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.

1830rif. ABC_483971830. Contemporary navy blue morocco with the title lettered in gold on spine marbled endpapers. 4to 21.5 x 27 cm. With 2 folding tables 17 lines to the page written in red and black ink. A unique handwritten vocabulary and phrasebook of English and Arabic from the first half of the 19th century. This meticulously prepared manuscript is written in the fashion of a printed book opening with a title page and ending with an index of topics. It is divided into four main sections: nouns adjectives verbs and example sentences. The vocabulary especially in the nouns section is arranged by subjects which include such interesting headings as "Druggist" "Painter" "Merchant" "Cities" "the Bride's Paraphernalia" "Precious Jewels" "War" "The Church" "Clerical Vestments" "Ecclesiastical Degrees & Kinds of Sin" "Festivals" and "Monks their prayers and their dress". Presumably the dictionary was created to help a traveller or merchant who may have had an association with the Church. The final section offers an interesting selection of phrases and sheds some light on the experience of foreign language learning in the early 19th century. The phrases are a mixture of sentences that would be useful in daily life and such as would be included to practice the words from the vocabulary. Examples include: "We roasted a lamb and ate the whole of it and drank wine with it"; "I descended from above with the youth my enemy"; "I shot the bear in the water and he sank"; and "Why dost thou scratch thy head and spit in fire". As a cheat sheet for Arabic grammar the author includes two folding tables of Arabic verb tenses and conjugations. Overall a curious example of a 19th-century Arabic vocabulary and phrasebook.With a presentation note in English indicating it was a Christmas gift in 1881 presented by G. W. Bernard Esq. Binding and spine worn some browning and staining throughout. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
1770rif. ABC_48344Probably Egypt 1770. Near-contemporary brown leather with a blind-stamped oriental rosette as a center piece and similar style corner pieces on both boards a partial manuscript title label on the spine. 4to ca. 17 x 22 cm. Arabic and Italian manuscript on paper 19 lines per extensum paginated throughout from right to left. Manuscript dictionary comprising some 9000 Arabic terms and their Italian translations. It was formerly owned by the German oriental scholar and Franciscan priest Arsenius Rehm 1738-1808 who lived in Cairo between 1769 and 1776 building a large collection of manuscripts which he brought with him when he worked for some time at the Franciscan abbey of Frauenberg at Fulda Hesse. After his death his collection remained at the monastery until it was purchased by the Benedictine Abbey of St Boniface Munich in 1852. The present volume which had not been part of the collection proper remained in Frauenberg whose library was dispersed in 2021 by the Franciscan Province. "The library includes a fairly extensive Arabic dictionary of his though not written by him. It offers only the Italian translation of the Arabic words. In the Arabic style it begins from our perspective at the end" cf. Bihl.With old stamps of the Frauenberg Abbey library on the final leaf with attribution to Arsenius Rehm in indelible pencil ca. 1900. The binding is somewhat rubbed and scuffed; remains of old spine labels.

1855rif. 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.

Arabic manuscript 15 to 17 lines to the page written in clear cursive ta'liq script on brown Middle Eastern paper. With occasional red rubrication. Lengthy and well preserved 13th century Arabic manuscript law book on the fatwa produced in the Levant by an anonymous author. A fatwa is legal advice given by a Muslim authority on request with the purpose of resolving a religious or legal problem that has arisen among members of Islam. The person who gives the legal information is familiar with Islamic jurisprudence fiqh and is referred to as a mufti; the one who asks for legal advice is called Mustafti. According to the famed 13th-century Islamic jurist Ibn al-Qaayyim al-Jawziya mufti were Gods agents". The present anonymous work seems to treat the jurisprudence of the fatwa itself rather than declaring fatwa on something. The title means "The book of kitab analisys or understanding al-waaqi of the fatwa fi'l-Fatawi". As described in the book itself this is the first volume of an unknown total.Fatwas were produced by jurists from the 10th century onward and in the 13th century when the present copy was made several important Islamic lawbooks were compiled in India at the Sultanate of Delhi.Provenance: 1963 Elghanyan to Hagop Kevorkian 1872-1962; sold at Sotheby's 18 April 1983 Kevorkian collection lot 25; private collector.Binding a bit short.

Ex libris Luigi Bossi Milan 1758-1835 with his engraved heraldic bookplate to front pastedown along with T. Fenteman & Sons Leeds booksellers label to upper corner. Title-page lightly browned boards faded and discoloured some occasional light toning generally a very good copy printed on thick paper the woodcuts in strong impressions throughout. Rare 1619 reissue or of the original 1591 stock of the Arabic Medicean Gospels. The text lines are almost identical with those of the Arabic issue but now have an interlinear Latin version added which was prepared by Antonius Sionita. In 1584 the last year of the papacy of Gregory XIII who had constantly endeavoured to effect a union between the Church of Rome and the eastern Christians Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici the brother and later the successor of the Grand Duke of Tuscany founded a printing press in Rome with a vast selection of oriental types cut by the French typographer Robert Granjon. Run by a versatile orientalist Giovan Battista Raimondi the press had various aims. One was to produce propaganda which would attract the eastern Christians to Roman Catholicism. Another was to corner the publishing market in an area where typography was prohibited and to make a financial profit from the sale in the east of books printed in Arabic. The third aim was to further European knowledge and to provide good editions of Arabic versions of certain standard non-religious texts. These included the writings of Avicenna al-Idrisi's geographical compendium al-Tusi's adaptation of Euclid's text on geometry and various works on Arabic grammar and syntax. The first major publication was the 1591 edition of the Gospels. This copy has an interlinear Latin translation but the work was also issued solely in Arabic. It contains 149 fine woodcut illustrations made by Leonardo Parasole mainly after designs by one of the best known Florentine artists of his day Antonio Tempesta who owed much of his fame to the frescoes he painted in the Vatican and in a number of Roman palaces. The woodcut in the Gospel of St Mark of the presentation of the head of John the Baptist to Salome Mark 6:28 by a man in Turkish dress reminds us of the common association between the great enemy of Christendom in the sixteenth century and the ancient heathens. The Arabic text is printed in Robert Granjon's famous large fount generally considered the first satisfactory Arabic printing type; as all early printed editions of the Arabic Gospels it is based on the Alexandrian Vulgate cf. Darlow/M. 1636. The Latin version is by Leonardo Sionita. The work begins with page 9 without a title-page or any preliminary matter at all: "the intended prefatory matter was apparently never published" Darlow/M.
