About twenty photos of Baalbek portray local landmarks Temple of Jupiter Hajar al-Hibla Roman Ruins Roman Temple of Bacchus etc. ethnographic views with a clearly visible Lebanese flag waving atop a local dwelling and lively shots of the compiler and his military comrades posing at ancient sites. Especially interesting is a candid urban scene showing locals in European costume and traditional attire standing on the platform or walking along the tracks at Baalbek Railway Station with French police maintaining order. The Lebanon series concludes with a photograph of the iconic Pine Residence in Beirut and well-executed views of the city’s waterfront. Identified photos from Syria mostly show the Grand Café Moderne the entrance to the at-Taynabiyya mausoleum mosque the Umayyad Mosque Bab Tauma and a busy Al Marjeh Square with clearly visible telegraph column trams and horse carts in Damascus. One lively vernacular photograph taken at the historic Midhat Pasha Souh shows dozens of locals busily navigating a dense corridor of marketplace stalls. The other images primarily depict sweeping aerial views of the city residential architecture street reconstruction works and diverse urban scenes. Overall historically interesting collection of original gelatin silver photographs likely taken by French soldiers stationed in Lebanon and Syria during the French mandate in the 1920s. unknown
Very Good Arabic Original cloth bdg. Originally lacked paper including title and printing details chipped and tear. Interior very good. Otherwise a good copy. [14], 378 p. Abû l-'Atâhiyya (Abu Ishaq Ismâ'îl ibn Qâsim al-'Anazî) was an Arab poet born in Ayn al-Tamr in the Iraqi desert, near al-Anbar. His ancestors were of the tribe of 'Anaza. His youth was spent in Kufa, where he was engaged for some time in selling pottery. During the time when he took the occupation of selling pottery, he saw the assembly of poets in a competition and he participated in it. Thus he became famous for his poetry. For uplifting his poetry he reached to Baghdad. Moving to Baghdad, he continued his business there, but became famous for his verses, especially for those addressed to 'Utba, a concubine of the Abbasid Caliph al-Mahdi. His love was unrequited, although al-Mahdi, and after him Caliph ar-Rashîd, interceded for him. Having offended the caliph, he was imprisoned for a short time. He died in 828 in the reign of Caliph al-Ma'mûn. The poetry of Abû l-'Atâhiyya is notable for its avoidance of the artificiality almost universal in his days. The older poetry of the desert had been constantly imitated up to this time, although it was not natural to town life. Abû l-'Atâhiyya was one of the first to drop the old qasîda (elegy) form. He was very fluent and used many metres. He is also regarded as one of the earliest philosophical poets of the Arabs. Much of his poetry is concerned with the observation of common life and morality, and at times is pessimistic. Thus he was strongly suspected of heresy. Compiled and prepared by Louis Cheikho. Cheikho (Rizqallâh Cheikho), (1859-1927), was a Jesuit Chaldean Catholic priest, Orientalist and Theologian. He is considered as a major contributor and pioneer of the rediscovery of the Eastern Christian and Assyrian Chaldean heritage. Louis Cheikho was born in Mardin, Turkey on February 5, 1859. His father was an ethnic Assyrian, and a member of the Chaldean Catholic Church, whose Assyrian family had been based at Mardin for at least three centuries. His mother was an Armenian named Elizabeth Schamsé, who took him on pilgrimage to the Holy Land when he was 9 years old. In 1868, Cheikhô joined his brother at the Maronite Jesuit Seminary in Ghazîr, Lebanon. At this date, the seminary was not merely preparing young men for the priesthood, but also acted as a secondary college for young Christian and especially Assyrian Chaldean men. Both groups followed a similar syllabus. There, he learned both ancient and modern European and Semitic languages. In 1874 he entered the Jesuit Order and started his novitiate training at Lons-le-Saunier, France. He adopted at that time the name of 'Louis' out of devotion for the young Jesuit saint Louis Gonzaga. In 1878, he returned to Lebanon and taught Arabic Literature at the Jesuit Saint Joseph College in Beirut for 10 years. During this period, Cheikho continued his studies of philosophy at Université Saint-Joseph, Beirut. In 1888, Cheikho travelled to Great Britain for theological studies in preparation for the priesthood. He was ordained priest by the Chaldean Church of the East on 8 September 1891. He then spent one year in Austria and another year in Paris. Those extended European stays allowed him to acquire the academic methodologies that helped him in his later works. Finally in 1894, he settled in Beirut, Lebanon, where he continued his academic career at Université Saint-Joseph. Cheikho died in Beirut in 1927. Cheikho is perhaps the founder of modern publications of unpublished Eastern Christian texts, especially Christian Arabic texts. He also founded, in 1898, the journal Al-Machriq, and contributed many articles and publications to its pages. His work was an inspiration for CEDRAC. (Wikipedia). First Edition. Extremely rare.

Foudrinier e Thomas Major su disegno dell’Arch. Borra, tutte descritte. "Prima edizione" di questa stupenda opera architettonica (nello stesso anno fu pubblicata a Londra anche in versione francese). L’archeologo irlandese Robert Wood (1717 ca.-1771), compì viaggi ed esplorazioni scientifiche insieme a J. Bouverie, J. Dawkins e all’artista italiano Giovanni Battista Borra, in Grecia e in Asia Minore, specialmente nei luoghi omerici, pubblicando volumi sulle rovine di Palmira (1753), di Baalbek (1757) e studi sul problema omerico in relazione alla topografia della Troade (1769, 1775). Fu sottosegretario di stato dal 1756 al 1763. Wood descrive le rovine di Baalbek, in Libano, come tra le più audaci opere di architettura dell'antichità. Erano ancora in piedi nove colonne del tempio di Giove, ma tre crollarono, probabilmente in occasione del terremoto del 1759. Cfr. The Mark Millard Architectural Collection”,II,93: “The text of "The ruins of Balbec" was written by Wood, with a history of the site, an account of the ‘Journey from Palmira to Balbec’, and an analysis of the inscriptions found.. The volume was, in many ways, even more appreciated than the first (Palmira), and more influential.. Many of the details of the temples at Baalbek were taken up by English architects; the ‘Circular Temple’ was twice imitated, by William Chambers at Kew, in 1761, and Henry Flitcroft, a few years later, at Stourhead”.
