"Prima edizione ufficiale". “Nel 1919, durante la conferenza di Parigi, aveva scritto il suo grande libro sulla rivolta araba, "The seven pillars of Wisdom": il primo manoscritto venne smarrito da L. in treno. Il volume, pubblicato in numero assai limitato di copie, apparve nel 1921 e poi ancora nel 1926 con molti rimaneggiamenti proposti da G.B. Shaw, amico dello scrittore; alcuni giudizi su persone ancora vive e su azioni di guerra furono soppressi. Solo nel 1935 apparve l’edizione per il pubblico. Uomo dalla straordinaria personalità di condottiero e nello stesso tempo di artista, L. ha creato, con "The Seven pillars", un’opera affascinante nella quale la pagina di cronaca si mescola con l’ispirazione poetico-letteraria, l’ufficiale in missione si alterna col viaggiatore e l’archeologo... “Monumento” che rimane a testimonianza delle sue imprese, "The Seven Pillars", ha un eccezionale valore artistico e rimane fra i capolavori più singolari della letteratura moderna” (Cfr. Diz. Univers. della Letteratura contemporanea, Mondadori,III, p. 73). Solo qualche rara e lieviss. fioritura, altrimenti testo ben conservato, con barbe.

1962Very Good Turkish Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish with facsimile plates of an Arabic manuscript. 10 p. text, [26] pages in [13] plates of original Arabic manuscript from the Ayasofya Kütüphanesi [i.e. St. Sophia Library of Istanbul] preserved in 2926 / 18-31, dated 829 AH. [1412-1413 AD]. Al-Shanfarâ (?-525 CE) was a semi-legendary pre-Islamic poet tentatively associated with ?âif, and the supposed author of the celebrated poem Lâmiyyât al-Arab. He enjoys a status as a figure of an archetypal outlaw antihero (su'luk), critiquing the hypocrisies of his society from his position as an outsider. Al-Shanfarâ is most famous for, supposedly, composing the Lamiyyat al-'Arab, or "L-poem" of the Arabs. Although its attribution has been disputed ever since medieval times, the memorable first-person figure of the misanthropic brigand celebrating his position on the edge of society that the poem draws has strongly influenced views of al-Shanfarâ. We can if nothing else say that if the Lâmiyyât is a later composition, it positions al-Shanfarâ as the archetypal outlaw of a pre-Islamic heroic age, viewed nostalgically from a later era.
