2006350325Germany: Hatje Cantz 2006. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/None. Hardcover 80 pages photos in color. Minor shelf-wear to boards else a clean tight copy. This book documents the two most recent works by the critically acclaimed British artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien both of which continue his investigation of issues of race and global politics. True North shot in the spectacular landscapes of Iceland and Northern Sweden is conceived around the expedition writings of the African-American explorer Matthew Henson one of the key members of Robert E. Peary's 1909 Arctic expedition and arguably the first person to reach the North Pole. True North's diametric counterpart Fantôme Afrique weaves cinematic and architectural references through the rich imagery of urban Ouagadougou Africa's cinematic center and the arid spaces of rural Burkina Faso. The film is punctuated by archival footage from early colonial expeditions and landmark moments in African history. Record # 350325 Hatje Cantz hardcover

Table of contents for the first volume. The first and second volumes consist of classic grammar rules in Arabic. De Sacy was a French nobleman linguist and orientalist. In 1781 he was appointed councilor in the cour des monnaies and was promoted in 1791 to be a commissary-general in the same department. Having successively studied Semitic languages he began to make a name as an orientalist and between 1787 and 1791 deciphered the Pahlavi inscriptions of the Sassanid kings. In 1792 he retired from public service and lived in close seclusion in a cottage near Paris till in 1795 he became the first and only professor of Arabic in the newly founded school of living Eastern languages École speciale des langues orientales vivantes. During this interval Sacy studied the religion of the Druze the subject of his last and unfinished work the Exposé de la religion des Druzes 2 vols. 1838. He published the following Arabic textbooks: Grammaire arabe 2 vols. 1st ed. 1810 Chrestomathie arabe 3 vols. 1806 Anthologie grammaticale 1829. In 1806 he added the duties of a Persian professor to his old chair and from this time onwards his life was one of increasing honor and success broken only by a brief period of retreat during the Hundred Days. He was perpetual secretary of the Academy of Inscriptions from 1832 onwards; in 1808 he had entered the corps législatif; he was created a baron of the French Empire by Napoleon in 1813; and in 1832 when quite an old man he became a peer of France and regularly spoke in the Chamber of Peers Chambre des Pairs. In 1815 he became rector of the University of Paris and after the Second Restoration he was active on the commission of public instruction. With Abel Rémusat he was joint founder of the Société asiatique and was inspector of oriental typefaces at the Imprimerie nationale. In 1821 he was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society. Edward Said and other modern scholars have given critical attention to the theoretical foundations of "orientalism" in works like 'Chrestomathie' and 'Grammaire arabe'. Wikipedia.
