Very Good Arabic Early edition of this critical edition of Saad Zagloul's memoirs prepared by Mustafa al-Nahhas Jabr Pasha. Zaghloul was an Egyptian revolutionary and statesman, who was the leader of Egypt's nationalist Wafd Party. He served as Prime Minister of Egypt from 26 January 1924 to 24 November 1924. By working as a Europeanized lawyer, Zaghloul gained both wealth and status in a traditional framework of upward mobility. Despite this, Zaghloul success can equally be attributed to his familiarity with the Egyptian countryside and its many idioms. In 1918, he became politically active, as the founding leader of the Wafd Party, for which he was later arrested. Zaghloul became increasingly active in nationalist movements, and in 1919 he led an official Egyptian delegation (or wafd, the name of the political party he would later form) to the Paris Peace Conference demanding that the United Kingdom formally recognize the independence and unity of Egypt and Sudan (which had been united as one country under Muhammad Ali Pasha). The British in turn demanded that Zaghloul end his political agitation. When he refused, they exiled him to Malta, and later to Seychelles. In 1922, he was moved from Seychelles and was taken to Gibraltar due to ill health arriving there onboard HMS Curlew and he was released in 1923. Zaghloul's absence caused disturbances in Egypt, ultimately leading to the Egyptian Revolution of 1919. Upon his return from exile, Zaghloul led the Egyptian nationalist forces. Mu??afâ al-Nahhâs Pasha, (1879-1965), a statesman who, as the leader of the nationalist Wafd party, was a dominant figure in Egyptian politics until the revolution of 1952. A lawyer by profession, Na??âs was appointed a judge in the National Court at ?an?â in 1914. Soon after World War I he joined the recently formed Wafd; he was exiled with Sa'd Zaghlul in the early 1920s, and assumed the chairmanship upon Zaghlul's death in 1927. An imitation leather bdg., Arabic lettered gilt on front board. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12 cm). In Arabic. 280, [2] p., a portrait of Zaghloul, b/w ills. Offset lithography.

Importante nome di studioso dell’egittologia, Costanzo Gazzera dimostra di essere in continuo contatto con gli ambienti scientifici francesi attraverso questo saggio che richiama il nome di Champollion, il cui nome è indissolubilmente legato alla Stele di Rosetta.

In-4 °, (2), 64pp, 12 folded tables (the last one mentions Felice Festa). An important name as a scholar of Egyptology, Costanzo Gazzera proves to be in constant contact with French scientific society through this essay that recalls the name of Champollion, whose name is inextricably linked to the Rosetta Stone. Gazzera was also active as a liberal spirit, which saw in the Prince of Carignano, the future King Carlo Alberto, the custodian of the fate of Italy.

Dervy 1999. 2 volumes in-4 carré reliés plein cartonnage éditeur illustré sous étui illustré. 776 + 410 pages. 197 + 300 figures dans le texte. Présentation de l'éditeur : Cet ouvrage, écrit après une dizaine d'années de recherches au temple de Louxor, présente un cas indiscutable de la directive symbolique appliquée à l'architecture d'un des plus célèbres sanctuaires de l'Egypte pharaonique. Basé, sur des relevés d'une minutie jamais atteinte auparavant dans la pratique archéologique, le livre de R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz analyse les agrandissements successifs du temple de Louxor, en les mettant en rapport avec les différents âges de l'homme. Le temple entier apparaît alors comme l'image de l'homme Microcosme, c'est-à-dire comme la projection morphologique des principes cosmiques situés fonctionnellement dans les différents lieux du ciel. Écrit par un philosophe, l'ouvrage atteindra, par toutes les précisions qu'il apporte sur la sagesse de l'Orient Ancien, un public dépassant de beaucoup le seul cadre de l'égyptologie, qu'il oriente d'une façon entièrement nouvelle. Sa lecture s'imposera à tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux connaissances géodésiques, astronomiques et physiologiques de l'Antiquité. Parfait état
