184034888London: Orlando Hodgson 1840. A new edition with a memoir of the translator a long preliminary discourse on Islam and its history and with various readings and illustrative notes from Savary’s version of the Koran. 8vo contemporary three-quarter calf over marbled paper covered boards the spine in compartments decorated with central ornamental devices raised bands hatched in blind tan morocco lettering label gilt marbled endleaves. xvi 143 1-472 pp. including index. A very good copy handsome and well preserved the binding tight and strong internally quite fresh and clean. A HANDSOME EXPANDED EDITION OF ISLAM’S HOLIEST BOOK. Sale's version published initially in 1734 is the best early translation of the Islamic holy book and the first English translation taken directly from the original Arabic. The only translation published previously to Sale's was "the despicable French version" of André Du Ryer issued in 1649 and Alexander Ross’s English version derived from Du Ryer's published in the same year. <br> Sale’s intent in translating the Q’uran was seemingly to educate English readers and perhaps those in power about Islam in an atmosphere of what he perceived to be ignorance and intolerance: “.it seems as if there was something more than what is vulgarly imagined in a religion which has made so surprising a progress.†He states “.as Mohammed gave his Arabs the best religion he could as well as the best laws preferable at least to those of the ancient pagan lawgivers I confess I cannot see why he deserves not equal respect though not with Moses or Jesus Christ whose laws came really from heaven yet with Minos or Numa notwithstanding the distinction of a learned writer who seems to think it a greater crime to make use of an imposture to set up a new religion founded on the acknowledgment of one true God and to destroy idolatry than to use the same means to gain reception to rules and regulations for the more orderly practice of heathenism already established.†He goes on to argue that “.if the religious and civil Institutions of foreign nations are worth our knowledge those of Mohammed the lawgiver of the Arabians and founder of an empire which in less than a century spread itself over a greater part of the world than the Romans were ever masters of must needs be so.â€<br> Sale’s translation and prefatory statements were a landmark step towards education and understanding about unfamiliar religious beliefs and cultures as opposed to fear and persecution of them. This edition has been expanded with notes based on French author Claude Etiénne Savary’s translation of the Q’uran. Orlando Hodgson hardcover

1958ST20505-03Piedmont California: The Nova Press 1958. 260 x 170 mm. 10 1/4 x 6 3/4". 17 1 pp. 1 leaf. <br/> Publisher's sage green paper boards cover with title printed in black. WITH A LEAF FROM THE 1865 BIELEFELD "DER KORAN." In fine condition.<br/> <br/> This charming and attractively printed leaf book served as the ultimate bibliophile's Christmas card. William P. Barlow Jr. 1934-2021 was a dedicated Bay Area book collector who for many years served as president of the Roxburghe Club of San Francisco. Along with collecting Barlow printed under the Nova Press imprint putting out a smattering of pamphlets and "cards" such as the present volume. This tongue-in-cheek production gently pokes fun at the norms of the bibliophilic world even as it celebrates them as evident in the limitation statement: "A moderate number of copies printed and distributed by the Nova Press Piedmont and its proprietor Wm. P. Barlow Jr. as a form of Season's Greetings to members of the Roxburghe Club of San Francisco and other friends. To the latter I apologize for a rather parochial parody and a somewhat un-Christmassy Christmas card; to the former I need apologize only for the way in which it has been done as they are used to getting all sorts of strange things at Christmas." The leaf included in this book is from the 1856 Bielefeld edition of Ludwig Ullmann's influential German translation of the Qur'an which was first published in 1840. The print run of this work must have been a good deal less than "moderate" as copies seem not to be readily available. The Nova Press unknown
