'Alî 'Imâdu d-Dîn Nasîmî, (1369-1417), was a 14th-century Azeri or Iraqi-Turkmen, Hurûfi poet. Known mostly by his pen name (or takhallus) of Nesîmî, he composed one divan in Azerbaijani, one in Persian, and a number of poems in Arabic. He is considered one of the greatest Turkic mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries and one of the most prominent early divan masters in Turkic / Turkish literary history (the language used in this divan is close to Azerbaijani). Hurufism (Arabic: Hurufiyyah) was a Sufi doctrine based on the mysticism of letters (?urûf), which originated in Astrabad and spread to areas of western Persia and Anatolia in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Extremely rare.

New Arabic Original bdg. HC. 4to. (29 x 22 cm). Text in English and Persian; facsimile in Arabic. [xiii], [36], 612 p. Mujlî mir'ât al-munjî fî l-kalâm wa-l-hikmatayn wa-l-tasawwuf. Lithograph edition by Ahmad al-Shîrâzî. Reprinted with an introduction, table of contents, and indices by Sabine Schmidtke (Silsilah-'i Mutun va Mutala'ât-i Falsafi va Kalami 10). Al-Ahsai, known as Ibn Abi Jumhur, was the first among the Twelver Shi'is to attempt to forge a synthesis of the various intellectual strands of his time. While he started off as a theologian deeply influenced by Mutazili thought, as can be seen from his early qalam works, he set out in his late work 'Mujli...' to amalgamate Mutazilite and Asharite qalam, Peripatetic and Illuminationist philosophy, as well as philosophical mysticism in an unprecendented and unique manner. (From introduction). "His supercommentary on his Maslak al-afhâm fi?'ilm al-kalâm and on the commentary on al-Maslak entitled al-Nûr al-munjî min al-z?alâm.".
Pages Very slightly tanned. Else fine. ; The third volume, published in two parts, is an account of every aspect of Iranian civilisation from the death of Alexander in 323 BC to the advent of Islam in the seventh century AD. This complex period, of major importance in Iranian history and extending for almost a thousand years, encompasses the reigns of the Seleucid, the Parthian, the Kushan and Sasanian dynasties. As additions to the general objectives of these volumes, Professor Yarshater has included in this volume chapters on the institutional, administrative, legal, numismatic, linguistic and literary aspects of the period; and he further develops the scope of the volume by including studies of Iran's interaction with neighbouring societies, of Iran's mythical and legendary history, and of Iranian settlements outside the geographical boundaries of Iran and Afghanistan. This volume is the most comprehensive study published of this very important period of Iran's history. ; The Cambridge History of Iran; Vol. 3.2; 883 pages

Four striking illustrated colour plates by noted French painter draughtsman and printmaker Georges Braques especially reproduced for this book. No detectable flaws: extremities and contents without blemish with firm sound binding; fine and housed in original price-clipped dustjacket now housed in protective mylar cover. Lacking the original slipcase. Near fine. Translation of: L'ordre des oiseaux. Text in English and French. <br/><br/>"When Georges Braque was preparing a series of etchings of birds to be published on the occasion of his eightieth birthday it was learned that St.-John Perse had just completed a poem on the theme of birds. The poet agreed to permit the first publication in the limited edition L'Ordre des Oiseaux with twelve original etchings by Braque. The four reproduced in this book were inspired directly by the poem. Among his last works these etchings mark a change from the static forms in Braque's earlier plates to a more dynamic conception. Perse on his part added to his text several pages of aesthetic meditation referring mainly to the metamorphic vision of the painter and to Braque's birds in general. Braque who with Picasso created cubism and carried it to noble poetic heights embodied in the four plates he created for Perse a generalized sense of power flight grace and space. The poet moves in his text from a particular observation of the flight of birds to reflections on the significance of their movement through space and its impact on man's consciousness. He uses the birds of Braque by relating the process of changing form in flight to the changing form of an etching as the artist carries it through its several states. Robert Fitzgerald poet and Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory at Harvard University translated St.-John Perse's Chronique and three lyric plays by Paul Valery published in Bollingen Series."

Avesta grammar and reader: An Avesta grammar in comparison with Sanskrit.= Dastûr-i zabân va guzîdah-'i mutûn-e Avistâyî [REPRINT of 1892 EDITION]. Jackson was born in New York City on February 9, 1862. He graduated from Columbia University in 1883. He was a fellow in letters there from 1883 to 1886, and an instructor in Anglo-Saxon and the Iranian languages from 1887 to 1890. After study at the University of Halle from 1887 to 1889 he became an adjunct professor of English language and literature. In 1895, he was appointed public lecturer and also appointed to the newly founded professorship of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, where he remained until 1935. He was well known as a lecturer on English literature and the Orient. In 1901, during a visit to India and Ceylon, he received special attention from the Parsees, who presented to Columbia a valuable collection of Zoroastrian manuscripts in recognition of the instruction there given by him in their ancient texts. In 1903 he made a second journey to the Orient, this time visiting Iran. He also visited Central Asia sometime before 1918. Jackson's grammar of Avestan, the language used in the Zoroastrian scriptures, is still considered to be the seminal work on the topic. Jackson was one of the directors of the American Oriental Society.

41087saying "I have a big envy from my name that I cannot explain this strange feeling. Wish I could conceal myself in the heart of my sweetheart." 1 side 8vo. on monogrammed paper no place no date NASER-AL-DIN 1831-1896 Shah of Persia 4th Ruler of the Qajar Dynasty ascended the Peacock Throne in 1848 at the age of eighteen and ruled as Shah-in-Shah until he was assassinated. Following his succession of his father Mohammed Shah Naser-al-Din initially followed a policy of reform but became increasingly conservative. Although he curbed the power of the clergy in secular affairs introduced telegraph and postal services opened the first school offering education along Western lines opened the first railway and launched Persia's first newspaper later in his reign he steadfastly refused to deal with mounting pressure for more far-reaching reform. He was also the titular head of a considerable part of the Muslim world. The majority of his subjects were Shiite Muslims who looked to him as the legitimate successor and Vice-Regent of the Prophet. Demanding implicit obedience it was on account of his religious position that the Shah was able to exercise despotic power as a temporal ruler. His taxation was severe and arbitrary and he amassed a vast personal fortune and an enormous collection of historic diamonds. Nevertheless he still ran up a huge national debt partly as a result of his expensive foreign tours. He paid his first visit to Europe in 1873 and there are many anecdotes recounting his autocratic and 'Oriental' ways. It is said that he offered to purchase a certain court beauty whose charms he admired. There is the tale of his astonishment on finding a picture of an ass priced at five hundred times the value of the animal itself. On another occasion when he was travelling by rail he was shown the communication cord for stopping the train; he immediately made use of it since he wished the train to remain stationary while he took a nap it was only with the greatest difficulty that he was made to understand that this couldn't be allowed even for the 'King of Kings'.
