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

1830ABC_483971830. Contemporary navy blue morocco with the title lettered in gold on spine marbled endpapers. 4to 21.5 x 27 cm. With 2 folding tables 17 lines to the page written in red and black ink. A unique handwritten vocabulary and phrasebook of English and Arabic from the first half of the 19th century. This meticulously prepared manuscript is written in the fashion of a printed book opening with a title page and ending with an index of topics. It is divided into four main sections: nouns adjectives verbs and example sentences. The vocabulary especially in the nouns section is arranged by subjects which include such interesting headings as "Druggist" "Painter" "Merchant" "Cities" "the Bride's Paraphernalia" "Precious Jewels" "War" "The Church" "Clerical Vestments" "Ecclesiastical Degrees & Kinds of Sin" "Festivals" and "Monks their prayers and their dress". Presumably the dictionary was created to help a traveller or merchant who may have had an association with the Church. The final section offers an interesting selection of phrases and sheds some light on the experience of foreign language learning in the early 19th century. The phrases are a mixture of sentences that would be useful in daily life and such as would be included to practice the words from the vocabulary. Examples include: "We roasted a lamb and ate the whole of it and drank wine with it"; "I descended from above with the youth my enemy"; "I shot the bear in the water and he sank"; and "Why dost thou scratch thy head and spit in fire". As a cheat sheet for Arabic grammar the author includes two folding tables of Arabic verb tenses and conjugations. Overall a curious example of a 19th-century Arabic vocabulary and phrasebook.With a presentation note in English indicating it was a Christmas gift in 1881 presented by G. W. Bernard Esq. Binding and spine worn some browning and staining throughout. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

195815776New York NY: Pantheon 1958. First of this edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good . NY: Pantheon Books 1958. First of the first complete edition in English translated from the Arabic. Written in 1377 by Arabic scholar Ibn Kahldun. In 3 volumes boxed. Very good in good unclipped jackets with light chipping and staining. A very good set overall. No former owner marks. Slipcase is also very good. "The concept of "ʿasabiyyah" Arabic: "tribalism clanism communitarism" or in a modern context "group feeling" "social cohesion" "solidarity" or even "nationalism" is one of the best known aspects of the Muqaddimah. As this ʿasabiyyah declines another more compelling 'asabiyyah may take its place; thus civilizations rise and fall. History describes these cycles of ʿasabiyyah as they play out. Ibn Khaldun argues that each dynasty has within itself the seeds of its own downfall. He explains that ruling houses tend to emerge on the peripheries of great empires and use the unity presented by those areas to their advantage in order to bring about a change in leadership" Wiki.

1848ST14540Leipsic Leipzig: Guillaume Vogel fils 1848. FIRST EDITION. 225 x 142 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". XXV pp. 4 p.l. 231 pp. <br/> VERY ATTRACTIVE AND UNUSUAL CONTEMPORARY BLUE CLOTH BY F. J. CRUSIUS OF LEIPZIG his ticket on verso of front free endpaper WITH ORNATE STAMPED DECORATION IN THE ROMANTIC STYLE in gilt colors and blind covers with rocaille frame and large central arabesque in red and gilt smooth black roan spine with stylized gilt vine brown and tan lattice-work printed endpapers and edges. Text in French and Arabic on facing pages. Front flyleaf with AUTHOR'S INK PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION to Monsieur P. Desmaison see below. ◆One corner slightly bumped leaves lightly and uniformly browned due to paper quality a few other trivial imperfections but A NEARLY FINE AND VERY PLEASING COPY with few signs of wear inside or out.<br/> <br/> This is a beautifully preserved copy of a rare guide to spoken Arabic that features special provenance in an embossed and painted cloth binding that can almost pass as onlaid morocco. Our author Sheikh Mouhammad Ayaad El-Tantavy or al-Tantawi 1810-61 was an instructor of languages and literature at Al Azahr University in Egypt when he came to the attention of Russian diplomats in Cairo whose interpreter had attended his classes. The Russian consul to the Ottoman Empire which then occupied Egypt requested that El-Tantavy be lent to the Institute of Oriental Languages in the Russian foreign ministry and once he arrived in St. Petersburg in 1840 he never left. In addition to teaching languages at the school for Russian diplomats he was a professor of Arabic at St. Petersburg University eventually becoming the Chair of Arabic Studies. The present work is a guide to spoken Arabic for diplomats with the parallel texts in Arabic and French then the international language for diplomacy. France Russia and the Ottoman Empire had been engaged in a series of conflicts for some years so this tool would have had very practical application. It is recommended in the 1855 book "The Languages of the Seat of War in the East" by Friedrich Max Muller. The present copy is inscribed by the author to Jean-Jacques-Pierre Desmaisons 1807-73 the Franco-Russian director of training in Oriental languages in the Asiatic department of the Russian foreign ministry and El-Tantavy's supervisor there. The fact that Desmaisons would not have needed to make practical use of our volume goes some way to account for its fine condition. Binder F. J. Crusius developed machinery to facilitate the lavish decoration of bindings in innovative ways--like using paint to imitate leather as in the present example--achieving aesthetically pleasing results with far less labor and expense than would have been necessitated by hand work. The "Report of the Assessment Commission at the General German Industrial Exhibition in Munich in 1854" notes that Crusius displayed plan drawings of his invention at the fair. Copies of the first edition of this work are rare with OCLC finding just 12 in libraries worldwide and none in North America. We could find no copies recorded at auction. Guillaume Vogel fils unknown

1770ABC_48344Probably Egypt 1770. Near-contemporary brown leather with a blind-stamped oriental rosette as a center piece and similar style corner pieces on both boards a partial manuscript title label on the spine. 4to ca. 17 x 22 cm. Arabic and Italian manuscript on paper 19 lines per extensum paginated throughout from right to left. Manuscript dictionary comprising some 9000 Arabic terms and their Italian translations. It was formerly owned by the German oriental scholar and Franciscan priest Arsenius Rehm 1738-1808 who lived in Cairo between 1769 and 1776 building a large collection of manuscripts which he brought with him when he worked for some time at the Franciscan abbey of Frauenberg at Fulda Hesse. After his death his collection remained at the monastery until it was purchased by the Benedictine Abbey of St Boniface Munich in 1852. The present volume which had not been part of the collection proper remained in Frauenberg whose library was dispersed in 2021 by the Franciscan Province. "The library includes a fairly extensive Arabic dictionary of his though not written by him. It offers only the Italian translation of the Arabic words. In the Arabic style it begins from our perspective at the end" cf. Bihl.With old stamps of the Frauenberg Abbey library on the final leaf with attribution to Arsenius Rehm in indelible pencil ca. 1900. The binding is somewhat rubbed and scuffed; remains of old spine labels. Interior shows only occasional light staining; very well preserved.l Michael Bihl Geschichte des Franziskanerklosters Frauenberg Fulda 1907 p. 137. hardcover

Ouadây aka as Ouaddaï or Wadai is an area a former Sultanate in the east of Lake Chad and the border with Sudan. The Wadai Empire or Sultanate known locally as Burgu or Birgu emerged in the 17th century through conquest of the ruling Tunjur people of the area displacing them from the lands of the Sultanate of Darfur. It was overthrown by France in 1909/1912 and reconstituted under France in 1935. When Chad became independent in 1960 it became part of that new state. Its capital is Abéché.
