign to both of us) is to be represented as the serious view of your Government, then how can we hope ever to achieve that harmony and unity of views and effective position on matters of joint importance, for example in relation ot OPEC, which is the first condition of success in the difficult common tasks which lie ahead of us? [...]". - With several corrections; the header "private and confidential" deleted.

Rouhani, Fuad.
Accords et contrats internationaux dans le domaine du pétrole. Paris, Institut Français du pétrole, 1963.
4to. 937-959, (1) pp. Original printed wrappers. Stapled. Exceedingly rare paper on international agreements in the oil industry by Fuad Rouhani (1907-2004), the first Secretary General of OPEC. First presented in early 1962 at the United Nations petrol conference in New York, it discusses legal issues of the oil industry, especially adressing the problem of the uneven distribution of profits between oil companies and the countries in possession of the reservoirs: "On sait toutefois que ces dernières années les gouvernements des pays qui ont accordé des concessions ont acquis la conviction qu'il existe un écart trop grand entre les bénéfices que les compagnies retirent de l'indutrie qu'elles financent et les rentrées du pays qui possède les gisements" (p. 949). - Right edge slightly warped, otherwise very well preserved. Offprint from "Revue de l'Institut Français du Pétrole et Annales des combustibles liquides", vol. XVIII, no. 6. An English version is held at Pepperdine University Library in Malibu, California; no other copy traceable in libraries internationally.

Rouire, Alphonse Marie Ferdinand.
La rivalité anglo-russe au XIXe siècle en Asie. Golfe persique, frontières de l'Inde. Paris, Armand Colin, 1908.
8vo. VIII, 298 pp., final blank leaf. Printed original wrappers. First edition. Inscribed and signed by the author to Madame Maratuech, from 1919 to 1925 the director of the girls' boarding school at Saint-Denis operated by the French League of Honour: "A madame Maratuech, Directrice des Etudes de la Maison d'éducation de La Légion d'Honneur de St. Denis. Hommage respectueux de l'auteur [...]". - Interesting assessment of the impact of the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, which regulated the spheres of influence over Afghanistan and Persia, with Britain controlling the entrance to the Gulf. It examines the growing influence of the British Empire in the Gulf region, particularly Bahrain, Kuwait and in Southern Arabia, before dealing with the geopolitics of Afghanistan, Tibet, and Persia, which was half under Russian and half under British influence. The work concludes with an analysis of the impact of the pact on both Muscat and Kuwait. Never translated into English; a Russian translation appeared in 1924. - Without the separately published lithographed map. Binding loosened; old adhesive tape in the gutter between front cover and flyleaf as well as to pp. 192f.; occasional small marginal flaws. OCLC 851237785.

Rudolf, Archduke of Austria and Hungary.
Voyage en Orient. Traduit de l'Allemand. Illustrations d'après les dessins originaux de Franz von Pausinger. Vienna, Imprimerie Imperiale et Royale de la Cour et de l'État, 1885.
Folio. (8), 168, (2) pp. With 37 etched plates. Contemporary full calf with richly gilt front cover, label to spine, and gilt edges. First (and only) edition in French. - Archduke Rudolf set out on his tour of the Middle East in 1881, travelling first from Vienna to Miramar, Corfu, Alexandria, and Cairo. From there the group sailed up the Nile to Aswan and Memphis, then journeyed on to Port Said, the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Holy Land, returning to Vienna from Haifa via Cattaro (Kotor), Ragusa (Dubrovnik), and Trieste. This is an outstanding and unique copy in a sumptous Viennese binding, in immaculate condition, was created for Anton Ritter von Beck (1812-95), then director of the government's Imperial printing office in Vienna. With a long inscription by the translator, the Baron de Montandin, to "Monsieur le Hof Rath Anton Chevalier Von Beck" on the flyleaf, dated Vienna, 28 February 1885.

Ruete, Emily, Princess of Oman and Zanzibar.
Mémoires d'une Princesse Arabe. Traduit de l'allemand par L. Lindsay. Paris, Dujarric & Cie., 1905.
Small 8vo. (6), 330 pp. Contemporary half calf with marbled boards and giltstamped spine. Marbled endpapers. First French edition of this fascinating biography of the Princess of Oman and Zanzibar, who married a German and later fled to Aden and Hamburg after becoming pregnant by him. The work is considered the first known autobiography of an Arab woman. It presents a remarkable perspective on the daily life of the Sultan in the mid and late 19th century, viewed from the eyes of an well-educated woman - subjects such as "La situation de la femme en Orient" ("A Woman's Position in the East", ch. XVI), courtship ("La mariage arabe", "Arab Matchmaking", ch. XVII), harems and polygamy, and even slavery are discussed at length (the Princess appearing rather favourably disposed to the latter!). As a later Christian convert, she remains fiercely proud of her homeland: "But it is just in Arabia, and with the Arab people, that the true Mahometan spirit, upon which the views of other Eastern nations are founded, has maintained itself most pure" (transl.). Her view of Muslim life represents the level-headed appreciation of a native of both East and West: "I have seen too many of such unhappy cases [of Christian marriage] to make me believe that Christian wedlock stands on a higher level or renders people much happier than the Mahometan [...] it is quite a fallacy to think that woman in the East is placed socially on a lower level than man. The legitimate wife - the purchased Sarari are of course to be excepted - stands in all respects on a par with her husband, and she always retains her rank, and all rights and titles emanating from it". Emily (Sayyida Salme) and her husband lived comfortably in Germany until the latter's death in 1870, upon which Emily was prompted to write the present work partly to alleviate her financial concerns. - Evenly browned throughout. Rare. OCLC 38270253. Cf. Hiler 763 (English ed., New York, 1907).

Ruphy, J[acques] F[rançois].
Dictionnaire abrégé François-Arabe, a l'usage de ceux qui se destinent au commerce du Levant. Paris, de l'Imprimerie de la République (par les soins de P. D. Duboy-Laverne), an X (1802 v. st.).
Large 4to (198 x 260 mm). (4), XV, (1), 227, (1) pp. Contemporary French half calf over papered boards with giltstamped red spine label. Only edition. The first dictionary of Arabic published in France: a unidirectional wordbook of more than 6,000 French terms translated into Arabic (in Arabic typeface), printed in large type and generously spaced, for the use of French merchants in the orient. - In the preface, the author anticipates the concept of linguistic relativity when he observes that Arabic lacks equivalent terms for a multitude of French words, especially such as relate to everyday life, culture, and the mechanical arts, and states that it would be impossible to translate the works of Newton, Montesquieu, or Lavoisier into Arabic, for "l'ignorance d'une chose entraîne nécessairement l'ignorance du mot qui sert à la désigner" (p. ix). With the practical needs of commercial travellers and secretaries in mind, he has thus aimed to pare down the vocabulary of his dictionary to the bare essentials, so as to offer to those who would wish to use Arabic nothing but the most widely used words (p. xiii). - Ruphy, a native of Greece born Iacovos Rouvis, emigrated to France as a young man and participated in Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign before becoming secretary of the Conseil des arts et du commerce du département de la Seine in 1801. - Binding rubbed; extremeties bumped. A fairly large waterstain throughout the lower third of the book. Rare in the trade; a single copy at auction in the past 40 years. Ersch/Gruber V, 53. OCLC 27402218. Spirgatis, Kat. 32: Grammatiken und Wörterbücher (Leipzig 1895), no. 309. Not in Zaunmüller or Vater/Jülg.

Russell, Alexander.
The Natural History of Aleppo. London, printed for G. G. and J. Robinson, 1794.
4to. 2 vols. XXIV, 446, XXIII, (3) pp. VII, (1), 430, XXXIV, (26) pp. With engraved frontispiece and 20 numbered engraved plates (5 of which folded) on 19 sheets. Contemporary full calf with giltstamped spine labels. All edges red. Second edition of this authoritative account of Aleppo and Ottoman life and manners, based on Russell's experience as physician to the British factory in Aleppo from 1740 to 1753. Enlarged with 3 additional plates compared to the 1756 first edition. Includes an engraved frontispiece with a view of the city, a plan by Carsten Niebuhr (vol. I, plate I), and an additional plate showing fish (vol. II, plate VI). Apart from the Syrian flora and fauna as well as the local climate, Russell's monograph discusses the everyday life of the local population, including that of European merchants living in Aleppo, the organisation of their trade activity, and their social life. Also includes a section on the plague and other epidemic diseases in the 1740s. The descriptions of the education system, of the production of manuscripts, and of the commercial activity in Syria are unusually detailed and can be considered unique in contemporary travel literature on the Ottoman Empire (cf. Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister). The botanical plates were produced by G. D. Ehret, and one plate of fish bears the name of W. Skelton, while the remainder of plates, including the ones depicting birds and domestic life, are unsigned, but were probably produced by Russell himself. - Binding lightly scuffed; interior fresh and extremely well preserved. A charmingly bound set documenting an era of scientific and economic prosperity in Syria. Blackmer 1458. Nissen BBI 3534. Navari 1458. Cox I, 227. Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister 893. ESTC T149605. Cf. Atabey 1064 (1762 Dutch edition).
