Fine French Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In French. 10 p., 2 unnumbered b/w plates. Extremely rare early brief French edition of "Kitâb tu?fat al-zâ'ir fî târîkh al-Jazâ'ir wa-al-Amir 'Abd al-Qâdir" by Amir Abd al-Qadir's eldest son Mohammad Pasha, originally in Arabic in 1903 in 2 volumes, published for "the benefit of the national subscription of the Ottoman Fleet", including a brief biography of Abd al-Qadir, was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion of Algiers in the early 19th century. This pamphlet including Amir Abd al-Qadir's biography written by his eldest son Mohammad Pasha has two b/w plates showing a photograph of al-Qadir and his medal that the municipality of Paris had struck in 1862, in memory of the banquet offered on behalf of the Parisian population to the Emir Abd-el-Kader. Abd al-Qadir al-Jazairi (1808-1883), known as the Emir Abdelkader, Abdelkader ibn Muhieddine or Abdelkader El Hassani El Djazairi, was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion of Algiers in the early 19th century. As an Islamic scholar and Sufi who unexpectedly found himself leading a military campaign, he built up a collection of Algerian tribesmen that for many years successfully held out against one of the most advanced armies in Europe. His consistent regard for what would now be called "human rights", especially as regards his Christian opponents, drew widespread admiration, and a crucial intervention to save the Christian community of Damascus from a massacre in 1860 brought honors and awards from around the world. Within Algeria, his efforts to unite the country against French invaders saw him hailed as the "modern Jugurtha", and his ability to combine religious and political authority has led to his being acclaimed as the "Saint among the Princes, the Prince among the Saints". Amir Abd al-Qadir (Emir Abdelkader or Abdelkader El Hassani El Djazairi), (1808-1883), was a venerated Algerian Islamic scholar and a military leader who led a collective resistance against the mid-nineteenth century French colonial invasion of Algeria. He is remembered today as one of the nineteenth century's most inspiring leaders for his humane treatment of Christian opponents during Algeria's anti-colonial struggle and for leading an intervention to rescue the Christian community in Damascus from certain massacres in the midst of sectarian riots in 1860. Raised in his father's zawiya, he excelled as a student, memorizing the Qur'an by the age of 14, and studying the Islamic religious sciences as well as subjects such as philosophy, medicine, and mathematics. He was especially known as a gifted orator who outshone his peers in the recitation of poetry and in delivering religious talks. His father, a notable spiritual leader affiliated with the Qadiriyya order, recognized his son's precociousness and cast a leadership role upon him shortly after the invasion of Algeria by France in 1830. After his father, citing his old age, declined to lead a tribal campaign against the French in 1832, Abd al-Qadir found himself elected Emir, or Commander of the Faithful, to organize a resistance that, within a year under his leadership, would unite Algeria's western tribes. Emir Abd al-Qadir commenced a fifteen-year military struggle during which he often kept the French forces-which boasted one of the world's most advanced armies-at bay through skillful guerilla tactics, strategic negotiation and treaties, and visionary state-building. All the while, he demonstrated chivalry and compassion toward his opponents and allies alike, taking care, for instance, to respect the individual religious beliefs of his prisoners of war and also purposefully integrating Jews and Christians into his new state. At one point, he released his French prisoners because he did not have the means to feed them adequately. But, by 1847, partly due to ruthless scor

rif. 005597Paris: Jacques Lafitte. Stiff Wraps. Very Good. Scarce with no recorded copies on OCLC and not in BNF catalogue. N.d. 1930s and possibly Oblong 4to. 21 by 27 cm. 24 pp. A farcical story of an eccentric professor who chases after a sailor around the globe because a stamp from his collection was stolen. Along the way the professor has all kinds of contretemps with the natives -- Congolese Tahitians Martiniquians etc. Written and illustrated with a brio that is unbounded by bigotry or political rectitude as we now know it and a prism on rascist attitudes of an earlier era. Loosely in the spirit of Tintin stories or even Babar a little and contemporaneous with the early editions of both of those. The dating is tricky. There is the number 1943 indicated in small print on the final leaf but we don't think it is plausible that this was printed that late when Paris was under occupation. More plausible is an issuance in conjunction with the Coloniale Exposition which occurred in 1931 but there is no concrete evidence of this either. From the physical traits and the general style of the production though we are reasonably confident that it hailed from the thirties. Light wear. Jacques Lafitte unknown
