1747KAADGC8B9ZXBLund Uppsala Copenhagen Helsinki and Turku 1747. Mostly 4to. 40 volumes. A remarkable collection of Scandinavian academic theses or dissertations or in two cases editions that served to promote a scholars appointment as a professor on the Middle East and the Islamic world mostly printed in the second half of the 18th century. Most are very rare many known only from three or fewer copies. The praeses advisor played a greater role in the production of a thesis than they do today often choosing the topic and even writing much of the text so that the praeses and the respondent the student who defended the thesis to attain a degree prepared the publication together more-or-less as co-authors. The present collection includes the works of the principal Swedish orientalists of their time mainly teaching and publishing at the universities of Uppsala and Lund the great Matthias Norberg 1747-1826 serving as praeses for twenty-two of the theses. The topics covered include medicine in the Middle East dietetics history linguistics and literature education and the erudition of Middle Eastern rulers. Examples include dissertations on leprosy in Arabia the caliphate government the sacred bee of ancient Egypt the Nazarenes first-century followers of Jesus who also retained their devotion to the Torah several aspects of the Arabic language and dialects etc. Some of the dissertations are editions of translations of oriental writings. Examples are a Latin translation of a part of the Bakthiyar namah ten viziers here issued in two parts and an edition and translation of the Lebanese Maronite Germanus Conti's notes on viniculture and the wine press in the Orient. The theses are listed below with the names of both the praeses listed first and the respondent listed second.
