19 pages, plus a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 14.5 inches x 8.5 inches (37cm x 21,5cm). 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. A captivating expedition report detailing Lieutenant H. B. Vaughan's early travels in uncharted regions of eastern Persia, and a caravan journey through the Great Salt Desert, Dasht-i-Kavir, accompanied by a bright colour route map for illustration. Vaughan determined the true position of several places only roughly placed on previous maps, and discovered numerous additional towns, villages, or halting stations unknown to European geographers. Here he describes mining towns and desolate villages, conflict between Arabs and Persians, an encampment of 100 tents for an estimated 300 nomadic Persians, and other peculiarities of this foreign land, inlcuding customs of the Bhaloos and the Iliyats. Colonel Vaughan undertook two adventurous journeys of exploration and espionage in Persia for which he was awarded the MacGregor Medal in 1892, in those days very much the medal of the "Great Game" of rivalry between Britain and Russia in Central Asia.

Milano, 1916, estratto con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 988/996 con ill. (Contro la dominazione turco-tedesca) - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !!

Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Un volume di 273-(3) pagine. Mezza tela editoriale. Buonissime condizioni per questa rara grammatica araba per italiani residenti in Egitto.
8vo. 29 pages. Text is in German. This is a complete monthly issue, containing the above mentioned account. Attractively bound booklet style in recent blue paper covers with label. This issue contains a fascinating compendium on Persia, written during the Russo-Persian War and the brief Franco-Persian alliance. The author draws from and quotes passages of Guillaume-Antoine Olivier's now extremely scarce title, the final volume of which had finally been published the same year in 1807, "Le Voyage dans l'Empire Othoman, l'Égypte et la Perse" [A Journey in the Ottoman Empire, Egypt and Persia]. An early nineteenth century account covering geography, natural history, commodities such as gold and silver, and social customs from various different ethnic groups. In this text Persians are ascribed attributes such as civilized, rich, polite, and hospitable, at the same time struggling with long-standing inter-racial conflicts between Arabs, Uzbeks, Kurds, Afghans, and Turkmen (Turkoman), the latter of which are described as warlike. Further topics of interest include practices of astrology, medicine, opium usages, and nomadic gypsies. A scarce dissertation and unique item to pair with the collector's volume. Guillaume-Antoine Olivier (1756-1814) was one of the great French naturalists and entomologists, who in 1796, together with physician and zoologist Jean-Guillaume Bruguières, travelled to Persia for six years on a major expedition, and returned to France in 1798 with substantial natural history specimens from Turkey, Asia Minor, Persia (Iran), Egypt, and some Mediterranean islands. His large collection is now mostly at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. These are the original pages printed in 1807, and NOT a reprint. This narrative is from a rare multi-volume geographical and scientific journal titled "Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden", which issued fifty volumes from 1798-1816 and which encompassed critical contemporary topics of geography and astronomy. Adam Christian Gaspari and Franz Xaver von Zach were editors of this important scientific journal.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Prince Sixte of Bourbon's knowledgeable analysis of potential trans-Sahara communications and the most feasible route into and across the Sahara: through North Africa - the Sudan route and what the prince describes as the natural basis for conquest of the south; in the west, the Mauretanian route which avails itself of the Saura valley and the old caravan route running along the Hank and, the route he favoured most, that of the Congo - the trans-African option he considered would serve the international interests of central Africa.
