In den WarenkorbLudovico di Varthema (ca. 1468-1517) was one of the first Europeans to visit the cities of Mecca and Medina and to travel as far east as India and the East Indies, whose travel account survived. Varthema was an Italian traveller and author. He probably came from Bologna or possibly Rome and he might have been a soldier in the pa…pal forces, but not much is known about his early life. Due to Varthema writing and later publishing his travel account, much more is known about where he spent his later life. In 1802, he sailed from Venice via Cairo in Egypt to Damascus in Syria, where he embarked upon his first remarkable journey. He joined a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, being one of the first Europeans to enter these holy cities, and then continued south through the Arabian Peninsula to Yemen. From Aden in Yemen he sailed to several cities on the coast of Somalia before sailing along the coast of Oman to Ormuz, Iran and subsequently travelling inland across Persia to IndiaAn extensive analysis of Varthema and his travels by Richard Carnac Temple has been added to the English translation and the whole work has been edited by Norman Mosley Penzer, to make the present work. R.C. Temple (1850-1931) was an Indian-born British administrator and an anthropological writer. He was a member of several societies and institutes, such as the Royal Asiatic Society, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Hakluyt Society. The editor, N.M. Penzer (1892-1960), was a British scholar specialised in Oriental studies and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.Binding slightly soiled, edges foxed and untrimmed.

Text set in Monotype Baskerville. Half white and half blue cloth with gold lettering… on spine and a blind-tooled image (probably of Varthema) on the front board. Ludovico di Varthema (ca. 1468-1517) was one of the first Europeans to visit the cities of Mecca and Medina and to travel as far east as India and the East Indies. He probably came from Bologna or possibly from Rome and might have been a soldier in the Papal forces, but not much is known about his early life. Due to Varthema's writing and later publishing his travel account, much more is known about his later years: in 1802 he sailed from Venice via Cairo in Egypt to Damascus in Syria, where he embarked upon his first remarkable journey. He joined a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, being one of the first Europeans to enter these holy cities, and then continued south through the Arabian Peninsula to Yemen. From Aden in Yemen he sailed to several cities on the coast of Somalia before sailing along the coast of Oman to Ormuz and subsequently travelling inland across Persia to India. Varthema supposedly travelled across large parts of the East Indies, but since his descriptions of this part of his journey lose some of its accuracy, scholars doubt whether he made the journey himself. Nonetheless, the itinerary shows that the journey that far to the East was not impossible or unheard of at the beginning of the 16th century. - Varthema's Itinerary was first published in Rome in 1510, and numerous editions have been published since. Almost immediately after its first publication the work was translated into Latin (1511), and numerous translations into other languages followed. In 1863 the Hakluyt Society published the principal English translation of the original Italian work, by John Winter Jones. In the present edition, prepared by Norman Mosley Penzer, an extensive analysis of Varthema and his travels by Richard Carnac Temple has been added to Jones's translation. Temple (1850-1931) was an Indian-born British administrator and an anthropological writer. He was a member of several learned societies and institutes, including the Royal Asiatic Society, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Hakluyt Society. Penzer (1892-1960) was a British scholar specialising in Oriental studies and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. - Binding slightly soiled, edges foxed and untrimmed.

In den WarenkorbLarge 4to (236 x 294 mm). (40) pp. With 12 engraved plates (11 numbered) of facsimile Arabic manuscript on 6 leaves. 20th century green boards over black cloth spine with gilt title (rebacked). This 18th century transcription, translation, and facsimile of a law manuscript by Muhammad ibn Ali al-Rahbi (d. ca. 1183 CE) marks a pi…votal moment in the cross-cultural exchange of legal knowledge between the Muslim world and the European Enlightenment. The mind behind this work was William Jones (1746-94), a British philologist, orientalist, and judge famous for being among the first to point to a link between European and Indo-Aryan languages, which would later be known as the Indo-European language group. - As a judge in colonial British Bengal, Jones had a particular interest in Hindu and Muslim law codes, not only in theory but in practical application. This work was an ambitious project to produce an edition of a Muslim legal manuscript, one which resulted in a rare and insightful glimpse for English-speaking readers into the complexities, nuances, and deep history of Muslim jurisprudence. - The final engravings were executed with great care in order to preserve not only the meaning of the Arabic but also the handsome calligraphy of the source manuscript. This marriage of scholarly rigour and aesthetic appreciation are a testament to the intellectual curiosity and respect for (and interest in) diverse legal systems which characterized both Jones himself and the era of the Enlightenment. A copy of this work was found in the library catalogue of Benjamin Franklin (catalogue number 2826) - one of the very few documented Islamic texts owned by an American Founding Father. - Paper slightly brittle, some offsetting to plates. - With the library stamp of the Library of the New York Law Institute on the title-page and following 2 leaves. - ESTC T57055.

Publisher's original blue full cloth with giltstamped ship "Victoria" and blindstamped border to cover, as well as giltstamped spine-title. First Hakluyt edition and the principal English translation… of "the first recorded visit by a Christian to Mecca" (Blackmer), containing the first printed eyewitness account of any place in today's United Arab Emirates, first published in Italian in 1510. - On his return journey from Mecca, Varthema visited Ras al-Khaimah ("Giulfar") and portrayed the city as "most excellent and abounding in everything", with "a good seaport", and whose inhabitants are "all Muslims". While Montalboddo's famous anthology of discoveries, printed in 1507, contained the first printed reference to the Arabian Gulf region, it was Varthema's work, published only three years later, that offered the first actual report from the region by a Western traveller who had visited the coast. - A gentleman adventurer and soldier from Bologna, the author left Venice at the end of 1502. In 1503 he reached Alexandria and ascended the Nile to Cairo, continuing to Beirut, Tripoli, Aleppo and Damascus, where, adopting Islam and taking the name of Yunas, he joined a Mameluke escort of a Hajj caravan and began the pilgrimage to Mecca. Thanks to his knowledge of Arabic and Islam, Varthema was able to appreciate the local culture of the places he visited. Impressed and fascinated, he described not only rites and rituals, but also social, geographical, and day-to-day details. After embarking at Jeddah and sailing to Aden, he was denounced as a Christian spy and imprisoned. He secured his release and proceeded on an extensive tour of southwest Arabia. Stopping in Sanaa and Zebid as well as a number of smaller cities, he describes the people, the markets and trade, the kind of fruits and animals that are plentiful in the vicinity, and any historical or cultural information deemed noteworthy. Returning to Aden, and after a brief stop in Ethiopia, he set sail for India. - From the collection of Col. Samuel Barrett Miles with his stamp of ownership to flyleaf. His widow sold the book to the Bath Public Reference Library in 1920 (their bookplate and shelfmark to pastedown, their blindstamped ownership to several pp., including the folding map). Old shelfmark label to spine. - Heads of spine and corners somewhat rubbed, slightly scuffed. Occasional light spotting; tear to right margin of folding map; pp. 39-42 loosened. A good copy. - Howgego I, V15. Macro 2240. Cf. Blackmer 338. Gay 140.

All edges red. First German edition of the first English work on accounting to achieve international renown. Signed by the translator, Thomas Martens (at…the end of the foreword). - First published in 1769, the work went through at least 16 editions in England alone, also being translated into German, Dutch, Danish, French, Italian and Russian. Jones's attack on the Italian method of book-keeping sparked much controversy and provoked the publication of various "national" systems of book-keeping, inspiring passions without equal in the history of accountancy. Jones "heralded the coming of a new method of book-keeping by single entry, which would be much simpler to understand and operate, enable all errors to be detected without much delay or trouble, provide valuable information not yielded readily by the double-entry system, and, finally, would banish the possibility of fraudulent book-keeping entries. The panegyrics lavished by the author on his new system were coupled with an intemperate attack on the so-called Italian system of double entry, which, in the course of a lengthy castigation, was said to be delusive, conducive to error, and capable 'of being converted into a cloak, for the vilest statements that designing ingenuity can fabricate'" (Littleton/Yamey). - Covers insignificantly rubbed.

SU leicht berieben, sonst gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - BRUT y Tywysogyon or The Chronicle of the Princes was described by the late Sir J. E. Lloyd as 'the greatest monument of Welsh historiography in the Middle Ages.' It has lo…ng been recognized as a source of prime importance for the history of medieval Wales and as one which supplies some details of interest about contemporary events in England and elsewhere. Of the original thirteenth century Latin text no copy has survived, but three independent Welsh translations are extant. In this volume Professor Thomas Jones gives an English translation of the Peniarth MS. 20 version, which is the most complete of the three and which was published in full for the first time in 1941. Two volumes which are to follow will contain critical texts and translations of the other two versions. In his Introduction, Professor Jones surveys the work of earlier scholars. He discusses the contents, origin, and sources of the chronicle and describes the special characteristics of the Peniarth MS. 20 version. The detailed Notes show the many discrepancies in the three Welsh versions as compared with one another and, used in conjunction with the text, they supply the combined substantial evidence of the three Welsh versions and so of the lost Latin chronicle which underlies them. This volume and the two which are to follow will be indispensable to the student of the history of medieval Wales. They should also appeal to the wider circle of readers who are interested in contemporary records of events and personages of the past. (Verlagstext).
