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

Reliure de l'ÂŽpoque de plein veau marbrÂŽ brun plats jansÂŽnistes dos ˆ nerfs ornÂŽ de filets gras ˆ froid doubles caissons d'encadrement dorÂŽs larges fleurons dorÂŽs semis de pointillÂŽs et de points dorÂŽs titre dorÂŽ palette dorÂŽe en tÂte et queue dentelle dorÂŽe sur les coupes toutes tranches mouchetÂŽes. L'exemplaire s'ouvre sur une dÂŽlicate page de titre ˆ dÂŽcor allÂŽgorique gravÂŽe. Seconde ÂŽdition de l'estimÂŽe traduction de Michel de Marolles. Texte en latin en regard. On peut dire avec certitude que Perse ignora la vie et les hommes. Mais il savait cependant entendre ses ma”tres et ses amis tels que Cornutus ou SÂŽnÂque. Il avait vingt ans quand NÂŽron fut empereur et n'ignora que peu de choses des turpitudes de la Cour. Aussi son oeuvre contient-elle une part de rÂŽelle satire mais par ÂŽcho et sans l'accent que l'expÂŽrience donne ˆ l'indignation. Toutes sortes d'allusions d'ironies de demi-mots font entrevoir seulement entrevoir et presque deviner une cour impÂŽriale qui est celle de Tacite : bassesses et indignitÂŽs orgies et sacrilÂges crimes d'Agrippine et de NÂŽron. Au delˆ de la Cour la ville : manie du bel esprit profusion des prÂŽtentions littÂŽraires superstitions et dÂŽvotions intÂŽressÂŽes cupiditÂŽ cruautÂŽ ˆ l'ÂŽgard des esclaves. Mais il est ÂŽvident que la satire morale domine cette oeuvre. Un beau sto•cisme inspire son auteur un sto•cisme reÂu par enseignement mais que le poÂte vivifie par sa noblesse d'‰me. Les Satires sont pour ainsi dire des sermons sto•ciens. Perse y cÂŽlÂbre vertu et simplicitÂŽ antiques chaste culte de la philosophie nÂŽcessitÂŽ pour chacun de s'examiner en conscience et de conna”tre ses faiblesses au lieu de juger autrui et de se fier aux compliments conquÂte de la vÂŽritable libertÂŽ sur les passions sur la cupiditÂŽ et le gožt du plaisir sur l'ambition et la voluptÂŽ. Chacune de ces satires a de l'ardeur et se prÂŽcipitent en dialogues vifs voires mÂme dramatiques. En somme elles ont la force du sentiment singuliÂrement ÂŽlevÂŽ qui ne cesse de les animer. DÂŽtestant Rome ou plut™t ce qu'elle est devenue JuvÂŽnal fait de ses contemporains une peinture acerbe et sans pitiÂŽ. faisant sans cesse fi du politiquement correct Le tableau parodie d'une Ãuvre perdue qu'il propose de la cour de Domitien le ÇNÂŽron chauveÈ s'il est riche de notations grotesques rend trÂs bien l'atmosphÂre cauchemardesque d'une ÂŽpoque qui exsudait la terreur. On ne saurait parler sans anachronisme de libertÂŽ d'expression quand il s'agit de la Rome impÂŽriale et JuvÂŽnal se garde bien de s'en prendre aux empereurs rÂŽgnants. Ce qui n'empÂcha pas ses contemporains de lire dans ses propos des allusions ˆ l'actualitÂŽ de son temps. La langue de JuvÂŽnal permet de se faire une idÂŽe de la variÂŽtÂŽ des parlers latins selon les classes sociales et les rÂŽgions. Elle est ˆ la fois vigoureuse voire crue et savante. JuvÂŽnal aime jouer du contraste entre les mÃurs des anciens Romains frugaux et barbus et celles de ses contemporains perdus de luxe et effÂŽminÂŽs. Avec Horace JuvÂŽnal constituere un modÂle au xviiesiÂcle pour les Satires de Nicolas Boileau 1666.
