18 pages, including several sketch maps. Plus a full-page colour map and many photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Dr. Alfons Gabriel (1894 – 1976) was a Viennese doctor of medicine as well as an acclaimed geographer and travel writer who, accompanied by his wife Agnes, explored the deserts of Iran, in three expeditions in the years 1927 to 1928, 1933 and 1937. He also spent a great deal of time in the Dutch East Indies. Among his highly acclaimed books include "Durch Persiens Wüsten" [Through Deserts of Persia], published in 1935, which was translated to Persian. Dr. Gabriel's first expedition in the years 1927-28 was commenced from the Persian Gulf, travelling into the mountainous country of Bashagird in southern Iran, where he entered Anguran, and via the Jaz Murian swamp penetrated into the Lut, crossed the desert by new paths, and investigated the great northern Iranian salt-swamps. Four years later in 1933 he undertook his second journey, spending several months in the salt-swamps of northern Iran, exploring the sand desert of the Rig-i-Jinn, the Desert of Ghosts, then crossed the middle part of the Lut, and continued to the south into the Sarhad of Iranian Baluchistan. Accompanied by a colour route map and many spectacular photographic images, this important first-hand report delineates Dr. Gabriel's third and last journey in 1937, during which he explored the unknown territory of southern Lut, the great desert of Iran and Iranian Baluchistan, which resulted in filling several blanks on map. He provides vivid description of his journey and includes fascinating remarks on sandstorms, the inhabitants of Hudiyan, date plantations, remains of old stone buildings belonging to Kafar race, remains of old settlements at Surk, fortress of Hajji Agha Khan at Khash, and much more.
Good Arabic Paperback. 4to. (29 x 21 cm). In Arabic. 200 p. Ex-library stamps. Splits on the spine. Otherwise a good copy. Shantarînî was an Arab poet and historian from al-Andalus. He was born in Santarém (sometimes spelled Shantarin or Xantarin) and hailed from the Banu Taghlib tribe. Ibn Bassam describes how the incessant invasions of the Castilians forced him to run away from Santarém in Portugal, "the last of the cities of the west," after seeing his lands ravaged and his wealth destroyed, a ruined man with no possessions save his battered sword. Especially well known is his anthology Dhakhira fi mahasin Ahl al-Jazira. one of the most important sources of information in the field of history, literature, and culture of the Almoravid dynasty. It was edited in eight volumes by Ihsan Abbas, written in rhymed prose, many of its biographies are contemporary and filled out with details taken from the Kitab al-Matin of Ibn Hayyan. The parts taken from that book are easily distinguishable because Ibn Bassam prefixes the words qala Ibn Hayyan ("Ibn Hayyan says") and concludes the extract with intaha kalam Ibn Hayyan ("here ends ibn Hayyan's words"). The set is 8 volumes, this is only one volume (2.1).

Rare issue of Al-Musawar, an Egyptian magazine, featuring content of assorted local interest from 90 years ago, including the latest news in aviation - Misr Airwork having only just been founded 17 days earlier, athletes in the 1st Maccabiah Games, entertainment, politics, military, education, artisanry and more. Text is in Arabic. Folio. 23 pages, opening from the left side, replete with photographic illustration throughout, plus fully illustrated front cover. Volume measures approximately 28,5 x 42 cm. Some wear to edges and spine, folded at center, otherwise in very good, original condition. The front cover is dominated by a dashing young aviator donning his leather flight helmet and goggles, surely a notable Egyptian pilot chosen by the newly formed Misr Airlines. Misr Airlines, a division of Misr Airwork (1932-1949), now known as Egypt Air, was founded on 7 June 1932 "to promote the spirit of aviation among Egyptian youth", thus becoming the seventh carrier in the world. The headquarters of Misr Airwork, S.A.E. was in Almaza Aerodrome, Heliopolis, Cairo. The initial investment was EG£20,000, with ownership split between the Misr Bank (85%), Airwork (10%), and Egyptian private investors (5%). Operations started in July 1933, initially linking Cairo with Alexandria and Mersa Matruh using de Havilland DH.84 Dragon equipment. Misr Airlines is the oldest airline servicing both Africa and the Arab world. Although several other airlines sprang up in Africa during the 1930s, no other airlines were developed in the Arab world until the mid-1940s. An article of aviation interest found within, remembers the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin flying overhead on its 1931 Middle East Flight, with aerial images its own large shadow and the scene below. A memorial to Étienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904), French scientist, physiologist and chronophotographer, whose scientific works touched many fields, including physical instrumentation and aviation, also appears at the center of the issue. There are two full pages concerning athletes, being the elite who had participated in the 1932 Maccabiah Games. There were 390 athletes from 27 countries who participated in the first Maccabiah, including over 69 Jewish athletes from Arab countries such as Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. There were several Muslim boxers from Egypt. Al-Musawar is an Egyptian weekly magazine with its headquarters is in Cairo. Launched in 1925, its founder was George Bey Zidan. One of its longest-serving editors was journalist Fekry Abaza who held the post from 1926 to 1961. In 1960 the Egyptian government took ownership and control of the publication. Abaza was suddenly fired due to an article published on 17 August 1961.
