2001053264Kurdistan - Erbil: Aras Press and Publishers 2001. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Paperback. Cr. 8vo. 20 x 14 cm. Text in Persian with facsimile of the original text in Syriac. 200 p. ills. and map. A Syriac church history of Adiabene written in the 6th century by Mêsîhâ-Zêkâ under the title Kêtaâ -êqlisyastîqî dâ-Mêsîhâ-Zêkâ chosen in conscious imitation of the Ekklêsiastikê historia by Eusebius of Caesarea. It takes the form of a liber pontificalis of the metropolis Arbela modern Erbîl northeast of Mosul. For the Parthian period Mêsîhâ-Zêkâ drew primarily on the only Syriac writer to have an exact knowledge of Parthian history Habel the Teacher whose reports reveal that Christianity had spread east of the Tigris in Adiabene before 100 earlier than had previously been believed Kawerau tr. pp. 19 22 25. The Chronicle ends during the term of the patriarch Mâr Âbâ of Seleucia-Ctesiphon 540-52. It was first edited in 1907-08 by Alphonse Mingana who must have based his edition not on the one manuscript now known Or. fol. 3126 Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz Berlin but on another that has since disappeared. This account in the Chronicle of Arbela is the most important ancient source on early opposition to the primacy of the Roman pope over the whole of Christianity. Some Roman Catholic theologians have maintained that the Chronicle is not genuine. Its authenticity is however confirmed both by the bilingual inscription at Bisapur and by the mention in the text of a solar eclipse that occurred on 10 July 218.

1781D8826Venice / Naples: Antonio Graziosi / Per Vincenzo Mazzola-Vocola 1788 / 1781. Hardcover. Very Good. Morandis rare treatise on operative midwifery with Rastrellis even rarer work on wisdom and morals. MORANDI Antonio fl. 18th century. Trattato Universale Teorico e Pratico dei Parti necessario alle mammane ai chirurghi ed ai medici. Venice: Antonio Graziosi 1788. 8vo 190 x 120mm. v-xxx 399 pages; lacks 2 blanks at beginning. Bound with: RASTRELLI Giovanni Ranieri. Documenti morali e civili da un padre diretti al suo figlio. Naples: Per Vincenzo Mazzola-Vocola 1781. xii 80 pages. Oval portrait of Rastrelli signed by Joseph Tronus. Woodcut chapter head- and tail-pieces throughout. Near contemporary Italian vellum edges speckled; contents clean only some slight foxing at front and back of volume. Few lines of contents written in Italian script on front free endpaper and signed G. Viparelli on title. <br/><br/>The rise of obstetrics in the early modern period had a mixed effect on midwifery. Some midwives clung to their traditional ways. Others embraced the new science and sought retraining. National policies also shaped the contours of midwifery practice. Overall the art of midwifery could no longer be considered a subdivision of medicine but must be regarded as a branch of surgery requiring a thorough knowledge of surgical principles. The title of this work does not indicate its comprehensiveness; it is more than an operative midwifery for it includes much that belongs to a general treatise on the subject. Rastrellis work and portrait cannot be found elsewhere suggesting it is commonly an addition to texts and the title translated is a moral and civil work directed by a father to his son. Rastrelli was a noted poet in the latter half of the 18th century. While both parts are exceedingly rare the first is only located at the Wellcome Library and the Biblioteca della Fondazione Biblioteca San Bernandino in Italy.

In Ottoman script Old Turkish with Arabic letters. 15 p. 2 unnumbered b/w plates. Extremely rare Ottoman Turkish edition of "Kitâb tufat al-zâ'ir fî târîkh al-Jazâ'ir wa-al-Amir 'Abd al-Qâdir" by Amir Abd al-Qadir's eldest son Mohammad Pasha originally in Arabic in 1903 in 2 volumes published for "the benefit of the national subscription of the Ottoman Fleet" including a brief biography of Abd al-Qadir was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion of Algiers in the early 19th century. This pamphlet including Amir Abd al-Qadir's biography written by his eldest son Mohammad Pasha has two b/w plates showing a photograph of al-Qadir and his medal that the municipality of Paris had struck in 1862 in memory of the banquet offered on behalf of the Parisian population to the Emir Abd-el-Kader. Abd al-Qadir al-Jazairi 1808-1883 known as the Emir Abdelkader Abdelkader ibn Muhieddine or Abdelkader El Hassani El Djazairi was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion of Algiers in the early 19th century. As an Islamic scholar and Sufi who unexpectedly found himself leading a military campaign he built up a collection of Algerian tribesmen that for many years successfully held out against one of the most advanced armies in Europe. His consistent regard for what would now be called "human rights" especially as regards his Christian opponents drew widespread admiration and a crucial intervention to save the Christian community of Damascus from a massacre in 1860 brought honors and awards from around the world. Within Algeria his efforts to unite the country against French invaders saw him hailed as the "modern Jugurtha" and his ability to combine religious and political authority has led to his being acclaimed as the "Saint among the Princes the Prince among the Saints". Amir Abd al-Qadir Emir Abdelkader or Abdelkader El Hassani El Djazairi 1808-1883 was a venerated Algerian Islamic scholar and a military leader who led a collective resistance against the mid-nineteenth century French colonial invasion of Algeria. He is remembered today as one of the nineteenth century's most inspiring leaders for his humane treatment of Christian opponents during Algeria's anti-colonial struggle and for leading an intervention to rescue the Christian community in Damascus from certain massacres in the midst of sectarian riots in 1860. Raised in his father's zawiya he excelled as a student memorizing the Qur'an by the age of 14 and studying the Islamic religious sciences as well as subjects such as philosophy medicine and mathematics. He was especially known as a gifted orator who outshone his peers in the recitation of poetry and in delivering religious talks. His father a notable spiritual leader affiliated with the Qadiriyya order recognized his son's precociousness and cast a leadership role upon him shortly after the invasion of Algeria by France in 1830. After his father citing his old age declined to lead a tribal campaign against the French in 1832 Abd al-Qadir found himself elected Emir or Commander of the Faithful to organize a resistance that within a year under his leadership would unite Algeria's western tribes. Emir Abd al-Qadir commenced a fifteen-year military struggle during which he often kept the French forces-which boasted one of the world's most advanced armies-at bay through skillful guerilla tactics strategic negotiation and treaties and visionary state-building. All the while he demonstrated chivalry and compassion toward his opponents and allies alike taking care for instance to respect the individual religious beliefs of his prisoners of war and also purposefully integrating Jews and Christians into his new state. At one point he released his French prisoners because he did not have the means to feed them adequately <br/> <br/> N. p., [later 1913] paperback
