1979508629Institute for the History of Arabic Science 1979. Paperback. VERY GOOD. Critical text of Pseudo-Apollonios in Arabic with German introduction. 702pp. 4to sewn binding in publisher's printed wraps. Hinges reinforced with scotch tape tips a bit worn sound and unmarked otherwise. Quite a scarce volume. 'Here for the first time in the history of orientalist scholarship is a complete critical edition of the Kitäb sirr al-khaliqa The Book of the Secret of Creation in its Arabic text; it is also titled Kitab al-'ilal The Book of the Causes. A separate study of the tradition of the text together with a German abstract is planned to be published in the series Ars Medica. Together with the Tabula Smaragdina which originally had its place at the end of this treatise the Kitäb sirr al-khaliqa was one of the best known and most influential treatises in Arabic and Latin medieval alchemy and cosmology. Long ago this book was correctly identified as a spurious work of Apollonius of Tyana. No Greek predecessor is known and the Arabic text in the present form was probably composed around the time of the caliph Ma'mun A.D. 813-833. In many respects the Kitab sirr al-khaliqa resembles the Book of Treasures by Job of Edessa: like it the Kitäb sirr al-khaliga sheds a good deal of light on the broad spectrum of often rather crude explanations of the natural phenomena human physiology and pyschology and philosophical problems that provide the fertile soil for the growing scientific movement in the Islamic culture of the early ninth century. More specifically this Arabic text is of enormous interest for the study of the development of a scientific terminology in that language. The edition is mainly based on four manuscripts representing the most archaic recension and chosen from among seventeen that were examined out of some forty known to be extant. Even the critical edition of the Latin version prepared by M. T. D'Alverny and F. Hudry was consulted in a first draft. When we further consider that the editor had to write the 702-page Arabic text with all the variants diligently by hand the reader cannot fail to feel grateful for an amazingly well-executed contribution to the carly history of Arabic science.'

Bears the signatures of Edward Stanley Pauly H. A. Collins Imperial Potentate. R. M. Cowell Imperial Recorder and D. e. Barclay Recorder Al Malaikah Temple. Edward Stanley Pauly 1870- 1948 was a Vice President of Security-First National Bank. He began his career as a messenger boy served there in every department of the organization during his nearly 60 years with this renown financial institution. He was a member of the California Club Los Angeles Country Club Masons and Al Malaikah Temple of the Shriners. Architect Arthur R. Kelly designed the English Tudor Revival style house for Edward S. and Pauline L. Pauly in 1923. Arthur Rolland Kelly 1878-1957 was an American architect. The house is located at 114 South Rossmore Avenue in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles California. His specialization was in homes of Spanish Colonial Revival style and Tudor Revival style. Most of his clients chose to have his designs built on lots they had purchased in Holmby Hills Beverly Hills and San Marino California. A few of Kelly's many designs included the William S. Hart Ranch in Newhall the Arthur Letts Jr. estate now known as The Playboy Mansion Beverly Hills estates for J. Crampton Anderson John Blystone Richard Dix Johnny Mack Brown and many others. Kelly also designed all the buildings for the Westlake School for Girls now known as Harvard-Westlake School in Bel-Air and the Wilshire Country Club in Hancock Park. Shriners International also commonly known as The Shriners or formerly known as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine AAONMS is a Masonic society established in 1870 and is headquartered in Tampa Florida. Shriners International describes itself as a fraternity based on fun fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love relief and truth. There are approximately 350000 members from 196 temples chapters in the US Canada Brazil Bolivia Mexico Panama the Philippines Europe and Australia. The organization is best known for the Shriners Hospitals for Children that it administers and the red fezzes that members wear. The organization was previously known as "Shriners North America". The idea of a new fraternity for Masons stressing fun and fellowship was discussed. Walter M. Fleming and William J. Florence took the idea seriously enough to act upon it. Florence a world-renowned actor while on tour in Marseille was invited to a party given by an Arab diplomat. The entertainment was something in the nature of an elaborately staged musical comedy. At its conclusion the guests became members of a secret society. Florence took copious notes and drawings at his initial viewing and on two other occasions once in Algiers and once in Cairo. When he returned to New York in 1870 he showed his material to Fleming. Fleming created the ritual emblem and costumes. Florence and Fleming were initiated August 13 1870 and they initiated 11 other men on June 16 1871 In an effort to encourage membership at the June 6 1876 meeting of Mecca Temple the Imperial Grand Council of the Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America was created. Fleming was elected the first Imperial Potentate. After some other reworking by 1878 there were 425 members in 13 temples in eight states and by 1888 there were 7210 members in 48 temples in the United States and Canada. By the Imperial Session held in Washington D.C. in 1900 there were 55000 members and 82 Temples.

1974052337Istanbul: Publication of the Mathematical Research Institute 1974. Leather. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original decorative full red leather bound. Gilt traditional style on boards. Large demy 8vo. 22 x 15 cm. Bilingual preface in German and Turkish. 12 2 p. 49 p. facsimile in Arabic. ills. Das Achte Buch zu den Conica des Apollonios von Perge. Rekonstruiert von Ibn al-Haysam. Herausgegeben und eingeleitet von Nazim Terzioglu. Ibn al-Haytham Alhazen was born c. 965 to an Arab family in Basra Iraq which was at the time part of the Buyid emirate. He held a position with the title vizier in his native Basra and made a name for himself for his knowledge of applied mathematics. As he claimed to be able to regulate the flooding of the Nile he was invited to by Fatimid Caliph al-Hakim in order to realise a hydraulic project at Aswan. However Ibn al-Haytham was forced to concede the impracticability of his project. Upon his return to Cairo he was given an administrative post. After he proved unable to fulfill this task as well he contracted the ire of the caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah and is said to have been forced into hiding until the caliph's death in 1021 after which his confiscated possessions were returned to him. Legend has it that Alhazen feigned madness and was kept under house arrest during this period. During this time he wrote his influential Book of Optics. Alhazen continued to live in Cairo in the neighborhood of the famous University of al-Azhar and lived from the proceeds of his literary production until his death in c. 1040. Among his students were Sorkhab Sohrab a Persian from Semnan and Abu al-Wafa Mubashir ibn Fatek an Egyptian prince. Signed and inscribed by Nazim Terzioglu 1912-1976 was one of the first mathematicians in Turkish academia. One of the contributions of Terzioglu as the director of the Mathematics Research Institute to Turkey's mathematical culture and the history of science was the systematic scan of the Islamic literature relevant to mathematics and the presentation of the information related to conic sections in ancient mathematics to the scientific community. As a result of these efforts the facsimile of two ancient texts of mathematics originally written in Arabic were realized. The first one is the preface of Mecmuatu'r-risail the Arabic translation by Beni Musa b. Sakir died in 873 of Conica which is the work of Apollonius of Perga BC 262-190 on the conic sections. This preface published with the title Das Vorwort des Astronomen Bani Musa b. Sakir describes how the Apollonius' Conica was acquired by the Islamic world. After that Terzioglu published the facsimile of the copy of the lost 8th book of Apollonius' Conica which was rewritten by Ibnu'l-Heysem 965-1039 with the help from other sources. In the introduction part of this book with the title Das Achte Buch zu den Conica des Apollonios von Perge the following information is provided in summary: In ancient mathematics the interest for conics starts with Menaechmus BC IV. Century and reaches the summit with Apollonius of Perga. Apollonius wrote his famous work Conica by processing previous information and adding up his own inventions. The first 7 volumes of this work consisting of 8 volumes in total are known whereas the 8th volume is missing. The Islamic and Western mathematicians working in this field took place in the reconstruction of the 8th volume. The most successful one of these works is that of Edmund Halley's 1656-1742 Apollonii Per-gaei conicorum Oxoniae 1710. The 8th book of Conica reconstructed by Ibn el-Heysem is the 4th manuscript with the name Makalatu'l-Hasan b.el-Hasan b.el Heysem fi el-kitabu'l-mahrutat in the Mecmu'atu'r-risail which is recorded under no. 1796 in Manisa Library. The fact that Ibn el-Heysem completed this work nearly 700 years before Halley is interesting. <br/> <br/> Publication of the Mathematical Research Institute hardcover
