The first letter only. Others were afterwards published in the "Journal asiatique." Consists of translations from Arabian authors, with notes and comments. First edition of this remarkable collection. "Consists of translations from Arabian authors, with notes and comments" (OCLC). - The French orientalist Fulgence Fresnel (1795-1855), a student of Sylvestre de Sacy, undertook studies of Arabic at Maronite College in Rome in 1826. Later he was appointed consular agent in Jeddah. In Arabia, he became a proficient speaker of local dialects, and came in contact with descendants of the Himyarites. Fresnel is credited as the first European to translate ancient Himyarite inscriptions. In 1851 he was put in charge of a scientific expedition to Mesopatamia. When the expedition members were recalled in 1854, Fresnel chose to remain, and died in Baghdad on November 30, 1855. - Foxed throughout, inkstain in the margin; some ms. pencil notes.
