Keep the following in mind and everything will be easy Fourth printing of this institutionally rare phrasebook which adopts "a short cut method simple and easy enough for a businessman to teach himself the spoken Arabic while relaxing in the Aircraft or in his Hotel room. Many of the oil industry people in Arabia owe their local friendship to this book". Arranged by topic the book has sections on greetings shopping food and drink and other practicalities such as taking one's car to a mechanic. The unnamed author places a premium on language as a key to understanding local culture: "you will find the Gulf Arabs intensely loyal to their friends as well as to their families. Most of them are blessed with a keen sense of humor. For these and other reasons such as their hospitality and courtesy you will enjoy getting acquainted with them". Further sections discuss the etiquette of being a guest at a traditional wedding and how to behave if invited to a private house as a guest.

1967réf. 196308No stated place or publisher: 1967. First edition introducing vocabulary for topics ranging from food and drink greetings and personal details to specialised military terms like "rocket launcher" and "Trucial Oman Scouts". We have traced no other copies in institutions or commerce. The phrasebook opens with encouragement: "The Arab regards his language as the greatest in the world. So when he hears someone trying to speak his language he is delighted. You will find your efforts to speak Arabic get a very warm response" p. 1. There are also a number of "Do's and Don'ts" such as do not be discouraged when you do not understand anything and do not point the soles of your feet at anyone. Alongside individual words the book also introduces phrases like "I'd like a cup of coffee please" "Is there a well near here" and "I am a soldier". In 1967 after the British withdrawal from Aden Middle East Command was renamed HQ British Forces Gulf and relocated to Bahrain. The distinction between Bahraini and Trucial Omani vocabulary for example "village" as qarya or balad respectively and the inclusion of regional variants for example fee ammaan Illah for "Goodbye" suggest that it was issued to the Trucial Oman Scouts. Landscape duodecimo. With 7 pp. of note paper at rear as issued. Original yellow paper wrappers wire-stitched as issued front wrapper lettered in black rear wrapper with printer's slug in black.

1855réf. ABC_47909London: William Watts 1855. Original elaborately embossed brown calf with the title lettered in gold on the spine red edges. 8vo 22 x 14 cm. Rare edition of one of the best Arabic translations of the Bible. This work is based on the 1671 version from Rome which was the first printed edition of the complete Bible in Arabic. However the version from 1671 was not vocalised written with vowel points but the present edition from London is.The Arabic translation of the Bible from 1671 was done under the direction of Sergius Risi d. 1638 the archbischop of Damascus. It had been requested by the Archbischop of Aleppo and other important figures from the Eastern Church as manuscript copies had become rare and were often found to be incorrect. Risi and his team compared the Arabic manuscripts of the Bible they had access to with Hebrew and Latin versions and then composed their own translation. They first completed the Arabic Pentateuch. The Old and New Testament followed in 1647 and 1650 respectively after Risi's passing. These translations were revised and then finally published in 1671. It was the only Arabic translation of the complete Bible until 1811. Numerous new translations were made in 19th century. The present Catholic edition of the Arabic Bible translation existed alongside the 1860 Protestant translation by Cornelius van Alen van Dyck.According to the title-page this edition of the Old Testament was printed in 1855. However none of the relevant reference works mention an 1855 edition. Since the title-page of the New Testament bears the year 1857 it is possible that the Old Testament was also printed in that year and the date on the title-page is a printing mistake. The 1857 edition is also fairly rare on the market as we have only been able to find it in 1 sales record of the past 100 years.With the label of Watkins' bookbinding factory mounted on the front pastedown and a purple Spanish stamp from the library of someone with a law degree on the final leaf. The edges and corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed the binding is rubbed with some loss of material on the spine. The leaves are somewhat browned mild foxing throughout the back pastedown has a tear in the gutter. Otherwise in good condition.l BM General catalogue vol 2 p. 1276-198/199 other eds.; Darlow & Moule 1684; WorldCat 1402269394 1 copy 1857 ed.; cf.

réf. 182523Sidney Ohio: Chaplin Editorial Services; R. Howard Courtney Peoria Illinois 1972-82. The birth of Arab philately First editions a complete run. Chaplin was the first to devote a journal to the stamps of the entire Arab world stretching from Libya to the peninsula and as far north as Syria. We have traced one set of Chaplin's journals at the National Postal Museum and none of Courtney's. Mervin Chaplin's Journal of Arabian Philately was published at a time when Arabian stamps were unpopular amongst Western collectors a viewpoint that Chaplin aimed to counteract. His journal covered topics such as mosques featured on stamps and those issued in the Hejaz and Nejd. It also included a list of new issues in the first half of 1972. The journal only lasted for two volumes both released in 1972. Six years later stamp collector Robert Courtney decided to continue Chaplin's work with the Arab World Philatelist. He copied the design and layout of the Journal of Arabian Philately and produced six volumes. Courtney also included a list of recent auction results in every volume. 8 vols octavo. Many halftone photographic illustrations and maps; advertisements throughout. Original mixed wrappers lettered and decorated in black to recto and verso stapled as issued. Housed in a grey archival box. Some ink tick marks to the Journal of Arabian Philately. Wrappers a touch toned at extremities as expected occasional foxing and offsetting internally: a very good collection. Robert Courtney "The Arab World Philatelist 1978-1982". unknown

1947réf. 184799London: Geographical Section General Staff 1947. Arabic and military cartography Rare first and only edition of this Arabic glossary for use on foreign maps produced by the British War Office. It explains the use of Arabic terms on maps covering territories to the east of the Libyan-Egyptian border and was part of an extensive series published in the 1940s. The spelling and transliteration follow the RGS II System conventions devised by the Royal Geographical Society's Permanent Committee on Geographical Names in 1921 updating those used by the War Office and Admiralty after 1885. The introduction includes a survey of the history of the Arabic language its alphabet pronunciation and dialects in view of instructing soldiers pilots and surveyors on how to read and pronounce names on maps of the Middle East. "An Arabic word may appear on European maps in numerous transliterated forms each depending upon the national authority of the map and the principle of transliteration applied to the names on it" p. 2 due to the "considerable play" between a e and i and other such alternative renditions of specific letters and sounds. The four-column table provides abbreviations transliteration the Arabic-script version and the meaning of Arabic words commonly found on maps. For instance aqra' is rendered as "without vegetation" ashqar as "reddish" ghurd as "sand dune" and zallaq as "slippery place" specifying if a noun is a plural and/or in a different grammatical case. Words originating from other languages Berber Hebrew Greek Latin Turkish and Persian are also identified. Octavo 270 x 185 mm. pp. 28 2. Text in Arabic and English.

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
