1880ABC_487241880. Housed in a clear plastic sleeve. Three albumen prints each ca. 19.5 x 26 cm. Three historically important photographs by Pascal Sébah 1823-1886 showing festivities in Cairo. The first photograph depicts the ceremony of the Dosseh. During this event hundreds of dervishes lay on the ground in a long row while the Sheikh seated on a white horse trampled them. The event was incredibly popular in Cairo but also received extensive criticism from around the Muslim world because of its barbarism. The feast was banned in the late 1880s. The present photograph appears to be the only photograph ever taken of it.The other two photographs show the arrival of the holy carpet in Cairo. This carpet was woven every year by the best Egyptian craftsmen. It was then placed into the mahmal a special reliquary and carried to Mecca where it would cover the Kaaba during hajj. One of these two photographs is cut short and therefore missing its signature but it is almost certainly also by Pascal Sébah.Sébah founded a large photographic studio in the centre of Constantinople in 1857 which came to be called El Chark or "The Orient." He extensively photographed Egypt including views of many of the temples as well as rare portraits of tribespeople in the Nubian desert. His work is lauded for its beautiful lighing and compositions. He won a silver medal for his Egyptian photographs at the 1878 Exposition Universelle.The two photographs of the holy carpet are slightly foxed near the top edge and one of them is folded horizontally in the middle. Otherwise in good condition. unknown

1837202347<p>Venice: In Insula S. Lazari 1837. Hardcover. Very Good. Signed. Full leather binding with gilt lettering & decoration to spine gilt ruled borders on both boards all edges gilt marbled endpapers engraved frontispiece and title page 6-1/4" x 4†434 pp. Aucher’s name appears in three different versions on the first leaf: Armenian transliterated Armenian and Latin dated 1847. George Gordon Lord Byron traveled to the Island of St. Lazar where Father Pascal Aucher 1774-1854 taught him Armenian. Together they published Grammar of the English and Armenian Languages in 1819 and contributed to Aucher’s 1821 English Armenian Dictionary. Byron was devoted to the Armenian language writing: “I learned the language of the Armenians in order to understand how and what language the Gods spoke for the Armenian language is the language of the Gods and Armenia is the homeland of the Gods and the Gods come from the Ararat valley.â€A translation of twenty-four prayers one for each hour of the day of St. Nerses the Graceful translated into twenty-four languages. This is the culmination of an effort that first had 6 10 14 and then 16 translations. This effort was likely from many of the Mekhitarist monks at San Lazzaro degli Armeni. The monastery was founded in 1715 by twelve monks; when Byron visited there were 70; today there are 12 monks and five novices. Despite the small population St. Lazzaro has been a major center of Armenian studies for centuries and still maintains the third-largest library of Armenian materials in the world. This polyglot prayer book is notable not just for its place in Armenian history and the spread of Orthodoxy but it is also a typographic success in acquiring the various fonts.</p> In Insula S.

1880ABC_487181880. Housed in a clear plastic sleeve. Two albumen prints each ca. 27 x 21 cm signed and numbered in the negative. Two beautiful photographs by Jean Pascal Sébah 1872-1947 one of the most famous photographers of his time who specialised in Orientalist photography. He continued the business of his father Pascal Sébah 1823-1886 one of the first photographers working in Egypt. Apart from their photographs of important locations in the Middle East the Sébahs were known to stage genre scenes which were used as illustrations in scientific Orientalist publications. The present photographs were likely one of those scenes. They show four Arabic men demonstrating the positions of the raka'ah. The first photographs shows the first and second position standing and bowing or qiyam and ruku. The second photographs shows kneeling and the beginning of prostration or jalsa and sujud.Father and son Sébah rose to prominence because of their well-organized compositions careful lighting and quality of their prints. The present photographs are indeed beautifully lit and composed and still in very good condition despite their age. They are wonderful examples of Jean Pascal Sebah's craftmanship.The photographs are slightly creased and discoloured around the edges but otherwise in very good condition. unknown
1816237725London: Gale and Fenner 1816. First printing thus. Bound by James Ashton in three-quarter navy crushed morocco over marbled boards spine gilt ruled light blue morocco spine label. Sparse foxing scattered throughout a few marginal pencil lines 2" chip to lower inside corner page 135/136 no loss to text still near fine. Overall a very tight and sturdy copy. Octavo. xxxii 383 1 ads. 9.25" x 6" PASCAL USED FOR BRITISH RELIGIOUS CRITIQUE<br /> <br /> Originally published in 1657 Pascal's Provincial Letters scathingly renounced the Jesuits as the order clashed with Jansenists and secular humanists. Eventually the Jesuits were disbanded in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV under political pressures.However as the spirit of revolution died during the Napoleonic aftermath of the French Revolution Western Europe restored its old political order and the papacy revisited Jesuit suppression. <br /> <br /> This 1816 edition was published in London just two years after Pope Pius VII released his papal bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum called the Late Bull for the Revival of the Order in Europe in this text reinstating the Jesuit order throughout Europe––the first edition of Provincial Letters to include the bull. In a religiously conservative period dominated by the Church of England the pope's change was not received well as it took the Jesuits over a decade to regain traction in England. Pascal's precise biting defense of the inseparability of morality and spirituality resonated with the practical British religious sensibility. Gale and Fenner unknown
