AL-SUYUTI, Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr.

De proprietatibus, ac virtutibus medicis animalium, plantarum, ac gemmarum, tractatus triplex.Paris, Sébastien et Gabriel Cramoisy, 1647. 8vo. With 2 woodcut headpieces, a woodcut tailpiece and woodcut decorate initials, plus decorations built up from arabesque typographic ornaments. Set in roman and italic type with a few words in Greek, Hebrew, Arabic and Syriac. Contemporary vellum with manuscript spine label (faded).

[24], 179, [17] pp.First Latin translation of a three-part pharmacological treatise on the nature and effect of medicines gained from animals, vegetables, and minerals (including some quite superstitious material), published under the name of the mediaeval Egyptian polymath Abd al-Rahman Al-Suyuti, whose “versatility stands out as unique in the history of Arabic literature” (Brockelmann, GAL II, p. 144), but probably assembled from various Arabic sources. The first part, covering animals, is likely Al-Suyuti’s own "Diwan al-Hayawan", translated by Abraham Ecchellensis after a manuscript in Cardinal Mazarin’s library; the authors and manuscript sources of the following two parts remain unidentified. The notes at the end include a few words set in Greek, Hebrew, naskh Arabic and serto Syriac type. Sébastien Cramoisy had been appointed director of the Imprimerie Royale in 1640 and was assisted there by his younger brother Gabriel. Although the present book nowhere uses the words “Imprimerie Royale”, it calls Cramoisy “Regis & Reginae Regentis Architypographum” and notes its royal privilege. The Arabic and Syriac type are probably those of Savary de Brèves, which he brought to Paris in 1614. In 1641, Cramoisy had bought matrices for roman and italic types cut by Jean Jannon in Sédan, later mistakenly attributed to Claude Garamont, but he appears never to have used the romans and here not even the italics. The book it therefore set mostly in types by Claude Garamont and Robert Granjon.18th-century French note on lower flyleaf; handwritten duplicate note and stamp on the title-page. Some browning; insignificant paper flaws in pp. 103-106, merely affecting the pagination; small edge tear in p. 151; chip in the foot margin of the second to last leaf (in the index, not touching the text).l Krivatsy 11586.

Seven

London, Saqi Books, (1999). orig.boards. 23x15cm, 241 pp, Translated from the Arabic by Basil Hatim & Gavin Watterson.. Minor rubbing. VG.
¶ Gulnar, a mythical embodiment of womanhood, relates the tale of the seven men from Araby, ostensibly the "creme de la creme" of the nation, the pillars of rectitude and the symbols of power and influence. They all coveted her body and only sheer lust after her made them agree to make it to her Greek island. But Gulnar was of no easy virtue and would give herself only to the one proving to be the most enthralling. A contest was staged and each of the seven men had to relate his own story: the events of the most exciting week of his life. The poet had to be first...On the last night the difficult choice had to be made...or was she interrupted by a gentle voice requeting her to close that notebook and tell him about the stories of her seven men? There were no tigers on that Greek island: a poet who plagiarized, a philosopher incapable of independent thought, a journalist who made a living out of sleaze and blackmail, a psychiatrist who lived off the misery of those less fortunate, a confidence-trickster dreaming of young boys and a businessman who made his living selling rotten meat. The island cries out loud: 'I sentence these seven men to death,' a cry to which Gulnar's grandfather adds: 'charged with demeaning women...with corruption...' "Seven" is a daring novel in both form and content. The ironic version of the Shererazade archetype is a daring challenge to an entire poetics and more vocally to the ethical decay of an entire nation. The narrative vehicle of the memoire-within-memoire is used to fascinating effect...." - Publisher's description.

'ALWACHI ('Abd al-Hamid).

Al-Shaykh Dari qatil al-Kulunl Lichman fi Khan al-Nuqtah. [English title:] Sheik Dhari, assassin of Lieut-Col. G.E. Leachman at Khan el-Nuqta.Baghdad, Maktab al-’Alwaji wa-alHajjiyah, 1968. 8vo. With the English title on the back wrapper and the recto of the final leaf, main text set in Arabic type throughout. With 16 black and white photographic illustrations (on 5 leaves). Original lime green printed wrappers.

158, [2] pp.First edition. A fascinating defence of Sheikh Dari, who killed the British intelligence officer Gerard Leachman on 12 August 1920. It includes brief but detailed biographies of both men (that of Leachman includes his travels to Arabia and Iraq), an exposition of the acts leading up to the event and an account of the day itself. Though the book links Sheikh Dari’s act to the Iraqi revolt of 1920, records of his trial indicate that the killing was not politically motivated in the wider sense, but was instead committed in response to abuse suffered at Leachman’s hands (see: Abbas Kadhim, Reclaiming Iraq, 2012, p. 80). Leachman’s legacy, like those of so many British officials operating in the Middle East at the time, is complicated: earlier accounts tended to paint a picture of "a courageous and devoted servant of empire" (ODNB), whereas recent assessments rightly factor in the evidence of his abuses. Rare.Minor wear to head and tail of spine, wrappers a little dusty and thumbed, otherwise very good.l Copac/Jisc (2 copies); WorldCat 164692240, 1179211757 (3 copies).
