L'opera fu pubblicata postuma, due anni dopo la morte, dall'orientalista Galland. Furono stampate quattro edizioni, l'ultima nel 1781-83.<BR>Atabey, 563: "Herbelot spent the last thirty years of his life working on his Bibliothèque orientale, a landmark in Arabic studies which was unfinished at his death and completed and published two years later by the orientalist Antoine Galland in 1697. He knew a range of languages, including Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Aramaic, Syriac, and Hebrew, and was familiar with their literature and history, of which this work forms an encyclopaedia."<BR>Brunet II, 664; Zischka 15; Graesse II, 376<BR><BR>First edition, folio, pp. [32], 1059, [1]; title page printed in red and black, woodcut ornaments and initials; full contemporary calf, gilt-decorated spine in 6 compartments, red morocco label in 1.

Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete monthly issue of the Geographical Journal, containing the above described narrative and other accounts as well. Seldom found in such good and original condition. Fantastic, detailed biographical narrative of Captain William Henry Irvine Shakespear, English civil servant and explorer who mapped uncharted areas of northern Arabia and made the first official British contact with Ibn Sa'ud, future king of Saudi Arabia. The report discusses his early life, character (he was a great linguist, mastering Urdu, Pushtu and Persian) his work for the British Foreign Office, vice consulship of India and transfer to Kuwait. From there, he made seven separate expeditions into the Arabian interior, during which he became a close friend of Ibn Sa'ud, then the Emir of The Nejd. In March, 1914, Shakespear began a 1,800 mile journey from Kuwait to Riyadh and from there to Aqaba, via the Nafud Desert, which he mapped and studied in great detail, the first European to do so. In November, 1914, the British government in India asked him to secure Ibn Sa'ud's support for the British-Indian Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, which had just taken Basra. Carruthers retraces these various routes, examining the latter's significant finds (including some inscribed stones discovered at the wells of Hinna and the rined site of Thaj) and devotes several pages to Shakespear's last journey of the title. In January, 1915, at the Battle of Jarrab, Shakespear's friend Ibn Sa'ud asked him to retreat to a place of safety before the fighting began. As an English Gentleman, he naturally declined to do so. He was struck by a bullet and killed. The victorious Rashidis cut off his head. His solar helmet was handed over to the Ottoman authorities and hung on one of the main gates of Medina as proof of the Al Sau'ds' collaboration with the British. It has been suggested by some authorities, notably St. John Philby, that the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire might have been very differently directed if Shakespear had survived, i.e. the British would have supported and armed Ibn Sa'ud rather than Sherif Hussein ibn Ali. Accompanied by wonderful photographs featuring the mobilization of Ibn Saud's camels, a portrait of Shakespear and of Shakespear riding out with the Emir, among others. Endlessly fascinating, impossible to put down - the stuff of pulp fiction spy novels.
