Price clipped to D/J. It shows the Society at work in tropical Africa in a time of rapid development, when the churches it had formed in Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda and Nigeria were growing so fast that successul nurture of converts was hard to achieve; in the Middle East, where the tiny Anglican churches in Egyp, Norther Sudan, Palestine and iran were scarcely growing at all, and where missionaries such as Temple Gairdner were seeking new ways of expressing the love of Christ in the heartlands of Islam; and in the Church of England itself, where the Society had painfully to face dissensions about the nature of its evangelical heritage, and to discover a role within the ecumenical movement. 506 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.)

SHAW, Thomas. Enlarged and corrected best Dutch translation of an important work on north Africa and the Middle East Reizen en aanmerkingen, door en over Barbaryen en het Ooste. Uit het Engelsch vertaald door P. Boddaert, met aanteekeningen van den vertaler; S. Rau, M. Tydeman en C. Saxe. Utrecht, (Willem van Rees for) J. van Schoonhoven, (1771-)1773.
First and only edition of the Dutch translation by Pieter Boddaert of the considerably expanded second and best English edition of 1757 of a standard work on North Africa, first published by the Oxford University Press in 1738 as <I>Travels, or Observations relating to several parts of Barbary and the Levant </I>by Thomas Shaw (1692-1751). A French translation appeared in The Hague in 1743; a German translation in 1765 in Leipzig. Shaw was an English scholar, natural historian and traveller, who, after receiving holy orders, was appointed chaplain to the English factory in Algiers. He held this post for twelve years, then travelled for three years across North Africa, passing through Algeria, Tunis, Libya and Egypt, and continuing into Palestine and Syria. He returned to England in 1734, and in the same year took degree of D.D. and became a fellow of the Royal Society. He held the chair of regius professor of Greek at Oxford until his death in 1751. The work is also very important for the history of botany as Shaw describes in a supplement 600 plants which he had personally collected, 140 of which were previously unknown to botanists.By coincidence the first volume of another Dutch translation of the work was published in the same year 1771 in Amsterdam by the published Loveringh (second vol.: 1774). Our translation, however is much better. Not only had the Utrecht publisher J. van Schoonhoven engaged a very good translator in the person of Pieter Boddaert (1730-1796; <I>NNBW</I> VI, cols. 125-6), lector of Natural History at the Utrecht University, but he had also found willing to contribute to the work three great experts: the Utrecht professors Meinard Tydeman (1741-1825; <I>NNBW</I> II, cols. 1464-5), professor of Law, Sebald Rau (1724-1818; <I>NNBW</I> IX, cols.841-2), professor of Oriental languages and rector of the University, and Christoph G. Saxe (1714-1806; <I>NNBW</I> VIII, cols. 1281-3), professor of History and antiquities.<B><I>This Dutch translation is much enlarged and corrected</I></B>, and the plates were newly cut combining several existing maps of the area. For instance the three folding maps of Algeria were corrected and brought up to date following the maps of De l'Isle and D'Aville.The first volume is devoted primarily to North Africa (Barbary) with maps of Algeria, Lybya and Tunis, and plates of the town Algiers, birds, musical notations of Bedouin, Moorish, Turkish and other tunes (in European notation), Roman antiquities, etc. The second volume is primarily devoted to Egypt, including many chapters and plates on the Egyptian and Roman antiquities (including a 'facsimile' of the famous mosaic of Palestrina, following the engraving in a work by Ath. Kircher : "in Kirchii Latium, p. 100"), with further chapters on Syria and Palestine. It is especially valuable for its maps of the areas, including a map of Jerasalem and a 'facsimile' of the Peutinger map and a map of the eastern part of the Mediterranean. There are also many zoological and botanical plates, illustrating the plants, here for the first time arranged according to the Linnaeus system.Vol. 1 starts with the half-title, title, dedication to Mr. Cornelis Anthony de Vos, councellor of Utrecht (pp. (5-6)), the important preface by Meinard Tydeman, dated 1774 (pp. I-XIV), the preface by the translator Pieter Boddaert, dated Utrecht 15 August 1771 (pp. V-XII), the preface to the second English edition of 1757 by Shaw (pp. XIII- XXXI), an epitaph for Shaw (p. XXXII), List of subscribers (8 pp.), and contents (pp. XXXIII-XXXVI). The text on Algeria is on pp.1-120; on Tunis: pp. 121-204, followed by the additions on natural history on pp. 205-357 with a separate half-title: 'De natuurlyke historie van Barbaryen: of Natuurkundige en mengel-aanmerkingen van Tunis en Algiers. Eerste deel, tweede stuk'; pp. 358-65: "Byvoegsels en verbeteringen" (Additions and corrections); p. (366): imprint: 'Ter drukkerye van Willem van Rees, Ordinaris drukker der ... Staten van Utrecht, op de Ganzemarkt, 1771'.Vol. 2: half-title, title, contents, list of the 27 maps and plates (8 pp.), the text on Syria and Egypt (pp. 1-78), 'Natuurkundige en mengelaanmerkingen over verscheidene deelen van het ooste. Tweede deels, tweede stuk.' (pp. 79-224), 'Uittreksels en bylagen tot opheldering der voorgaande aanmerkingen' (extracts from Herodotus, Ptolemy, Strabo, Plinius, etc.; pp. 1-71), 'Proeve van Afrikaansche plantkunde' (on botany in north Africa; pp.72-104 and pl. 13-19); 'Lyst van eenige zeldzame, Afrikaansche versteeningen ...'; pp. 105-30); on coins (pp.131-3); 'Byvoegsels en verbeteringen' (pp. 135-44); Index (pp. 1-32)).
