However his push to expand Europe's appreciation for the orient extended beyond 'One Thousand and One Nights' to his own collection of Persian Arab and Turkish maxims entitled 'Les Paroles Remarquables'. 'The Remarkable Words and Maxims of Orientals' was first published in 1694 and saw immediate and widespread success much in part to it being shorter than similar works of maxims. </i>Dew p.186.</p><p><i>This book is filled with clever sayings witty jokes and short anecdotes that as Galland claims come from 'the Orientals'. <b>This first edition was an important piece in the development of Orientalism</b> in France and makes mention of various French authors and poets George Wheler's voyages Amelot de la Houssaye's travel notes and even a political testament from Cardinal Richelieu.</i></p><p>Item number: #8897</p><p>Price: $550</p><p>GALLAND Antoine </p><p><b><i>Les paroles remarquables les bons mots et les maximes des orientaux : traduction de leurs ouvrages en Arabe en Persan & en Turc</i></b></p><p>La Haye : Louis & Henry Van Dole 1694.

General Adolf Galland 1912-1996 one of Germany's leading fighter pilots of WWII served as General der Jagdflieger overall commander of the national fighter force from 1941 to 1945. His combat career began in the Spanish Civil War during which he completed over 300 missions with Condor Legion. Throughout the Battle of Britain he served with III/JG26 against England and Northern France and in 1942 devised the successul air protection of Operation CERBERUS the famous 'Channel Dash' of the SCHARNHORST GNEISENAU AND PRINZ EUGEN. Later in the same year he tested an early prototype of the Me262 the world's first operational jet fighter before leaving combat to concentrate on the air defence of Germany against the RAF and USAAF bombing offensive. Increasingly critical of higher Nazi authority he was relieved of his command following the 'Fighter Revolt' and returned to front-line duty with the elite Jagdverband in the Spring of 1945. He finished the war with 103 victories on over 700 missions and was awarded the Knight's Cross with Oakleaves Swords and Diamonds one of Germany's highest decorations. Galland's autobiography was first published as 'Die Ersten und die Letzen' in 1953 and is widely regarded as the most insightful and far-reaching account of WWII Axis air combat and one of the finest overall aviation memoirs of all time.

181714128Paris: A la Librairie d'Education d'Alexis Eymery.Et chez lAuteur. 1817 First edition of a rare book outlining a course of education for young girls. We were unable to locate another copy of this book in OCLC RLIN COPAC KVK or even the Biblliothèque Nationale. This is an abridgement of the author's other work Cours pratique d'Education à l'usage des jeunes Demoiselles which was published in three volumes from 1816 to 1817. This larger work is also rare. We could locate copies only in the Bibliothèque Nationale and Radboud Universiteit in Nijmegen Germany. Contemporary mottled sheep gilt spine with brown morocco label. Lacks the front free endpaper. . Twelvemo. Sixteen engraved plates of calligraphic models following p. 42 included in the pagination large engraved folding map preceding the geography section and nine plates showing principles of design not included in the pagination after the art section. Musical notation in the text within the music section. With the printed preliminary leaf stating that this is an authorized book and not a piracy signed by the author and the publisher. Small chip at head of spine twentieth-century ownership marks on front pastedown. A little light foxing. Overall a very good copy of a rare book. Little is known of the author who is credited with several books on education. His Principes élementaire de lecture d'ecriture de musique et de dessin 1817 was also published by Eymery. OCLC cites one copy of that book at the University of Delaware. We suspect it is also an abridgement of Cours pratique d'Education but it is smaller than our book. The calligraphy plates are by Alexandre Bourgoin who was a celebrated writing master and wrote several books on the subject. His birth and death dates are not listed in any of the souces we checked.
