1880Best.-Nr. 055960Cairo: Jurnal Kevakib al-Misrî / Matbaat al-Kastiliyah. AH 1297 Jumada I = 30 April 1880 CE. 1880. 3rd Edition . Leather. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Contemporary burgundy quarter calf. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 16 cm. In Arabic. 144 p. Occasionally browned and foxed on pages and edges fading on the boards. Marginal manuscript notes in Arabic on the first four pages. On the colophon page the phrase "Yâ Kabîkaj" is handwritten. In Islamic culture this name refers both to a jinn believed to be the protector of books and paper and to the bookworm itself. Traditionally writing this invocation inside a book was believed to protect it from worms and other pests. Overall a very good copy. Scarce second Castel edition third in the literature of this book attributed to Hasan al-Bakrî featuring popular historical and legendary tales of a highly romanticized and mythologized account of the Islamic expansion into Yemen. The work recounts early Muslim warriors' Islamic conquests and heroic exploits often blending historical events with folklore and imaginative embellishments. This edition is also known for referencing Ra's al-Ghul the Head of the Ghoul possibly including encounters with fantastical creatures such as this Ghoul in Arabic folklore and mythology. The first edition was published in 1865 by Castel Printing House and the second edition was published in al-Mabna Yemen in AH 1295 = 1877 CE. Al-Bakrî is the purported author of several Islamic works in Arabic most notably a biography of Muhammad entitled Kitâb al-anwâr 'Book of Lights'. There is no consensus regarding his historicity whether he lived or his floruit when he lived. Little is known of Hasan al-Bakrî which may explain his absence from early dictionaries. He may have been from or active in Bara since he is sometimes called the "Baran preacher". Ibn Taymiyya calls him an Ash'arî. Wikipedia. As of May 2025 OCLC does not list this edition. For the 1865 edition see OCLC 1391728943; for the 1881 edition see OCLC 27481810. Jurnal Kevakib al-Misrî / Matbaat al-Kastiliyah., AH 1297 Jumada I [= 30 April 1880 CE]. hardcover

Best.-Nr. 4027India Early 20th century . Very good. Large painting on a manuscript leaf in Arabic from the "Sharh al-Wiqayah" by Burhan al-Shariah Mahmud ibn Ubayd Allah SEE BELOW 353 x 216 mm hinged onto plexiglas mount with clear tape so that the text of the manuscript is visible from the back; matted matte size: 500 x 360. A remarkable erotic Indian painting of an uncommon type which we describe as "zoomorphic erotica." The painting depicts a camel within a frame surrounded by an antilope a lion a horse a gazelle and a bull; within each animal is a depiction of an orgy comprised of six or in the case of the camel seven men and women all finely rendered by an artist of considerable skill. This is a very high quality piece. THE MANUSCRIPT on which the painting was applied belongs to a rare text: is an excerpt from the "Sharḥ al-WiqÄyah" a commentary on a work of Hanafi fiqh law by BurhÄn al-Sharīʻah Maḥmūd ibn ʻUbayd AllÄh d. 1274 or 1275 specifically from the chapter about PREPARING BODIES FOR FUNERALS. We are grateful to Kelly Tuttle for her scholarly generosity in identifying this text and for dating it to the early 20th century. MUST BE SEEN TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED. unknown
