Show morePtolemys map of Arabia (his map of the sixth province of Asia) is regarded as the basis for future representations of the peninsula, which changed as new information reached Europe. It is accurately located geographically on the southern coast of the Gulf. However the island of Tyllo (Tylos/Bahrain) that should be across from Catara is too Far East near the straits of Hormuz, this map Boundaries are shown as spotted line, Mountains are represented as slabs and shaded. They have a double outline, perhaps an unsuccessful attempt to show the thickness of the slab. The indentures of the coastline, the lines of rivers and outlines of the mountains have a characteristic semi-circular appearance. Names are in Roman type. Nomenclature is approximately the same as the 1478 edition. The engraver is unknown, but M.A.Hind has suggested Rosseli. In the British Museum copy the map was printed in two halves, but these have been joined and the map refolded.

With title-page printed in red and black and decorated with Halma's engraved Athena and Demeter/Ceres device, a woodcut tailpiece, 3 woodcut decorative initials (3 different series) and a factotum built up from cast fleurons. With the main text in Arabic with a parallel Latin translation on the facing pages, and occasional words or lines in Greek, Hebrew and Syriac. Early 19th-century boards covered with blue paper. First edition of the apocryphal Arabic Infancy Gospel, with the Arabic text on the versos and the Latin translation on the facing rectos. Sike (or Siecke), a noted orientalist from Bremen, based his edition on a manuscript that was formerly owned by Jacobus Golius, and the many notes include exerpts from the Quran and other works. The work narrates miracle stories from the first 12 years of Jesus's life, and probably originated in the fourth or fifth century. Although scholars refer to the text as the "Arabic Infancy Gospel", it was most likely originally written in Syriac. First quires with some water stains, the title-page slightly worn and the head margin of a couple pages trimmed to (but not shaving) the running head, but still in good condition Title page printed in black and red. Title vignette: device of Halma and Van de Water, with motto "Cultior his vita est." Signatures: *-3*⁴ A-X⁴ ²A-²M⁴ (3*4 blank, P3 signed P2, ²M4 blank).

Third incunabular edition of the principal work of Albumasar (d. 886), the Arabian mathematician and astronomer whose works exercised a profound influence upon the medieval world view in the occident. His "Flores" are probably extracted from "De magnis coniunctionibus" (cf. DSB I, 35, 1); according to Houzeau/Lancaster, no Arabic original text or manuscript is known. The woodcuts show allegories of the planets and the zodiac, illustrating this astrological florilegium. - First 3 ff. show a faint brownstain; otherwise only very insignificantly browned.

Venise, Otnus de Luna, Papiensis Folio 104pp, 2 columns in each page, 68 or 69 lines, partial damage to the last two pages , upper part of spine chipped 17th century Vellum, Hieronymus Surianus 10 january 1497 An extreemly rare edition of incunable work of islamic medicine of the XII century. Abu Marwan Abdul Malik Ibn Zuhr (1113- 62 or 1199) was known to mediaeval Europe as Avenzoar and Abhomeron, and came of an illustious Arabian family who setteled in spain earlyin the tenth century. he was born at sevilee. and studied medicine by his father (who held the Ca"nn of Avecenna in small esttem) and achieved great fame as a physician in spain & North Africa. One of the Foremost thinkers of islam, he was opposed to astrology and medicine mysticism; the mysticism tha he was opposed to may be said to have survived until recent times. and his exemplified in the dying decleration of a vererinary surgeon who when pressed for the secret of his success in surgery said; " i biles my tools" Avnzoar who took a great intrest in materia medica and pharmacy, was opposed to logical distinctions" (Donald Campbell " Arabian Medicine and its infuluance on the Middle ages" pp 90-91) "Ibn Zuhr was the first to write acareful description of mediastinal abcess from which he probably suffered. He describes pericarditis, both wet and dry, and diffrentiates them from other lung conditions. while in jail he wrote a careful description of cancer of the stomach from wich his cell mate was suffering" (kahairallah, A." outline of Arabic contributions to medicine" pp 126) Ibn Zuhr's works were translated to latin and were printed repeatedly. His great influance over medieval Europe is seen from his great influance over Arnold of villanova and from his adoption as a text-book in the universities of Europe for several centures.
