1863réf. 92359London: Samuel Bagster 1863. Hardcover. Very Good. viii 118p. Original cloth. Titled in gilt on front cover. 16 cm. Modest fading on backstrip and around edges of front cover. Library stamping on front free endpaper indicating that this was owned and discarded by Redemptorist Communities in Ireland. Arabic text with Introduction in English. Ferrette identified on the title page as a missionary of the irish Presbyterian Church at Damascus believed that he had come up with a great typographic method for dealing with the vowel problem in Arabic type. Ferrette's suggested fix did not catch on and his suggested fix is now mostly forgotten. Most copies located by OCLC list W. M. Watts as publisher and are dated 1863 on the title-page. This copy with the same pagination lists Bagster as publisher and is undated. We suspect that Bagster persuaded the publisher or Ferrette to issue some copies with Bagster's name as publisher for sale in Bagster's theological bookstore. We doubt that it is a later or second edition. OCLC locates one copy Huntington with the Bagster imprint. It is dated as 1836 which seems likely to be an error in dating caused by transposing the last two numbers. Samuel Bagster hardcover books

Ibn al-QÄsıh 1316-1399 C.E. an eminent scholar of Qira'at and Islamic textual transmission was born in Baghdad and studied in Egypt where he mastered the ten canonical recitations 'ashara. He later became a renowned instructor at Madânî Mosque where he taught many scholars. His works particularly Siraj al-QÄriʾal-mubtadî wa Tadhkar al-Muqriʾal-mutahi are critical to the tradition of Qira'at pedagogy. This manuscript is an early nineteenth-century copy of a standard work an extensive and detailed commentary on al-Shatıbi's Ḥırz al-Amani a foundational text in the science of Qur'anic recitation. While al-Shatıbi's work is a didactic poem that systematically presents the rules of Qira'at this commentary expands upon its meanings with in-depth linguistic grammatical and recitational analyses providing a comprehensive exegesis that was widely studied by advanced scholars. The presence of extensive marginal annotations suggests active scholarly engagement making this manuscript an invaluable resource for the study of classical Qira'at methodologies and textual transmission. A significant scholarly manuscript offering a deeply analytical and authoritative commentary on one of the most important texts in the Qira'at tradition. unknown books

1848réf. ST14540Leipsic Leipzig: Guillaume Vogel fils 1848. FIRST EDITION. 225 x 142 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". XXV pp. 4 p.l. 231 pp. VERY ATTRACTIVE AND UNUSUAL CONTEMPORARY BLUE CLOTH BY F. J. CRUSIUS OF LEIPZIG his ticket on verso of front free endpaper WITH ORNATE STAMPED DECORATION IN THE ROMANTIC STYLE in gilt colors and blind covers with rocaille frame and large central arabesque in red and gilt smooth black roan spine with stylized gilt vine brown and tan lattice-work printed endpapers and edges. Text in French and Arabic on facing pages. Front flyleaf with AUTHOR'S INK PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION to Monsieur P. Desmaison see below. ◆One corner slightly bumped leaves lightly and uniformly browned due to paper quality a few other trivial imperfections but A NEARLY FINE AND VERY PLEASING COPY with few signs of wear inside or out. This is a beautifully preserved copy of a rare guide to spoken Arabic that features special provenance in an embossed and painted cloth binding that can almost pass as onlaid morocco. Our author Sheikh Mouhammad Ayaad El-Tantavy or al-Tantawi 1810-61 was an instructor of languages and literature at Al Azahr University in Egypt when he came to the attention of Russian diplomats in Cairo whose interpreter had attended his classes. The Russian consul to the Ottoman Empire which then occupied Egypt requested that El-Tantavy be lent to the Institute of Oriental Languages in the Russian foreign ministry and once he arrived in St. Petersburg in 1840 he never left. In addition to teaching languages at the school for Russian diplomats he was a professor of Arabic at St. Petersburg University eventually becoming the Chair of Arabic Studies. The present work is a guide to spoken Arabic for diplomats with the parallel texts in Arabic and French then the international language for diplomacy. France Russia and the Ottoman Empire had been engaged in a series of conflicts for some years so this tool would have had very practical application. It is recommended in the 1855 book "The Languages of the Seat of War in the East" by Friedrich Max Muller. The present copy is inscribed by the author to Jean-Jacques-Pierre Desmaisons 1807-73 the Franco-Russian director of training in Oriental languages in the Asiatic department of the Russian foreign ministry and El-Tantavy's supervisor there. The fact that Desmaisons would not have needed to make practical use of our volume goes some way to account for its fine condition. Binder F. J. Crusius developed machinery to facilitate the lavish decoration of bindings in innovative ways--like using paint to imitate leather as in the present example--achieving aesthetically pleasing results with far less labor and expense than would have been necessitated by hand work. The "Report of the Assessment Commission at the General German Industrial Exhibition in Munich in 1854" notes that Crusius displayed plan drawings of his invention at the fair. Copies of the first edition of this work are rare with OCLC finding just 12 in libraries worldwide and none in North America. We could find no copies recorded at auction.

Rare example of a text from the Qur'an in the Jali Diwani script an elaborate intertwining Arabic cursive developed during the early Ottoman era in the sixteenth century. The text in the present manuscript is entirely in gilt and derives from Juz 29 entitled Tabaraka "Blessed is" after the opening word of the first sura.
