Pencil annot. to p. vi of vol. II, correcting text. The first part of the world history of the great Syriac polymath Bar Hebraeus (1226-1286), known as the Chronicon Syriacum, 'a chronological and historical encyclopaedia', according to Budge's introduction, 'into which an enormous amount of information of various kinds (.) has been crammed': Bar Hebraeus 'deals with histories, religions, languages, the manners and customs of peoples; and adds biographies of great warriors and physicians; he describes battles and sieges and the capture of cities; and the coming of comets and extraordinary appearances in the heavens; and earthquakes, famines, falls of snow, and the freezing over of the Tigris and the Euphrates, and the prices of foodstuffs in times of famine and scarcity' (pp. v-vi). Bodleian Library MS. Huntington 52 is not currently digitised, so this facsimile remains the most accessible version of the MS, together with the only English translation (for which Budge worked from Bedjan's 1890 edition of the Syriac text).

Front pastedown has the bookplate of the Middle East scholar R.M.Burrell. His important library of books on the Middle East was sold by Sotheby's in 1999 (this was lot 319). On 17th October 1630, Edward Pococke (1604-1691) arrived in Aleppo as Chaplain of the Levant Company. While there, he deepened his study of the languages and culture of the region and began to collect Arabic manuscripts. In 1636, Pococke returned to England at the request of Archbishop Laud who had recently established a Chair of Arabic at Oxford and wanted Pococke to be the first holder of it. One of the manuscripts brought back by Pococke was the al-Mukhtasar fî'l-Duwal ('History of the Dynasties') of Abu'l-Faraj (Bar Hebraeus, 1226-1286). The lack of material in England on Islamic history and geography meant that Pococke felt unable to prepare his edition and translation and so he secured a sabbatical from Oxford and sailed for Constantinople where he spent the next three years collecting manuscripts. He returned to England shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War and it was only in 1650 that he published extracts from the "History" in his Specimen historiae Arabum which included other material culled from his now extensive collection of manuscripts. Pococke was a Royalist and the years of the Protectorate were hard: he almost lost his professorship and his priestly living. At the Restoration he returned to Oxford and began work on the complete Historia Compendiosa Dynastiarum. Finally, in 1663, almost thirty years after Pococke had returned from Aleppo with the manuscript of al-Mukhtasar fî'l-Duwal his far-reaching Historia which opened up Arab history to Western was published and "remained the standard edition until the twentieth century" (ODNB).
