rif. 123044Cairo Egypt Impprimerie Nationale c. 1800. . Single broadside printed in parallel French and Arabic text 460 x 325 mm; type-set printed in dual French and Arabic presented in two columns leaf with wide margins uncut a little creased at outer edges and with fold lines along central horizontal and vertical folds light water-staining to lower edge overall very good condition. Napoleon Bonaparte's Egypt Campaign in 1798 lead to the establishment of the first printing press on the African continent preceding the well-known Egyptian Bulaq Press established by Muhammad Ali Pasha al-Mas'ud by over two decades. The press was predominantly formed to print proclamations and official statements in French with Arabic translations that were often poorly translated and rife with grammatical error for use as political propaganda for Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. The single-sheet documents were meant to be wall mounted and therefore are ephemeral in nature with very few copies surviving. The present example is a rare proclamation announcing the new tarifs and laws relating to the production of liquor in Egypt under Napoleonic rule. It was issued by Martin-Roch-Xavier Estève 1772-1852 the paymaster of Napoleon's Armée de l'Orient and contains six articles regulating the production and introducing tarifs of liquor production in the region. The broadside notes that distilleries need to be registered and needed to clearly distinguish themselves with large 'Fabrique d'Eau de Vie' lettering there is a stipulation that frequent inspections would be made and that the finished product needed to have a minimum of 18 percent alcohol content per volume. The raw materials listed in the proclamation include five qualities of fresh dates dried dates figs and raisins. Very scarce: No other copies located not in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France or any records showing in OCLC. Cairo, Egypt, Impprimerie Nationale, c. 1800. unknown

rif. 114959A detailed map of the battleground of the failed attempt by Turkish troops to invade Egypt on 3 February 1915. At the head of the map are large sketches of 'Frame of Kerosene Tin Raft in Turkish Attack' and 'Sketch of Turkish Pontoons captured at Toussoum-Serapeum 4.2.1915'. The Australian War Memorial has one of the 24 pontoons used by the 4th Turkish Army in their attempt to cross the Suez Canal in its collection. In fact the AWM records that 'The action in which it was captured was the first in which a unit of the AIF 3 Field Company Australian Engineers was engaged and as such this trophy was the first captured by the army in the First World War. by May 1918 the Australian War Records Section was lobbying for an example to be brought back to Australia noting that while Australian involvement by 3 Field Company Engineers was small it was important'. Both Charles Bean 'The Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-18' Volume 1 Chapter VIII: 'The Turkish Expedition against Egypt' pages 140-165 and the AWM have much to say on this attack. After Turkey entered the war on 31 October 1914 one of the first objectives of both the Germans and Turks was to strike a blow against Britain in Egypt. By January 1915 a 'Turkish force of an estimated 10000 had travelled from Jerusalem to Kantara on the Suez Canal a distance of 200 miles. The force was composed of 5 percent Germans 10 percent Turks and 85 percent Bedouins and was aimed at raising anti-British feeling within the protectorate of Egypt inciting a Jihad and denying use of the canal to Allied forces. This potential threat forced the British to base up to 70000 troops in Egypt 30000 of them defending the Canal. Initially the Turks had three options: to attack from the Jordan-Mediterranean coast to Kantara through the Sinai from Beersheeba to Ismalia or from the south to Suez. Thus the British were obliged to keep options open defending all three zones along the 159 km of canal until it became obvious the Turks were marching south-west from Beersheeba heading for the central zone at Ismalia straight across the Sinai Desert. Despite being initially unconvinced that the Turks could actually organise such a crossing the British were aware of the intent; they decided to base their forces on the West Bank of the Suez using the canal as part of the defence bolstered by Royal Navy ships. This essentially meant giving up the Sinai. The force opposing the Turks mainly comprised of the 10th and 11th Divisions Indian Army. The New Zealand Wellington and Otago Battalions however assisted in the defence. The 3rd Field Company Engineers AIF were detached to operate searchlights and the Ismalia powerhouse but no other Australians were involved directly in the defence. The majority of defenders were hidden by high spoil banks thrown up on the west bank during construction of the Suez Canal. Small parties of Turks were spotted by a French seaplane on 15 January - but they missed most of the force heading out of Beersheeba and across the Sinai. This move was unexpected as most armies had moved along the coast. The Turks sent smaller parties to the southern & northern routes as a diversion and to keep the British guessing. The central party physically dragged their pontoons on wagons and artillery across the desert. Early on the morning of 3 February about 3:30 am movements and sounds were noticed by the defenders on the eastern bank and the Indian sentries started shooting. After dying down more sounds were noted a kilometre south. A Turkish pontoon landed on the west bank loaded with 25 Turks. This was charged by Punjabis and all the occupants were killed; a second crossed under fire but landed with only 10 survivors - four were captured in the morning. Pontoons were raked with shrapnel and machine gun fire killing all aboard. Many more were targeted on the east bank as their crews attempted to launch them with heavy casualties. Witnesses noted ten or eleven damaged pontoons drifting full of dead. Survivors tried to hide behind pontoons and make a dash for safety - many of these killed as well. Orders were given for Torpedo Boat 43 to blow up remaining intact pontoons. At the same time unaware of the disaster and hearing that some pontoons had already crossed the Turkish commander sent up thousands of reinforcements. The British Territorial artillery spotted them and started shooting as did the guns of the French battleship "Requin". An Indian counter-attack across the Canal took 250 prisoners and the attack ceased. The British had lost just on 160 men - the Turkish toll was ten times higher. The Turks retreated back across the desert. The Turkish performance at the Canal may have coloured Australian British and Indian attitudes to Turkish fighting ability which they brought to Gallipoli to their cost' AWM. Bean provides more and pertinent details: 'Early in January the 3rd Field Company of Australian Engineers . had been sent down to construct trenches and floating bridges at the Canal. The British authorities at once began to discover in this company men experienced in almost any work which was needed. Within a week some were detached to manipulate searchlights others had taken over the power-house at Ismailia sic others were surveying for artillery ranges or for maps while the main body was making bridgeheads at Serapeum Ismailia and Kantara and also a floating bridge for Ismailia ferry-post'. Bean's last words are also telling: 'There was a heavy fall in the current estimate of the fighting value of the Turkish Army. This was not without its influence on future events'. Those events which commenced on 25 April 1915 and reverberate to this day may go a long way to explaining why this extraordinary map appears to have been unrecorded. Bean was certainly unaware of it when he wrote his history; the AWM makes no reference to it; and Trove locates no examples. In the overall history of the First World War it may be a sideshow completely overshadowed by the Allied invasion of Turkey at Gallipoli: everything went according to the script of this dress rehearsal except the roles were reversed. unknown

1653rif. 136102Alexandria: 1916-53. Politics power and position under empire A rich document of empire pageantry and elite education in British Egypt bearing some 150 dated signatures of leading political military and cultural figures from the first half of the 20th century. Among them are successive British High Commissioners - McMahon Wingate and Allenby - alongside royalty senior officials diplomats and figures from commerce and the press reflecting Victoria College's status as a focal point of imperial authority and social power. Founded in 1902 with the backing of Sir Evelyn Baring Lord Cromer Victoria College educated the sons of the Anglo-Egyptian elite and staged annual speech days that became ritualized displays of British rule. Before the Second World War when British influence was at its height the college was regularly visited by high commissioners and their entourages even during wartime. Early entries include Sultan Hussein Kamal's visit of June 1916 followed by Sir Henry McMahon and senior military and diplomatic figures connected to Kitchener and the Cairo administration. McMahon's successor Reginald Wingate contributed a full-page endorsement of the school in 1917 and Prince Arthur Duke of Connaught visited in 1918 during Allenby's Egyptian campaign. In the interwar years Victoria remained a symbol of British cultural power despite Egypt's formal independence. Edmund Allenby signed repeatedly between 1919 and 1922 later joined by his successors George Lloyd and Percy Loraine often alongside Egyptian ministers. The book also records visits connected to major political developments including members of the Milner Mission in 1920 Gilbert Clayton Sultan Fuad I and George Antonius a former pupil and later a key Arab nationalist intellectual. Other signatories range from the Sultan of Zanzibar to senior churchmen naval officers journalists artists publishers and statesmen underscoring the college's place at the intersection of British and Middle Eastern elites. The final entries chart the end of the imperial era. A 1949 inscription by Said Taha Bey marked "Visit of the Hero of Faluja" poignantly closes this compendium - a compact first-hand chronicle of shifting power personalities and allegiances in modern Middle Eastern history. Quarto. Original brown buckram ledger spine and covers ruled in black grey-green endpapers joints lined with green linen tape as issued marbled and rounded edges pages with printed blue rules approximately 65 pages with one or more signatures nearly all in ink remaining pages blank.

1559In-4° rilegato in piena pergamena. 1) Bartolomeo Maranta, Methodi cognoscendorum simplicium, Venezia, Valgrisi, 1559 . (36), 296, marca tipografica incisa su legno al frontespizio, Durling 2950. Opera sulle proprietà medicinali delle piante, divisa in tre libri, che si inserisce nel filone dei testi di botanica farmaceutica, in cui le piante, come i fiori e i frutti, vengono esaminati dal punto di vista della nomenclatura, della nascita della specie e delle proprietà medico-farmacologiche. Maranta individua qui nel cytisus la "medicago arborea" nota agli antichi per le sue proprietà di erba medica. Bartolomeo Maranta, medico e botanico nato a Venosa verso il 1500 e morto a Molfetta nel 1571. Allievo di Luca Ghini, fu un naturalista stimato formatosi presso il Giardino dei Semplici a Pisa, lavorò presso il Giardino botanico di Napoli dal 1554 al 1556, esperienza che mise a frutto dal 1568 a Roma progettando un nuovo giardino. Fu medico del Duca di Mantova e del cardinale Branda Castiglione. 2) Prospero Alpini, De plantis aegypti, accessit etiam Liber de Balsamo, Venezia, de Franceschi, 1592. Prima edizione del De plantis e seconda del De balsamo; cc. (4), 80, (8), con 50 belle incisioni su legno nel testo, molte a piena pagina, e marca tipografica sui due frontespizi: il Dialogus de balsamo ha un suo frontespizio, la paginazione è continua. Durling 179. Edizione originale della prima opera sulle piante dell’Egitto e sull’opera considerata la più importante di Prospero Alpini; l’autore fu tra i primi botanici e medici del XVI secolo a studiare le piante per il loro specifico interesse botanico e non soltanto per gli utilizzi che se ne potevano fare in medicina; inoltre, il metodo autoptico adottato, sia sulle piante selvatiche che su quelle da lui coltivate, permise di fare in campo botanico grandi passi avanti. Sono qui rappresentate per la prima volta in un trattato di botanica europeo la pianta del caffè (?), del baobab (pianta e frutto) e della banana, i cui frutti vengono descritti come assai nutrienti, profumati ma un po’ pesanti per lo stomaco. Delle foglie e dei frutti si descrive la morfologia, l’utilizzo in cucina nel caso delle piante edibili, le proprietà benefiche e loro utilizzi nella preparazione di decotti. L’opera, di certo un trattato pioneristico, fu utilizzata come base sistemica per I successivi studi sulla flora egiziana. Le 49 xilografie, quasi tutte a piena pagina che illustrano piante, alberi e frutti, sono molto chiare e precise scientificamente. Il De balsamo è un approfondito trattato, anche questo in forma di dialogo, sulla materia con note storiche e scientifiche, con una illustrazione sulla pianta del balsamo, e la descrizione dei luoghi dove questa nasce, principalmente l’Egitto e l’Arabia, e i modi in cui viene utilizzata. Prospero Alpini (1553-1617), medico e botanico, ebbe l’occasione di viaggiare in Egitto quando divenne medico personale del console veneziano al Cairo, Giorgio Emo. DSB pp. 124-125 In-4 ° bound in full vellum. 1) pp. (36), 296, printer’s mark engraved on wood on the title page, Durling 2950. Work on the medicinal properties of plants, divided into three books, which is part of the of pharmaceutical botany texts, in which plants, such as flowers and fruits, are examined from the point of view of nomenclature, the birth of the species and medical-pharmacological properties. Here in the cytisus Maranta identifies the “medicago arborea“ known to the ancients for its properties of medical herb. Bartolomeo Maranta, physician and botanist born in Venosa around 1500 and died in Molfetta in 1571. A pupil of Luca Ghini, he was an esteemed naturalist trained at the Giardino de Semplici in Pisa and worked at the Botanical Garden of Naples from 1554 to 1556, an experience that he put to good use in Rome from 1568 by designing. He was doctor of the Duke of Mantua and of the cadinal Branda Castiglione 2) First edition of De plantis and second of De balsamo; cc. (4), 80, (8), with 50 beautiful wood engravings in the text, many in full page, and printer’s mark on the two title pages: the Dialogus de balsamo has its own title page, the pagination is continuous. Durling 179. Original edition of the first work on plants of Egypt and on the work considered the most important by Prospero Alpini; the author was among the first botanists and doctors of the sixteenth century to study plants for their specific botanical interest and not only for the uses that could be made of them in medicine; moreover, the autopsy methods adopted, both on wild plants and on those cultivated by him, made it possible to make great strides in the botanical field. The coffee plant (?), The baobab (plant and fruit) and the banana plant are represented here for the first time in a European botanical treatise, whose fruits are described as very nutritious, fragrant but a little heavy for the stomach. . The morphology of the leaves and fruits are described, their use in the kitchen in the case of edible plants, their beneficial properties and their uses in the preparation of decoctions. The work, certainly a pioneering treatise, was used as a systemic basis for subsequent studies on Egyptian flora. The 49 woodcuts, almost all full page illustrating plants, trees and fruits, are very clear and scientifically accurate. De balsamo is an in-depth treatise, also in the form of a dialogue, on the subject with historical and scientific notes, with an illustration on the balsam plant, and the description of the places where it was born, mainly Egypt and Arabia, and ways in which it is used. Prospero Alpini (1553-1617), physician and botanist, had the opportunity to travel to Egypt when he became the personal physician of the Venetian consul in Cairo, Giorgio Emo. DSB pp. 124-125.

With 34 albumen prints various sizes of which most signed and captioned in French in the negative several with a manuscript caption in the lower margin. Collection of 34 loose albumen photographs of Egypt and Palestine with one view of Istanbul by some of the leading commercial photographers active in the Middle East during the late nineteenth century. The collection includes twelve photographs by Félix Bonfils six by Antonio Beato five by Pascal Sébah two by Lekegian & Cie. two by the Zangaki brothers and one by Gülmez Frères together with several unidentified photographs. Together they provide a varied picture of the subjects offered by the commercial photographic studios of Egypt and Palestine in the late nineteenth century.The photographs cover a wide range of subjects. The views of Jerusalem mostly by Bonfils include the Al-Aqsa Mosque Jaffa Gate the Antonia Fortress the Garden of Gethsemane and scenes of prayer and daily life as well as Bethlehem on Christmas Day. Egypt is particularly well represented with Beato's photographs of the pyramids at Giza and the monuments at Karnak Luxor and Medinet Habu while Sébah's views of Cairo include Khan el-Khalili Souq al-Silah an Arab cemetery a lemonade seller and Egyptian farmers. Further photographs by Lekegian & Cie. and the Zangaki brothers show street trades figures and interiors while the single Constantinople view by Gülmez Frères depicts the fortress of Anadoluhisari in Istanbul.Also included is a large double-sided mount with two photographs: a striking portrait of two seated men in traditional dress signed "B. Moey" at the lower left and on the reverse an apparently unrelated large view of a landscaped park or pleasure garden with visitors gathered around a monumental fountain.Several photographs are slightly frayed around the edges or mildly stained the large carboard photographs are with several losses around the edges most of the paper supports are somewhat browned and stained.
