In a very good condition. ~ FIRST EDITION. Complete as called-for, including the practically always missing additional plate in volume II. Joseph-Arthur, Comte de Gobineau (1816-1882). Diplomat, orientalist, a novelist of distinction. While he is perhaps most known for arguing that racial composition determines the fate of civilization, being called the "intellectual father" of Nietzsche, Gobineau's most concrete scholarly effort was in the field of cuneiform studies. In those years in which Hincks, Rawlinson, and Oppert were gradually realizing that the Akkadian language could not account for all ancient cuneiform texts and for the inner structure of cuneiform writing, Gobineau attacked the three of them in his essay Lecture des textes cuneiformes, which he later expanded in the two volumes of "Traité des écritures cuneiformes". Gobineau argued that cuneiform texts were sacred writings, written in a cryptic form for "talismanic" purposes, and that if one reads them with the system of transposition of letters employed by the Hebrew Cabbalists, they proved to be written in Arabic. He produced a marvel of combinatory devices by which the texts not only proved to be alliterative poetry conforming to strict rules of prosody, but also could be read backwards and forwards, so that what was a blessing read as a curse in the opposite direction.
