Description
164 pages. The 912 lots in this sale represent "A remarkable collection of diverse material on Middle Eastern and Arabic culture, language, archaeology, history, exploration, texts, art, bibliography, current affairs and economics. It is the rare product of the combined passions of the bibliophile and the academic, representing 40 years of diligent and tenacious collecting. It could hardley be more wide-ranging (the books are dated 1488 to 1998), and the number of books (over 8,000) is in our experience without parallel." - from page 6. Clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Creasing to front cover. Book
