deutsche Erstausgabe. sehr guter Zustand, 181 S., zahlreiche teils farbige Abb., kart. ungelesen/ Neubuch. Herausgegeben und übersetzt von Uwe Pfullmann. Der finnische Orientalist ist angesichts seiner Bedeutung - er verbrachte rund 6 Jahre seines kurzen Lebens in Ägypten, Arabien, Persien und Syrien und leistete dabei als enorm sprachkundiger Mensch vor allem Pionierarbeiten zur Sprachforschung - noch immer nicht hinreichend gewürdigt worden. So ist es bezeichnend, dass mehr als150 Jahre bis zur deutschen Übersetzung dieses Berichtes verstrichen. Reihe Edition Morgenland Band 1 Gramm 600.…

Zustand: Good. 8vo. VII, [1 blank], 126, [2 blank] pp. With a steel-engraved map at the end. It includes printed music for a Bedouin melody and an appendix with Arabic terms and phrases. Contemporary half calf over marbled paper boards (rubbed at extremities, spine worn and with minor losses). On the front flyleaf contemporary ownership entry of John Snellman (1815-1883), Finish senator and relative of renown Johan Vilh. Snellman (1806-1881), statesman and philosopher. A clean copy with occasional toning to pages.First edition, published posthumously in the original Swedish, of the account of Wallin's journey through Arabia, covering the wastelands of the Nafud Desert, where he reached Ha il, then continued southward to Medina and Mecca after returning to Egypt. More precisely, Wallin ?moved eastwards from Wadi al-Araba, first touching upon the upper regions of Wadi Sirhan, then on to the oasis of Djuf (Algawf) and crossed the central regions of Shammar, via Djobbah (Gubbi), the Great Nefud (Nufood), and Hail. Of Shammar and its inhabitants he provided the fullest account, unsurpassed by later travellers in its scholarly precision? (Henze).Wallin, a Finnish orientalist, set out for the Middle-East in 1843 under the name of Abd al-Wali and visited Mecca in 1845, several years before Richard Burton. The account was later translated into English (?Narrative of a Journey from Cairo to Medina and Mecca') and published in the ?Journal of the Royal Geographical Society? in 1854. The English version, however, does not include the appendix with Arabic terms. The work was probably left incomplete as the indication ?fragment? seems to suggest.K.-E.

8vo. VII, (1), 126 pp., final blank leaf. With lithographed map at the end of the volume; printed notes of a Bedouin melody within the text. Contemporary green half calf with giltstamped spine title and marbled sides, original printed yellow wrappers bound within with wood-engraved desert illustration on lower cover. First edition, published posthumously. - Extremely rare account of Wallin's principal journey through Arabia, unknown to most bibliographers: "It was not until two years after his death", writes Henze, "that the report of his first (and most important) journey (performed in 1845, a year before the appearance of the first volume of Carl Ritter's 'Arabia') was published". This refers to the English "Narrative of a Journey from Cairo to Medina and Mecca", which was printed in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society in 1854. In fact, an extensive account of the first leg of this highly significant journey was first given to the world in December 1853, but little more than a year after the author's passing. Of this Swedish-language book, edited by Berndt Otto Schauman, less than two dozen copies are known worldwide, 12 of which are in Finnish libraries (the remainder distributed throughout Sweden [4 copies], Germany [2 copies], Denmark, France, and the U.S.A. [a single copy each]). In contrast with the later JRGS publication, the present work includes an appendix rendering Arabic terms and phrases that occur throughout the text in the original language and script. - Like his more famous contemporary J. L. Burckhardt, Wallin was fluent in Arabic and, in local costume, was capable of passing for a scholarly sheikh. Indeed, the two explorers are often compared: "I see many points of resemblance between them, the same iron constitution, the same versatility, the same indomitable energy, the same imperturbable temper" (H. C. Rawlinson, quoted in Henze). Financially backed by his alma mater, the University of Helsinki, Wallin departed for the Middle East in 1843 and set out on his expeditions from Cairo under the name of Abd al-Wali. "In 1845, proceeding southeast across the wastelands of the Nafud Desert, he reached Ha'il then continued by force of circumstances southward to Medina and Mecca. From there he returned to Egypt" (Howgego). More precisely, he "moved eastwards from Wadi al-Araba, first touching upon the upper regions of Wadi Sirhan, then on to the oasis of Djuf ('Algawf') and crossed the central regions of Shammar, via Djobbah ('Gubbi'), the Great Nefud ('Nufood'), and Hail [.] Of Shammar and its inhabitants he provided the fullest account, unsurpassed by later travellers in its scholarly precision" (Henze). After his return to Europe in 1850, Wallin was made Professor of oriental languages at Helsingfors. His notes provide a detailed overview of the political and religious movements and the role of the different tribes in Palestine and especially in Saudi Arabia. - Occasional brownstaining; binding somewhat rubbed, but a fine copy on the whole. - Contemporary ownership "Bergelin" to front wrapper cover; bookplate of the journalist Kurt Bergengren (1920-85) on pastedown. - K.-E.

(21.5 x 14 cm). pp.vii+126. Contemporary cloth backed marbled boards with manuscript title label. Old ownership inscription of G. Bjorkstein to flyleaf. Engraved map to rear. Some text in Arabic.

Ordinis Philos. ad Imperialem Alexandream in Fennia Universitatem: FIRST EDITION. 12mo. (18.5 x 11.5 cm). pp.47+[1]. Near contemporary rose wrappers, author's last name to front cover in blue crayon. Text in Latin and Arabic. Old pencil ownership inscription to title-page. Some light fading to wrappers, generally a very good copy. 1) First edition, posthumously published, based on Wallin's diary and letters written during expeditions into the interior of Arabia. His first journey was made in 1845 to report on the political developments at a time when the region was striving for independence from Egyptian rule. Disguised as a horse trader, he travelled across the Nafud to the Jubbah, Ha'il and the Shammar Mountains. From Ha'il, Wallin joined a caravan of Persian Shia pilgrims to Mecca and Medina. Wallin's second journey took him across the Hijaz Mountains to Tabuk in north-eastern Saudi Arabia. He continued to Tayma (oasis) on the edge of Wahhabi territory and became the first European to set foot there. His journey finally ended in Basra. In 1850 he returned to Finland, where he was appointed professor of oriental languages at the University of Helsinki. 2) First edition, published posthumously in the original Swedish, of an account of Wallin s principal journey through Arabia, unknown to most bibliographers: "It was not until two years after his death", writes Henze, "that the report of his first (and most important) journey (performed in 1845, a year before the appearance of the first volume of Carl Ritter's Arabia ) was published".

In contrast with the later JRGS publication, the present work includes an appendix rendering Arabic terms and phrases that occur throughout the text in the original language and script.
