2011New English Original bdg. Small 4to. 184, 564, 216 p. A heavy volume. Ills. In Arabic. This is a facsimile edition of the copy (Mushaf) of the Holy Quran which is attributed to the time of Ali b. Abi Talib and located in Sana'a, Yemen. It comes out as a third publication in IRCICA's series of editions of oldest copies of the Quran. Earlier IRCICA had published editions, accompanied by descriptive and comparative studies, of two Quran copies that are attributed to the time of Othman b. Affan namely the copies of Topkapi, Istanbul and al-Mashhad al-Husayni, Cairo. The other copies attributed to the same period are in the following cities: Istanbul (the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts, edition published by ISAM, Istanbul, 2008); London; Paris; St. Petersburg, and Tashkent. There are other editions of Quran copies that IRCICA published outside this series. One of them is the copy dated 582 H/1186 and known as the Fazil Pasha (Sherifovic) Mushaf, which is located in Gazi Husrevbegova Library, Sarajevo. Another edition, supervised by IRCICA, is the reprint of the Mushaf of Kazan dated 1803 which is known to be the first copy printed in the Muslim world; it was reprinted in cooperation with Kazan Municipality in the year 2005 corresponding to the millennium of Kazan city. By publishing these editions, with studies in the case of the former ones, IRCICA aims to contribute in preserving them and making them known and accessible to all. The Sana'a copy is located at the Grand Mosque of Sana'a. The elaborate Introduction to the edition is a study by Dr. Tayyar Altikulaç, specialist of the history of copies of the Quran and ex-Head of Religious Affairs in Turkey. The study is a concise history of the dissemination of the Holy Quran through its copies and of the developments relating to script, orthography, punctuation, locations, etc. of the copies. It examines, describes and analyses the characteristics of the Sana'a copy as to script, orthography, binding, etc. It also describes the other copies attributed to the period of Othman b. Affan as well as the copy printed by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran, Medina, which is known to be in conformity with the orthography of the time of Othman b. Affan. IRCICA planned to publish this edition during the 2010-2011 period which, at the suggestion of IRCICA, was designated by the 2010 meeting of the OIC's Council of Foreign Ministers as the "1400th Year of the Revelation of the Holy Quran". The Council had invited all OIC member countries and Muslims' associations and institutions world-wide to commemorate this anniversary of the beginning of the revelation with cultural and scholarly activities that would contribute in diffusing a correct and deeper understanding of the Holy Quran. IRCICA for its part is honoured to have been able to record this publication among its activities related to the said Year.

1930réf. 182334London: Geographical Section General Staff War Office 1930. Later impression overprinted with a Cassini grid in 1930 following the first edition of 1926. This map of the Aden Protectorate and its neighbours was produced for the International Map of the World a project that aimed to create a complete world map at a 1:1000000 scale. It covers South Yemen and the Hadhramaut as well as the tip of French Somaliland. The International Map of the World or the Millionth Map of the World was first proposed by German geographer Albrecht Penck in 1891. The project was adopted by ten countries in 1909 who agreed to follow consistent rules and standards for mapping their own territories. While countries like the US and UK made strides at first "production was slow in the earlier years since it was first necessary to complete basic surveys for the required data and during and after World War II there was little interest in pursuing the project" Ency.

2020New Arabic Original bdg. 4to. In Arabic and Turkish. 2 volumes set: (77, 1563, 72 p.). Mushaf-i Serif (Topkapi Sarayi Müzesi nüshasi, Medine Nr. 1). 2 volumes set. Prep. by Tayyar Altikulaç. One of the main chapters of IRCICA s research program titled "Studies on the Holy Quran" consists of analytical and comparative studies on historical and physical features of early copies of the Holy Quran which are located at different places around the world. These studies, published by IRCICA, not only enrich the academic literature in the field but also highlight the clear evidence of the authenticity of the Holy Quran, thus refuting some Western +authors suggestions to the contrary. The following volumes have been published by IRCICA in this series, in the order of publication: the copies attributed to the time of the Third Caliph, Othman bin Affan RA and preserved, respectively, at Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul and the Central Library of Islamic Manuscripts (originally founded as Mashhad al-Husayn) in Cairo; the copy attributed to the time of the Fourth Caliph Ali bin Abi Talib KAW and located in the Manuscripts Library near Sana a Grand Mosque, that attributed to the period of the Third Caliph, Othman bin Affan RA and preserved at the Islamic Arts Museum in Cairo, the partial copy preserved at the National Library of France, Paris, the partial copy at Tubingen University Library, Germany, the partial copy at British Library, London, the copy located at State Library in Berlin, Germany, and now, a two-volume study on the copy which is located in the collection of Fahreddin Pasha ("Defender of Madina" during World War I) at Topkapi Palace Museum Library, Istanbul. This new book contains the scholarly study by Dr. Tayyar Altikulac, specialist of studies on the Holy Quran and ex-President of Religious Affairs in Turkey, on this copy. The latter was brought from Madina to Istanbul by Fahreddin Pasha. The study is composed of elaborate chapters written with utmost depth and meticulosity. Some of the subjects dealt with are: the history of the copy, its physical condition and contents, its descent, its relationship with the known pronunciations, its orthography, the period when it was copied, and the method applied in the study.

In addition to showing the states of Kathiri Mahra and Qu'aiti it also highlights the members of the Federation of South Arabia in colour and features three inset maps which show the entire region the island of Socotra and the State of Aden. The Directorate of Overseas Surveys was established in 1946 with responsibility for surveying parts of the British Empire that did not have the resources to otherwise map themselves. "The Directorate was charged with two key tasks. It was to provide national geodetic frameworks throughout the British Empire that would contribute to understanding the size and shape of the earth and constitute the basis for accurate mapping. It would also produce mapping using modern methods based on aerial photography. This would in turn help to inform the development and administration of each country" Natural Collection of Aerial Photography. This copy is the fourth edition.

A brief border war took place in October 1972 ending with the Cairo Agreement which proposed unification of the two Yemeni states.
