1780réf. 144401780. Irwin Eyles. A Series of Adventures in the Course of a Voyage up the Red Sea 1780. Early Dublin edition of Irwin's firsthand account of his 1777 journey along the Arabian and Egyptian coasts of the Red Sea and through the deserts of Upper Egypt. Born in Calcutta and employed by the British East India Company Irwin undertook the journey after his dismissal from Company service in 1776 traveling to England to seek redress. His eleven-month passage involved encounters with pirates detention difficult desert crossings and travel through territories seldom described firsthand by European visitors. Written as a series of letters addressed to an unnamed lady the narrative records maritime commerce Bedouin encounters local customs and relations between European travelers and Arab populations in the late eighteenth century. Irwin's account also documents the practical difficulties of traveling between British India and Europe through the Red Sea and Ottoman-controlled Egypt. Irwin Eyles. A Series of Adventures in the Course of a Voyage up the Red Sea on the Coast of Arabia and Egypt; and of a Route through the Deserts of Thebais Hitherto Unknown to the European Traveller in the year MDCCLXXVII in Letters to a Lady. Dublin: Sleater Whitestone Potts Colles Wilson Jenkins Flin et al. 1780. Early Dublin edition. One volume 576 pages described as quarto 4to. Bound in antique full leather with gilt decoration to the spine and original title label. Retains the original folding map of the Red Sea with two additional maps lacking. The narrative follows Irwin's passage from India toward England including his experiences along the Arabian coast and his overland journey from Cosseir Quseir through the Egyptian desert toward the Nile Luxor Cairo and Alexandria. His letters describe encounters with local inhabitants the difficulties of desert transportation and conditions in the ports and settlements through which he traveled. The text also includes Irwin's poems "Ode to the Desert" and "Ode to the Nile." The work is referenced in Blackmer Collection 865 and Atabey Collection 609. Published in 1780 Irwin's narrative belongs to the early literature of British travel through the Arabian Peninsula and Egypt when the East India Company's expanding commercial interests made the Red Sea an increasingly consequential passage between India and Europe. His descriptions of Bedouin groups including episodes characterized by the historian Kathryn Tidrick as a prolonged account of Bedouin treachery also preserve the prejudices and expectations through which British travelers interpreted Arab societies. The letters combine personal misadventure with geographical observations and descriptions of regional transportation commerce and encounters between foreign travelers and local authorities. The rear board has been reattached with dark stitching while the front hinge has a 3½" split but remains firm. Corners are bumped and worn with wear and some chipping to the head and foot of the spine. Interior pages remain in very good condition; overall good condition.

First edition of the British military officer explorer and ornithologist's account of his 1923-1924 expedition through eastern Arabia including Bahrain Hufuf the Al-Hasa oasis Jabrin and Uqair. Undertaken during the territorial consolidation of Abdulaziz Ibn Saud's rule Cheesman's expedition combined geographical surveying with zoological collecting in regions of the Arabian interior that had received limited European scientific investigation. He mapped the Arabian coast between the Gulf of Salwa and Uqair established geographical positions in the Hufuf region and investigated the location of ancient Gerrha a trading center associated with the classical history of eastern Arabia. His observations and survey results were presented to Ibn Saud at his court in Hufuf. Cheesman also collected more than 300 natural history specimens in the Al-Hasa region including mammals and birds contributing to the scientific documentation of Arabian fauna. His discoveries included the gerbil species subsequently named Gerbillus cheesmani in his honor. Cheesman Robert Ernest. In Unknown Arabia. London: Macmillan & Co. 1926. First edition.

1710réf. 144631710. Cluverius Philipp. Arabia Eudaemon ex Plinio Lib VI 1710. Original hand-colored copperplate map of the Arabian Peninsula drawing upon the geographical descriptions of Arabia recorded by the Roman natural historian Pliny the Elder in Book VI of his Naturalis Historia. The title referring to Arabia Felix or "Fortunate Arabia" recalls the classical geographical division of the peninsula into Arabia Felix Arabia Deserta and Arabia Petraea. The map belongs to the European tradition of historical cartography in which ancient Greek and Roman geographical accounts continued to inform printed maps well into the eighteenth century. Its depiction of the peninsula records the transmission of classical geographical knowledge through early modern European atlas production. Cluverius Philipp attributed. Arabia Eudaemon ex Plinio Lib VI. 1710. Original hand-colored copperplate engraving measuring approximately 8½" x 12". The map presents the Arabian Peninsula according to classical geographical sources incorporating historical place names and geographical divisions associated with the ancient understanding of Arabia. Its engraved delineation and hand coloring distinguish the landmass and geographical features. The map follows the cartographic work of Philipp Clüver 1580-1622 whose Introductionis in Universam Geographiam was repeatedly published in European editions throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Clüver's geographical writings combined classical literary sources with the cartographic scholarship of his period and his maps circulated widely through successive editions of his geographical handbook. The reference to Pliny in the title identifies the ancient textual source underlying this depiction of Arabia preserving geographical terminology inherited from Roman antiquity rather than presenting an exclusively contemporary survey of the peninsula. The map has general age-related toning with vibrant hand coloring remaining intact. Overall in very good condition. unknown

1752Detailed analysis of Banian and Parsi creationist beliefs, including the first humans, the first and second age of the world, God's communication to the world through Bremaw's book (Banian), ceremonial law, order of government, the derivation and meaning of 'Banian,' and 'Persee,' and more. This is the first printed summary of Hindu doctrines and practices to appear in Europe. Topics examined include idolatry, fire worship, immortality, rapture, vegetarianism, the Indian caste system and Hindu theory of world cycles - specifically Satya Yuga and Treta Yuga, as well as Persian migration to the East Indies, the prophet Zerdusht (Zarthusthra, Zarthost), so forth. A fascinating early treatise. Henry Lord's book was the first in English to be entirely devoted to discussion of Indian religions, and represents the first serious attempt to go beyond reports by travellers of the strange religious beliefs and practices that they had observed in India. Initially publishing his account in 1630, Lord was a chaplain, rather than a missionary, and made a serious attempt to understand the religions rather than condemn them. The display was used as a source by later European writers on Indian religions, most notably François Bernier. "Lord was sometime resident in India at Surat and Preacher to the Honourable Company of Merchants trading to East India (Cox I p.270)." Folio, measuring approximately 13.5 inches x 9 inches. 42 pages, numbered from 315 to 356, plus title page. In itself complete, this account is from Churchill's eight-volume work which contained numerous travel narratives, and was titled "A Collection of Voyages and Travels, Some Now First Printed from Original Manuscripts. Others Now First Published in English." These are the original pages printed in 1752. Mild foxing, otherwise in very good condition, clean and bright with wide margins, a lovely example of early printing. Attractively bound in recent green cardstock covers with label.
