Item description from seller

Large 4to (250 x 314 mm). (2), 664 pp. Lithographed throughout in Arabic and Urdu with elaborate lithograph title-page. Modern brown morocco with flap. A large Urdu lithograph-printed commentary on the Qur'an, mimicking the manuscript tradition of the Islamic 'tafasir', or Qur'an commentary. The Arabic text is presented in the largest and finest lettering, with interlinear Urdu and Persian translations, and the Urdu commentary itself printed entirely in the margins. This work is quite scarce, with only one copy listed in institutions on OCLC. - The book is printed in a large, fine format, with an elaborate lithographed title-page, and two floral-bordered opening 'unwan decorations to the opening pages. Like the overall format of the work, this imitates the much older manuscript tradition, a specialty of Urdu lithographic printing. While not as swift as typesetting, lithographs copied handwritten text, allowing for the beautiful calligraphy expected of a Qur'an. - Paper repairs to the margins of the first two leaves, with no loss to text; endpapers replaced. In very good condition. - By tradition, from the library of the Rev. Lewis Bevan Jones (1880-1960), British Baptist missionary and pioneer in Christian-Muslim relations. - OCLC 191110499.…

We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor Léon (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.…
