"This was a false chronicle halfway between a history and a novel of chivalry supposedly translated from an Arabic manuscript by a fictitious historian called Tarif Abentarique that Luna had found in El Escorial" García-Arenal & Mediano. In the account first published in 1592 the Iberian Peninsula is saved by the Arab newcomers from a state of evil and corruption under the Visigoth rulers. Luna's account is a defence of Arab culture in Spain independently of the religion of Islam and particularly defending the Arabic language. "His writings attempt to reimagine the origins and history of Christianity in the Peninsula such that its inhabitants of Arab origin may be seen as "natural" or "native" .; therefore they cannot be expelled as alien invaders . but rather and above all may aspire to honors and privileges" García-Arenal & Mediano.Miguel de Luna ca. 1550-1615 was a Spanish physician of Arabic descent who also published a treatise on bathing. Known for his knowledge of Arabic he worked as a translator for King Philip II of Spain and the Spanish Inquisition.With owner's inscriptions on the back of the first fly-leaf and the title-page.

READING FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED - A BRAILLE ALTERNATIVE The Gospel According to St. John Volume 1 title taken from spine label

55675Brighton: The Moon Society after 1920 before 1953. Oblong folio 28.5 × 34.5 cm. Contemporary half-cloth over marbled boards; 57 leaves of embossed text in Moon type. In lieu of a title page a leaf with transcribed raised alphabet is included: "A Simplified System of Embossed Reading for the Use of the Blind Invented by William Moon L.L.D &c.". Dedication sticker to inside front board: "Embossed by the Moon Society for the British and Foreign Bible Society". Boards lightly scuffed and soiled; corners bumped; some fraying to lower hinges; toned throughout due to stock; still about very good. Volume one of two of the Gospel According to St. John embossed in Moon type a form of raised type for the visually impaired based on the Latin alphabet developed in 1843-1845 by Dr. William Moon 1818-1894. The only non-Braille system that survives to this day Moon type is most popular among the elderly and readers who went blind later in life as was the case with Moon himself. Born in Kent Moon learned to read by sight first before losing his vision completely by the age of 21. With the loss of vision he also gave up his plans to join the clergy becoming instead a teacher for the blind and a philanthropist. As a teacher Moon focused on the development of the new raised type based on the simplified Latin characters which were easier to remember for those who knew letters by sight but were less spatially economical than the Braille system. The first Moon type book appeared in 1847. To promote the new system Moon founded and funded the Moon Society in Brighton Sussex publishing primarily devotional books during his lifetime. His ambitious project to release the entirety of the Bible in monthly instalments was completed in 1858 printed in 60 volumes. The present volume of the the Gospel According to St. John appears to be a later edition of the original instalment. "When Dr. Moon died in 1894 over 500 titles were printed in his type in over 419 languages and dialects" See: Gabriel Farell The Story of Blindness p. 103. Notably the geographic breadth of the use of the Moon type followed British colonial interests in India and China. <br /> <br /> In the United States the Moon system competed with and superseded the initially more popular embossed Boston Line Type. Developed in the 1830s and used extensively at the Perkins School for the Blind in Massachusetts Boston Line Type was similarly based on the Latin alphabet. Moon first promoted his system with a traveling tour he undertook in the US with his daughter Adelaide Moon in 1880s. His son the ophthalmologist Robert Moon emigrated to Philadelphia in the same period and continued to promote his father's system by publishing the Moon magazine starting in 1905 and helping to manage the Moon Society until his death 1914. The present volume was apparently published in Brighton at the Queens's Road address where the Moon Society was based 1915-1960 and where Moon lived with his family prior to his death with this volume most likely published in the 1920s based on the binding and paper.<br /> <br /> As of May 2026 KVK OCLC show one copy of St. John's Gospel published in Moon type at Cambridge University with no holdings in North America. unknown
