2011508901Ashgate 2011. Hardcover. FINE. 615pp. Perfectbound in printed hard covers sans DJ as issued. FINE copy entirely clean and sharp. 'This volume presents the first edition of the Arabic translation by Hunayn ibn Ishaq of Galen's Critical Days De diebus decretoriis together with the first translation of the text into a modern language. The substantial introduction contextualizes the treatise within the Greek and Arabic traditions. Galen's Critical Days was a founding text of astrological medicine. In febrile illnesses the critical days are the days on which an especially severe pattern of symptoms a crisis was likely to occur. The crisis was thought to expel the disease-producing substances from the body. If its precise timing were known the physician could prepare the patient so that the crisis would be most beneficial. After identifying the critical days based on empirical data and showing how to use them in therapy Galen explains the critical days via the moon's influence. In the historical introduction Glen Cooper discusses the translation of the Critical Days in Arabic and adumbrates its possible significance in the intellectual debates and political rivalries among the 9th-century Baghdad elite. It is argued that Galen originally composed the Critical Days both to confound the Skeptics of his own day and to refute a purely mathematical rationalist approach to science. These features made the text useful in the rivalries between Baghdad scholars. Al-Kindi d.c. 866 famously propounded a mathematical approach to science akin to the latter. The scholar-bureaucrat responsible for funding this translation Muhammad ibn Musa d. 873 al-Kindi's nemesis may have found the treatise useful in refuting that approach. The commentary and notes to the facing page translation address issues of translation as well as important concepts.'. Ashgate hardcover

18814680Madrid: Imprenta de La Iberia á cargo de J. Blasco 1881. Facsimile 1st Thus. Good. An 1881 facsimile of a 13th century medieval manuscript. Translated from the Arabic to early Spanish at the commission of King Alfonso X of Castile and by a Jewish scholar Yehuda ben Moshe. This represents one of the earliest examples of Spanish being used in the writing of manuscripts rather than Latin or Arabic. Regarding many topics including the magical properties of stones and talismans astronomy and philosophy. Complete with prologue facsimile letters dated to 1883 complete Lapidario in 236 actual sized color prints on strong paper a second manuscript in 28 actual sized color prints on strong paper and 76 pages of contemporary to the facsimile writings. The dates of the letters leads me to believe that this book was compiled after the initial run of the facsimile with the additional letters and manuscript added - I am unable to locate another copy stating that these pieces are present. Bound in brown buckram with a brown cloth spine. Paper label containing the title on spine along with a cataloguing number on bottom likely ex-library. Pasted description on front pastedown reads: "The Translation of the Celebrated Arabic Book was made in MS. by order of King Alfonso X in the year 1276 an exact facsimile of this splendid specimen of 13th century art reproduced in color with 353 beautiful initial letters 18 other full-page and smaller illuminations and 340 head-and-tail pieces with Introductory History and Transcript of the Text." All pages present some weakness at spine to some pages but all remain bound. Some scuffing to covers and rounding of corners. An exceptional and complete facsimile of one of the most important early commissions in Spanish and of medieval art. <br /> <br /> Pages: 20 12 236 28 76 Dimensions: 12⅜ x 9⅛ x 1½.

1971171721al-Khobar: The International Publications Industries 1971. Keep the following in mind and everything will be easy Fourth printing of this institutionally rare phrasebook which adopts "a short cut method simple and easy enough for a businessman to teach himself the spoken Arabic while relaxing in the Aircraft or in his Hotel room. Many of the oil industry people in Arabia owe their local friendship to this book". Arranged by topic the book has sections on greetings shopping food and drink and other practicalities such as taking one's car to a mechanic. The unnamed author places a premium on language as a key to understanding local culture: "you will find the Gulf Arabs intensely loyal to their friends as well as to their families. Most of them are blessed with a keen sense of humor. For these and other reasons such as their hospitality and courtesy you will enjoy getting acquainted with them". Further sections discuss the etiquette of being a guest at a traditional wedding and how to behave if invited to a private house as a guest.

186392359London: Samuel Bagster 1863. Hardcover. Very Good. viii 118p. Original cloth. Titled in gilt on front cover. 16 cm. Modest fading on backstrip and around edges of front cover. Library stamping on front free endpaper indicating that this was owned and discarded by Redemptorist Communities in Ireland. Arabic text with Introduction in English. Ferrette identified on the title page as a missionary of the irish Presbyterian Church at Damascus believed that he had come up with a great typographic method for dealing with the vowel problem in Arabic type. Ferrette's suggested fix did not catch on and his suggested fix is now mostly forgotten. Most copies located by OCLC list W. M. Watts as publisher and are dated 1863 on the title-page. This copy with the same pagination lists Bagster as publisher and is undated. We suspect that Bagster persuaded the publisher or Ferrette to issue some copies with Bagster's name as publisher for sale in Bagster's theological bookstore. We doubt that it is a later or second edition. OCLC locates one copy Huntington with the Bagster imprint. It is dated as 1836 which seems likely to be an error in dating caused by transposing the last two numbers. Samuel Bagster hardcover
