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.

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

He later became a renowned instructor at Madânî Mosque where he taught many scholars.

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.

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.
