Show moreFirst edition of this standard work of reference for musicians and scholars alike. The wealthy French-born musicologist and painter Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger (1872-1932), a naturalised Brit of German-American descent, turned his interests to oriental studies and founded the artists' community at Sidi Bou Saïd. His lasting achievement is his present six-volume study of the history, theory, and repertory of Arabic music. Rodolphe d'Erlanger lived to see the publication of its first volume; his helpers Manoubi Snoussi, Henri Georg Farmer, Baron Carra de Vaux, Ali Darwish, and Ahmed El-Wafi completed the remaining volumes throughout a period of nearly three decades. - A clean, wide-margined copy.

Folio, 1 l(b.) + 1t + 1 + 14(cont.) + 508 + 1 l(b.), title printed in red and black, with large woodcut of an oriental scholar at his reading desk, within a magnificent woodcut border, at the top Aesculapius (Greek god of medicine) surrounded by putti n a frieze, the architrave supported by two pairs of double columns, at the foot a row of half-length portraits of Mesue, Avicenna, Hippocrates, Galen and Rhazes; printed in double columns, two elaborate woodcut initials on first page; old vellum with new endpapers. An extremely rare edition of Books 1-12 of Rhazes's Continens (al-Hawi), the largest and most important of his works. "The arrangement of the subject-matter in al-Hawi gives the impression that the author probably had several study-files, each containing quires for copying notes from reference books. He did not neglect to record even those opinions which seemed false to him, invariable adding his private comments and personal experiences ... Each of al-Razi's medical study files was reserved for notes on a certain topic [and from these he] selected subject-matter for his other written works" (A. Z. Iskandar, Religion, learning and science in the Abbasid period, pp. 373-74). Signatures: a-z8 [et]8 [us]8 [rum] 8 aa-ee8 ff6 [prescription sign]4 gg-zz8 [2et]8 [2us]8 [2rum]8 A-Q8.

Title and date devised by Library staff. Autograph signatures inscribed on upper front of the print: "Winston S. Churchill 1921” (in pen), "T.E. Lawrence" (in pen) and "Edwin Allenby" (in pencil).
