Show moreCarlo Alfonso Nallino ; a cura di Maria Nallino. Vol. 1 of the collected works of the Italian orientalist C. A. Nallino (1872-1938), who published his first treatise on Arab geography and astronomy at the age of 21. This was followed by a work on Al-Battani (1899-1907) which gained him international recognition. In 1938 he travelled in the Arabic Peninsula for two months, but died in Rome shortly afterwards. The present volume on Saudi Arabia, with which the series (published 1939-48) was inaugurated, was his last work. - Binding brownstained; front cover loose.
