Show moreEx manuscripto edidit, ac Latina versione & notis illustravit Henricus Sike. 8vo. 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).
