Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Original cloth binding, xxvi, 247 pages, 1 map, front cover loose, front free endpaper almost so, upper and lower part of spine missing (with the "H" of Hunza in the title which is printed there), corners rubbed, first few pages a little dog eared, in general inside a very good and fresh copy. Large format (ca. 35,5 x 25,5 cm). With interesting provenance, faint stamp of (probably) "War Office", further stamp of the "Intelligence Division" and withdrawn stamp of "Ministry of Defence / Whitehall Library" on title page, and the Intelligence Division stamp also on the rear of the map. The book is about "The Khajuná or Burishaski [Burushaski] Language (Spoken in Hunza, Nagyr, and Part of Yasin)", with chapters on Vocabulary in Common Use, Dialogues in Khajuna compared with various Dialects of Shina, Miscellaneous Sentences, Dialogues in English, Urud Persian and Khajuna. Khajuna Songs, Legends, Fables, etc. and a Grammatical Sketch. Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner (1840 - 1899) was born in Hungary and became already at the age of 23 professor in London for Arabic and Islamic Law. He spent some 20 years in India, where he was instrumental in the foundation of the University of the Punjab. After his return he commissioned the building of one of the first Mosques in Western Europe, the Shah Jahan Mosque in London. He spent only very little time in Hunza, but published extensively about it. For some reason all of his books are very rare in trade. This book was originally published in 1889 in Calcutta, both editions are rare. Probably Leitner brought unbound copies of this book back to England and had the title page and the short content list exchanged; pp. xv to xxvi, describing the composition of the book is also new, further the map was added. Otherwise the original sheets were used, as shown i.a. by the imprint on the last page mentioning that this book was actually printed by the India Central Printing Office in 1889 in an edition of 500 copies (only half of the last "0" is printed because of a defect in the type, both is the first and second edition. That the same sheets were used is shown also by other printing irregularities). This book was published with a "Supplement" entitled "Dardistan in 1866, 1886 and 1893" which is actually a separate book, not present here. Rare in the trade.
