1947184799London: Geographical Section General Staff 1947. Arabic and military cartography Rare first and only edition of this Arabic glossary for use on foreign maps produced by the British War Office. It explains the use of Arabic terms on maps covering territories to the east of the Libyan-Egyptian border and was part of an extensive series published in the 1940s. The spelling and transliteration follow the RGS II System conventions devised by the Royal Geographical Society's Permanent Committee on Geographical Names in 1921 updating those used by the War Office and Admiralty after 1885. The introduction includes a survey of the history of the Arabic language its alphabet pronunciation and dialects in view of instructing soldiers pilots and surveyors on how to read and pronounce names on maps of the Middle East. "An Arabic word may appear on European maps in numerous transliterated forms each depending upon the national authority of the map and the principle of transliteration applied to the names on it" p. 2 due to the "considerable play" between a e and i and other such alternative renditions of specific letters and sounds. The four-column table provides abbreviations transliteration the Arabic-script version and the meaning of Arabic words commonly found on maps. For instance aqra' is rendered as "without vegetation" ashqar as "reddish" ghurd as "sand dune" and zallaq as "slippery place" specifying if a noun is a plural and/or in a different grammatical case. Words originating from other languages Berber Hebrew Greek Latin Turkish and Persian are also identified. Octavo 270 x 185 mm. pp. 28 2. Text in Arabic and English.

The woodcuts are remarkable examples of Tempesta's work notable for their clarity of composition and their didactic narrative of the episodes depicted. Ex libris Luigi Bossi Milan 1758-1835 with his engraved heraldic bookplate to front pastedown along with T. Fenteman & Sons Leeds booksellers label to upper corner. Title-page lightly browned boards faded and discoloured some occasional light toning generally a very good copy printed on thick paper the woodcuts in strong impressions throughout. Rare 1619 reissue or of the original 1591 stock of the Arabic Medicean Gospels. The text lines are almost identical with those of the Arabic issue but now have an interlinear Latin version added which was prepared by Antonius Sionita. In 1584 the last year of the papacy of Gregory XIII who had constantly endeavoured to effect a union between the Church of Rome and the eastern Christians Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici the brother and later the successor of the Grand Duke of Tuscany founded a printing press in Rome with a vast selection of oriental types cut by the French typographer Robert Granjon. Run by a versatile orientalist Giovan Battista Raimondi the press had various aims. One was to produce propaganda which would attract the eastern Christians to Roman Catholicism. Another was to corner the publishing market in an area where typography was prohibited and to make a financial profit from the sale in the east of books printed in Arabic. The third aim was to further European knowledge and to provide good editions of Arabic versions of certain standard non-religious texts. These included the writings of Avicenna al-Idrisi's geographical compendium al-Tusi's adaptation of Euclid's text on geometry and various works on Arabic grammar and syntax. The first major publication was the 1591 edition of the Gospels. This copy has an interlinear Latin translation but the work was also issued solely in Arabic. It contains 149 fine woodcut illustrations made by Leonardo Parasole mainly after designs by one of the best known Florentine artists of his day Antonio Tempesta who owed much of his fame to the frescoes he painted in the Vatican and in a number of Roman palaces. The woodcut in the Gospel of St Mark of the presentation of the head of John the Baptist to Salome Mark 6:28 by a man in Turkish dress reminds us of the common association between the great enemy of Christendom in the sixteenth century and the ancient heathens. The Arabic text is printed in Robert Granjon's famous large fount generally considered the first satisfactory Arabic printing type; as all early printed editions of the Arabic Gospels it is based on the Alexandrian Vulgate cf. Darlow/M. 1636. The Latin version is by Leonardo Sionita. The work begins with page 9 without a title-page or any preliminary matter at all: "the intended prefatory matter was apparently never published" Darlow/M.
