1790Best.-Nr. 145711790. Engraved plate titled View Of The Temple of Mecca and accompanying Plan Of The Temple of Mecca circa eighteenth century represents an early modern European visual interpretation of the Kaaba and the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca Islam's most sacred site. Produced for inclusion in eighteenth-century printed works including editions of André du Ryer's French translation of the Qur'an L'Alcoran de Mahomet the engraving reflects European efforts to depict and systematize knowledge of Islamic sacred geography during a period of expanding global contact. The print supports research in Islamic studies the history of book illustration Orientalist visual culture and early modern European representations of non-Christian religious architecture. Engraved plate. Circa 1700s. Approximately 8 x 12 inches. Unmounted and unframed. The foldout plate comprises two distinct but related images: an aerial plan of the sacred precinct at Mecca and a perspectival view of the Kaaba within the Masjid al-Haram. The central structure of the Kaaba is depicted surrounded by arcaded and domed architectural elements characteristic of the sanctuary as understood in the eighteenth century. In the foreground courtyard numerous Muslim worshippers-approximately one hundred figures-are shown engaged in prayer emphasizing both ritual practice and spatial organization. The engraving was issued in connection with eighteenth-century European editions of Islamic texts including Du Ryer's influential translation and reflects the period's hybrid combination of documentary ambition and interpretive stylization. As a visual artifact circulating within early modern printed Qur'anic translations the plate documents how European readers encountered Islam through mediated imagery shaped by travel accounts diplomatic reports and secondhand description. Such engravings played a formative role in constructing Western visual conceptions of Mecca at a time when access to the holy city was restricted to Muslims. The presence of both plan and elevation view demonstrates Enlightenment-era interest in architectural order cartographic precision and comparative religion. Light age-related toning and traces of original fold at center; minor fold wear consistent with issuance as a book plate; image clear with well-preserved engraved detail. Overall very good condition. A significant eighteenth-century engraved representation of the Kaaba and Masjid al-Haram reflecting early European visual engagement with Islamic sacred space. unknown
1926Best.-Nr. 144221926. Gröber Karl. Bird's Eye View of Mecca 1926. Original copperplate photogravure depicting Mecca Islam's holiest city and the destination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The elevated view records the historic urban setting of Mecca home to the Masjid al-Haram the Sacred or Grand Mosque and the Kaaba toward which Muslims worldwide direct their daily prayers. Published in 1926 the image dates from the early rule of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud over the Hejaz following his conquest of Mecca in 1924 and assumption of the title King of the Hejaz in 1926. The illustration preserves a photographic view of the holy city during a period of political transition decades before the extensive urban redevelopment and mosque expansions of the later twentieth century. Gröber Karl photographer. Bird's Eye View of Mecca. 1926. Original copperplate photogravure after a photograph by Gröber published as an illustration in the first edition of a 1926 book containing his text and photogravures. Sheet measures approximately 8.25" x 10.25" with a printed area of approximately 8.5" x 6.25". The elevated perspective presents a panoramic view of Mecca recording the city's buildings and urban topography. The copperplate photogravure process reproduces the tonal gradations and architectural detail of the original photograph. Mecca had been under Ottoman sovereignty until the Arab Revolt of 1916 after which it formed part of the Hashemite Kingdom of the Hejaz before coming under Saudi control in 1924. Gröber's 1926 publication belongs to this transitional period in the city's modern history. The original photogravure provides a contemporary visual record of Mecca before the major architectural alterations and expansions undertaken in subsequent decades. unknown
1926Best.-Nr. 144231926. Gröber Karl. Two Views of the Mosque at Mecca 1926. Pair of original copperplate photogravures depicting the Masjid al-Haram the Sacred or Grand Mosque in Mecca Islam's holiest city and the destination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage. The mosque surrounds the Kaaba toward which Muslims worldwide turn in daily prayer.

Gröber Karl photographer. Two Views of the Mosque at Mecca. 1926. Two original copperplate photogravures after photographs by Gröber published in the first edition of a 1926 book containing his text and photographic illustrations. Each sheet measures approximately 8.25" x 10.25" with a printed area of approximately 6.25" x 8.25". The first photogravure presents a ground-level view of the mosque recording its architecture from within the surrounding urban setting. The second provides a bird's-eye view of the mosque showing the sacred complex from an elevated perspective. Both illustrations reproduce the tonal gradations and architectural details of the original photographs through the copperplate photogravure process. The illustrations were published during a decisive period in the modern history of Mecca. Following the collapse of Ottoman authority in the Hejaz during the First World War the city came under Hashemite rule before its capture by Ibn Saud in 1924. In 1926 Ibn Saud assumed the title King of the Hejaz incorporating Mecca into the expanding Saudi state. The paired views record the mosque's architectural setting during this transition preceding the major expansion and redevelopment campaigns undertaken from the mid-twentieth century onward. Both original photogravures are in excellent condition presenting complementary perspectives of the Grand Mosque as reproduced in 1926. unknown

Else a very good and collectible copy "Al-Matba'a al-Miriyya" seal on colophon as a common practice of preventing counterfeits in the period. An exceptionally rare first Mecca edition of a single-volume work containing two celebrated texts representing the final nineteenth-century Turkish commentaries on the Qasîda-i Burda. Authored by Necib Bey of Antioch an Ottoman official who served in the Hijaz the volume was printed at the first press established in the region by Osman Nuri Pasha. The Qasîda-i Burda is a thirteenth-century ode of praise to Muhammad composed by the Egyptian Shadhili mystic al-Bûsîrî. The first two pages of the work are devoted to complimentary letters written for the book by the then Governor of the Hijaz Ahmed Ratib Pasha 1846-1913 and by the Arab scholars Abd al-Jalil Burade and Arif Khan Tashkendi. One of the letters is in Arabic the other in Ottoman Turkish. The final Turkish commentary on the Qasîda-i Burda produced in the nineteenth century belongs to Necib Bey of Antioch d. after 1319/1902 who served as an official in the Hijaz region. Necib Bey held administrative posts at both institutions known as al-Tekiyyât al-Miriyya The Egyptian Tekke charitable imarets established by Mehmed Ali Pasha of Kavala the Khedive of Egypt d. 1265/1849 one in Mecca and the other in Medina. As he himself states in his commentary Necib Bey received his education in Western Anatolia and travelled extensively across a wide geographical area including regions beyond Ottoman territory such as Europe and Russia marking him as a Turkish traveller and scholar of broad experience. In addition to these qualities he was also active as an educator and is known to have tutored members of the elite including Khedive Abbas Hilmi II of Egypt d. 1944 and his brother Mehmed Ali Pasha. Two works by Necib Bey are known both of which are Turkish commentaries on the Qasida-i Burda poems of Ka'b b. Zuhayr and al-Bûsîrî. The first bears the title Is'âd: Shar-i Bânet Su'âd and the second Mukhtaar Tawassul: Shar-i Qasîda-i Burda. These two works were published together in a single bound volume in 1896/97 at the Hijaz Provincial Printing House. The title Mukhtaar Tawassul derives from the fact that this work is an abridgement of the commentary entitled Tawassul by Mekkî Mehmed Efendi d. 1212/1797. The commentary entitled Is'âd takes its name from the Arabic commentary Is'âd 'alâ Bânet Su'âd written by the Egyptian scholar Ibrâhîm b. Muammad al-Bâjûrî d. 1277/1860. The commentator explains this choice of title with the statement: "This commentary being in the nature of a translation of Bâjûrî's commentary has therefore been named Is'âd after its original title." However the diversity of sources evident in the work the inclusion of autobiographical details Sufi narratives poetic examples in three languages and several critical remarks directed at the primary source clearly demonstrate that the text stands much closer to an original composition ta'lîf than to a mere translation tarjama. Gürler. ON THE FIRST PRINTING HOUSE IN THE HIJAZ: The distinctive cultural character of Meccan society as a centre for learning intellectual exchange and scholarly debate was a decisive factor in the introduction of printing to Mecca. This development was welcomed by both scholars and the local population and materialized in 1882 under the auspices of the Ottoman governor of the Hijaz Osman Nuri Pasha. Although the Ottoman government had established the first printing press in the Arabian Peninsula earlier in Sana'a in 1877 1295 AH Mecca became acquainted with printing shortly thereafter in 1300 AH 1882-83 with the founding of an official government press.

A FINE LITHOGRAPHED MEDINA Medina al-Munawwara ali sâhibhâ afzal al-tahiyya. It shows Medina city with its building and walls besides its environment. Medina is the capital of the Al-Madinah Region in Saudi Arabia. At the city's heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi 'The Prophet's Mosque' which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Medina is one of the three holiest cities in Islam the other two being Mecca and Jerusalem. Medina was Muhammad's destination in his Hijrah migration from Makkah and became the capital of a rapidly increasing Muslim Empire under Muhammad's leadership serving as the power base of Islam and where Muhammad's Ummah Community composed of both locals and immigrants from Muhammad's original home of Mecca developed. Medina is home to three prominent mosques namely al-Masjid an-Nabawi Quba Mosque and Masjid al-Qiblatayn 'The mosque of the two Qiblas'. Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs. N. p.
