"Il a été tiré de cet ouvrage 300 exemplaires numérotés. No. 253." First edition, no. 7 of 300 numbered copies on velin. Amply illustrated, colourful work by Yacoub Artin (1842-1919), Egyptian historian and former Minister of Education, on the origin of armorial bearings in the Middle East. The plates depict more than 300 coats of arms, many in striking full colour, with descriptions. Includes the study of Hieroglyphs, the Crescent, the Star of David, and many more symbols often found on Middle Eastern crests. "A strange collection of these symbols, drawn from plants and animals, conventional ornaments, and articles of domestic use, are figured in the plates of Artin Pasha's sumptuous work" (The Calcutta Review 118 [1904], p. 257). - Binding slightly dusty; some wear to spine-ends.
