18915749Philadelphia: P. Blakiston Son & Co 1891. Octavo Viii 9-100 pages. Charts and one illustration. First American edition and first of this English translation. Originally published Vienna 1886 as Ueber die Wirkung des karlsbader Thermalwassers. Carlsbad Sprudel Salt was the evaporated form of water from the Karlovy Vary or Karlsbad Spa where "taking the waters" had been a cure for centuries and to which the European elite flocked for cures and rest. This work is a translation and expansion of "The increasing interest manifested in this country in natural mineral waters and in products derived therefrom coupled with the almost total lack of really scientific research in this branch of medicine have been the incentives that have led to the translation of this work from the German of the renowned balneologist Dr. Walery Jaworski a professor of medicine at Poland's Jagiellonian University Medical College. "As the Carlsbad Thermal Waters have for over 200 years held such a prominent place in the treatment of disease in Europe and as American physicians are becoming more and more impressed with the importance of making themselves familiar with the therapeutic values of these as well as other mineral springs a systematic and scientific treatise together with carefully tabulated experiments must of necessity prove acceptable" from the preface by translator Albert Toboldt. The illustration depicted in the text and duplicated on the front board is of a patient being administered the powdered sulfur waters. In publisher's pebbled green buckram with a blind-stamped and gilt-decorated front panel. Previous owner's name "Thomas G. Allen" to preliminary blank. Very near fine. OCLC locates twenty copies. P.

1880055960Cairo: Jurnal Kevakib al-Misrî / Matbaat al-Kastiliyah. AH 1297 Jumada I = 30 April 1880 CE. 1880. 3rd Edition . Leather. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Contemporary burgundy quarter calf. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 16 cm. In Arabic. 144 p. Occasionally browned and foxed on pages and edges fading on the boards. Marginal manuscript notes in Arabic on the first four pages. On the colophon page the phrase "Yâ Kabîkaj" is handwritten. In Islamic culture this name refers both to a jinn believed to be the protector of books and paper and to the bookworm itself. Traditionally writing this invocation inside a book was believed to protect it from worms and other pests. Overall a very good copy. Scarce second Castel edition third in the literature of this book attributed to Hasan al-Bakrî featuring popular historical and legendary tales of a highly romanticized and mythologized account of the Islamic expansion into Yemen. The work recounts early Muslim warriors' Islamic conquests and heroic exploits often blending historical events with folklore and imaginative embellishments. This edition is also known for referencing Ra's al-Ghul the Head of the Ghoul possibly including encounters with fantastical creatures such as this Ghoul in Arabic folklore and mythology. The first edition was published in 1865 by Castel Printing House and the second edition was published in al-Mabna Yemen in AH 1295 = 1877 CE. Al-Bakrî is the purported author of several Islamic works in Arabic most notably a biography of Muhammad entitled Kitâb al-anwâr 'Book of Lights'. There is no consensus regarding his historicity whether he lived or his floruit when he lived. Little is known of Hasan al-Bakrî which may explain his absence from early dictionaries. He may have been from or active in Bara since he is sometimes called the "Baran preacher". Ibn Taymiyya calls him an Ash'arî. Wikipedia. As of May 2025 OCLC does not list this edition. For the 1865 edition see OCLC 1391728943; for the 1881 edition see OCLC 27481810. <br/> <br/> Jurnal Kevakib al-Misrî / Matbaat al-Kastiliyah., AH 1297 Jumada I [= 30 April 1880 CE]. hardcover
