1945191029Baghdad: Iraqi Army Press c.1945. for the benefit of the Arabic language First edition with over 12000 words printed under the auspices of the Lexicon Committee of the Iraqi Ministry of Defence. The first and second world wars were catalysers for the sharp increase in the production of new Arabic glossaries and dictionaries for officers and soldiers stationed in the Middle East. In the early 1940s special attention was paid to technical dictionaries issued by governments and ministries rather than colloquial phrasebooks produced for individuals aiming at translation consistency and standardization. The dictionary was printed "to collect collate and preserve.the words employed by the late Prof. Abdul-Masih Wazir in his numerous translations of English military publications". Wazir was director of the translation department of the Iraqi Ministry of Defence in 1923-43. It also provided "an easy means of reference for the use of the translators of English military writings". The loose-leaf format was designed to facilitate revision. Octavo 160 x 105 mm. Text in Arabic and English. Issued as 21 pamphlets numbered 1-18 and 18A-20 roughly one per alphabet letter. Original brown cloth yellow stamped paper boards bootlace stitching. Extremities a little rubbed small paper loss on lower outer corner of rear cover contents toned but clean: a very good copy. R. Mairs Arabic Dialogues 2025. hardcover
1917178262Basrah: The Basrah Times 1917. Empire and Pan-Arabism Two leaves from the first and only issue of the Basrah Times 20 March 1917 printing Sir Frederick Stanley Maude's appeal to the people of Baghdad province issued nine days after the British capture of the city. The proclamation marks a turning point in the First World War exemplifies imperial rhetoric and foreshadows the tensions between colonial authority and national aspiration that shaped the following decade in Iraq. Although Basrah fell in November 1914 Baghdad was secured only after a further two and a half years of campaigning. Maude drove the advance restoring supply lines and winning successive engagements at Hayy Dahra and Kut before the final assault. The proclamation presents the British not as conquerors but as liberators promising renewal after centuries of foreign rule and invoking the recent success of the Arab Revolt under Sharif Hussein as a model of independence and unity. Yet this balance between nationalist promise and imperial control proved unstable: the post-war Mandate endured only until the revolt of 1920 forced political transition culminating in Faisal's election as king in 1921. Two sheets each approximately 440 x 285 mm laid down on thick card framed and glazed. Text in English and Arabic. Sheets toned and with creases from old folds minor foxing a few short tears one small hole to centre of one sheet affecting one letter: a very good set. unknown

Book: Black cloth title in green illustration of measuring utensils on pastedowns. Pictorial dust jacket. Binding a bit rubbed spine faded with small loss at head Very good minus. Six pages in ink on three leaves. 1 vols. 8vo. Letter from Baghdad 1946. Fascinating letter from editor May H. Beattie 1908-1997 editor of Recipes from Baghad published for the benefit of the Red Cross and later a widely published author on Persian and oriental carpets. Beattie describes its contemporary reception in cosmopolitan Baghdadi circles noting specific criticisms of contents and illustrations how the barbs affected some of the editors with report of discussions with an editor in the U.K and mention of a possible Arabic edition for local "middle class people". Beattie writes "At the moment rather between ourselves I have a most consuming passion to make a record of Baghdad women - I am finding out all sorts of things about their cosmetics tatooing hair dying & customs in general. I should think it will be almost impossible to extract any information from Baghdad "Society" but I am finding other sources in plenty and a card index is filling rapidly."<br/>Beattie who trained as a microbiologist had come to Baghdad with her husband in 1937; in 1946 they returned to England and so the book on Baghdad women was never completed. Beattie's career as a scholar of carpets began in the 1950s when she saw the shortcomings of earlier research. "Dr. Beattie transferred her scholarly training in one discipline to another" Mackie and assembled facts and "recorded manufacturing methods equipment patterns and functions of carpets."<br/><br/>With: Recipes from Baghdad with an Introduction by Her Majesty the Queen Mother of Iraq.

1951182329London: Ordnance Survey 1951. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1941-42 and with isogonals correct to 1953. They show the international borders between Iran and Iraq but warn that they are still under negotiation. These maps are in a variety of later editions all printed in 1951 Baghdad fifth; Basra eighth; Tehran third; Bushehr fourth. This was a critical year in Iranian politics as the country underwent the Abadan Crisis saw the assassination of Razmara and the election of Mosaddeq. In the same period Iraq saw a number of anti-government protests including the 1952 Iraqi Intifada against the Anglo-Iraqi Treaty. Over these years British and American forces kept close watch on the region's development and likely printed these maps printed on rayon as escape items to issue to forces in case fighting broke out. Escape maps were first introduced by MI9 during the Second World War designed to be easily smuggled into POW camps. They were printed on silk and for "good reasons: silk is flexible and durable in a way that paper is not and it is noiseless when hidden about one's person" Bond. They continued to be issued throughout the 20th century and into the modern day especially during the 1960s and the Vietnam War. 2 sheets of rayon 596 x 715 mm; 610 x 676 mm colour map on each side key on map of Tehran; text in English and French. Sometime folded edges fraying more so to sheet of Baghdad and Basra: a very good copy. Barbara A. Bond "Escape and evasion maps of World War II" The British Library 2016. unknown
