BIOGRAPHICAL: Major Sir William Ouseley 1767-1842 British Orientalist went to Paris to learn French in 1787 and then became interested in Persian literature which he undertook to learn in Leiden 1794. He was in the year 1800 knighted by "Charles Lord Cornwallis 1738-1805 who from 1786 to 1793 had been Governor-General of India had him knighted in recognition of his promotion of oriental studies." "Ouseley's life as gentleman-scholar is marked by his unsuccessful efforts to obtain government support for a journey to Iran and by his unfulfilled ambition to become a government envoy to a Near-Eastern court. It was the diplomatic career of his brother Gore that allowed William to make the personal acquaintance of the Qajar envoy Abu'l-asan n Ili 1776-1845; q.v. who visited England between 1809 and 1810 and to become his brother's secretary when between 1810 and 1815 Gore traveled as the British ambassador to the Qajar court in Tehran. Ouseley's memoir of Travels in Various Countries of the East is an important source of British-Persian politics during the Napoleonic Wars." -- Encyclopaedia Iranica.

Prima edizione italiana di questa importante studio dedicato all’India ed al commercio con essa, scritta dal noto storico, storiografo, teologo scozzese William Robertson (Borthwick, 19 settembre 1721 – Edinburgo, 11 giugno 1793). Rettore dell’Università di Edimburgo per quasi trent’anni, ha dato contributi notevoli alla storia dell’sud America, della Spagna e della Scozia stessa. Cappellano del Castello di Stiriling, fu anche cappllano del re in Scozia. Fedele presbiteriano e un whig, si offrì volontario per difendere la città contro i giacobiti guidati dal principe Carlo Edoardo Stuart nel 1745. Nel 1754 fu un membro originale della Select Society, indicata anche come la Edinburgh Select Society. Le sue opere “Storia della Scozia fra il 1542 e 1603” (1759) e “Storia d’America” (1777), sono considerati alcune delle opere storiche più importanti del settecento. Figura preminente dell’illuminismo scozzese, fu tra i fondatori della Royal Society di Edimburgo. Nel 1791, il celebre storico scozzese, William Robertson, pubblicò il suo ultimo lavoro, “An Historical Disquisition concerning the Knowledge which the Ancients had of India”, nel quale esplorò i collegamenti commerciali e culturali dell'India e dell'Occidente dai tempi antichi fino alla fine del il XV secolo. Questo studio è considerato fra i primi esempi del movimento "orientalista" britannico e dello studio dell'espansione del dominio britannico in India. Per certi versi il suo lavoro che pur rifletteva i presupposti e gli approcci della scuola orientalista britannica, probabilmente anche in risposta alle critiche mosse a Robertson secondo le quali la sua precedente Storia dell'America era stata troppo sprezzante nei confronti delle culture amerindi, andò oltre rispetto a molti orientalisti nella sua interpretazione positiva della cultura indiana e della loro opposizione a una politica imperiale interventista e repressiva. In effetti, il lavoro era in gran parte diretto a preservare l'antica e sofisticata civiltà indiana dall'imperialismo culturale occidentale. La visione favorevole di Robertson su ciò che percepiva come credenze monoteiste alla base dell'induismo “classico”, rivela molto sui suoi atteggiamenti religiosi come sacerdote e leader del partito “moderato” nella Chiesa di Scozia. La sua storia dell'India verrà sottovalutata in Gran Bretagna (nonostante le sue grandi vendite), in gran parte, non per il valore dell’opera in sé, indubitabile, ma per la situazione politico, religiosa e sociale del Regno Unito dell’epoca. Le sue tesi sull'induismo e la sua critica delle missioni cristiane, non potevano che esser in contrasto con la crescente ondata di risveglio evangelico che stava vivendo in quegli anni il suo paese natale. Tuttavia, la sua opera, grazie anche alle numerose traduzioni, venne lentamente recuperata e valorizzata, con il passare degli anni, arrivando ad avere un ruolo di primaria importanza nel promuovere l'interesse per l'India, nel continente europeo e rappresentò uno dei risultati più significativi del tardo illuminismo scozzese.

180618911806 Couverture rigide A Paris, Chez le Normant, Imprimeur Libraire, 1806. 9 volumes in-16 (14 x 9 cm), reliure pleine basane racinée de l'époque, dos lisse orné de motifs dorés, pièce de titre en maroquin rouge, pièce de tomaison en maroquin vert, roulette dorée sur les coupes, quelques coiffes supérieures arasées, coins émoussés, petit manque de cuir au tome 1, charnières frottées, charnières du tome 7 légèrement fendillées, quelques épidermures.

Concernant l'ensemble des volumes : intérieur légèrement jauni, quelques rousseurs et marques marginales. Si Antoine Galland fut le premier à révéler les Mille et Une Nuits à l’Europe en 1704, sa traduction était avant tout littéraire : il adaptait les contes au goût de la cour de Versailles, en gommant les passages trop crus ou les répétitions poétiques pour en faire un objet de divertissement galant. Jean-Jacques Caussin de Perceval, professeur de langue arabe au Collège de France, intervient un siècle plus tard avec une ambition différente. Il ne se contente pas de rééditer Galland ; il complète la série. À l'époque, on savait que la version de Galland était incomplète par rapport aux manuscrits originaux. Caussin de Perceval a donc puisé dans les manuscrits de la Bibliothèque impériale pour traduire des contes inédits et donner à l'oeuvre une envergure nouvelle, plus fidèle à la structure foisonnante du recueil oriental. Edition originale de la traduction revue par Caussin de Perceval. "Edition la meilleure et la plus complète", Brunet (2, 361). Bon exemplaire, en assez bon état, dans une reliure typique 1er empire.

Very Good English Original autograph letter signed by Vladimir Fedorovich Minorsky, sent to Turkish professor and historian Osman Turan, (1914-1978), was born in year when World War I started. He had some bad conditions in his childhood. Being in Ankara in years when DTCF established was a great chance for him. He was trained by Fuat Köprülü. His studies in the first period were about pre-Islamic Turkish history. But his studies after he became associate-professor were about Seljukians. There isn't a better studying in this field yet than his studies. (Source: Osman Turan's Life (1914/17 - 1978) and Historiography, Tufantoz). Letter has 12 lines in front, and 4 lines on verso, in English completely. It has a plan of a library, probably in the UK which shows Trinity and Sydney Colleges, etc. Letter says: "Dear Dr. Turan, Very good. We shall be waiting for your on Friday. If you are not engaged come andd have lunch with us at 12.45. If you cannot come at 2.30 and I shall show you the Library. Looking forward to meeting you. Yours sinccerely, V. Minorsky'. "When you come to No 9 push the door in front of you...". Repaired margins. Minorsky was a Russian Orientalist best known for his contributions to the study of Persian and Kurdish history, geography, literature, and culture. Minorsky was born in Korcheva, in the Konakovsky District of the Russian oblast of Tver, northwest of Moscow on the upper Volga River, a town now submerged beneath the Ivankovo Reservoir. There he was a gold medallist of the Fourth Grammar School. In 1896 he entered Moscow University to study law, graduating in 1900, then entered the Lazarev Institute of Oriental Languages where he spent 3 years preparing for a diplomatic career. He made his first trip to Iran in 1902, where he collected material on the Ahl-e Haqq. In 1903 he entered the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, serving 1904-1908 in Persia (now Iran), first in the Tabriz Consulate-General and then the Tehran Legation, and 1908-1912 in Saint Petersburg and Tashkent. In 1911, jointly the Four-Power (British, Russian, Turkish, and Persian) Commission, he carried out a mission in North-Western Persia to delimit the Turko-Persian border, and also published a monograph on the Ahl-i ?aqq religion for which he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Ethnography Section of the Imperial Society of Natural Sciences in Moscow. One of the most important Kurdish manuscripts he obtained during this period was The Forqan ol-Akhbar, by Hajj Nematollah, which he later wrote about in "Etudes sur les Ahl-I Haqq, I.", Revue de L'Histoire des Religions, tome XCVII, No. 1, Janvier 1928, pp. 90-105. His surveys in Iran also provided invaluable material for his 1915 work, Materialï dlya izucheniya vostoka (Materials for the Study of the East), published by the Imperial Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, St. Petersburg. From 1915-17 he served as Chargé d'affaires in the Russian Legation at Tehran. As the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 made problematic his return to Russia, in 1919 he moved to Paris where he worked at the Russian Embassy. There his expertise in Middle Eastern and Caucasian affairs was useful during the Versaille and Trianon peace settlements. In 1923 he began to lecture on Persian literature at the École nationale des langues orientales vivantes, where he subsequently taught Turkish and Islamic history. In 1930 he was named Oriental Secretary to the 1931 International Exhibition of Persian Art at Burlington House, London, and in 1932 was made a lecturer in Persian at London's School of Oriental Studies. In 1933 he became Reader in Persian Literature and History, University of London; Professor of Persian in 1937; and in 1944 retired. During World War II, SOAS had evacuated to Christ's College, University of Cambridge, and there the Minorskys retired apart from a year (1948-49) at Fuad University, Cairo. In 1934 Minorsky was one of the distinguished participants in the Ferdowsi Millenary Celebration in Tehran. Minorsky received n

Very Good English Modern full dark red leather bound with traditional embossing. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In German. [viii], 351 p. First German Edition. This copy from Zeki Velidi Togan's library. Ármin Vámbéry, also known as Arminius Vámbéry was a Hungarian Turkolog and traveller. Vámbéry was especially attracted by the literature and culture of the Ottoman Empire including Turkey. After spending about a year in Constantinople, he published a German-Turkish dictionary in 1858. Later, he also published various other linguistic works. He also learned some twenty other Turkish languages and dialects. Returning to Budapest in 1861, he received a stipend of a thousand florins from the academy, and in the autumn of the same year, disguised as a Sunni dervish, and under the name of Reshit Efendi, he set out from Constantinople. His route lay from Trebizond on the Black Sea to Tehran in Persia, where he joined a band of pilgrims returning from Mecca, spending several months with them traveling across Central Iran (Tabriz, Zanjan, and Kazvin). He then went to Shiraz, through Ispahan, and in June, 1863, he reached Khiva (Central Asia). Throughout this time, he succeeded in maintaining his disguise as "Reshit Efendi," so that upon his arrival at Khiva he managed to keep up appearances during interviews with the local khan. Together with his band of travelers, he then crossed Bokhara and arrived at Samarkand. Initially, he aroused the suspicions of the local ruler, who kept him in an audience for a full half-hour. Vámbéry managed to maintain his pretences, and left the audience laden with gifts. Upon leaving Samarkand, Vámbéry began making his way back to Constantinople, traveling by way of Herat. There he took leave of the band of dervishes and joined a caravan to Tehran, and from there, via Trebizond and Erzurum, to Constantinople, arriving there in March 1864. This was the first successful journey of its kind undertaken by a European; and since it was necessary to avoid suspicion, Vámbéry could not take even fragmentary notes, except by stealth. After a long and perilous journey he arrived back at Pest in May 1864. He went to London to arrange the English language publication of his book about the travels. "Travels in Central Asia" and its Hungarian counterpart "Közép-ázsiai utazás" were published in 1865. Thanks to his travels Vámbéry became an internationally renowned writer and celebrity. He became acquainted with members of British social elite. The Ambassador of Austria in London gave him a letter of recommendation to the Emperor, who received him in an audience and rewarded Vámbéry's international success by granting him professorship in the Royal University of Pest.
