Description

1757 HISTORY OF THE SARACENS + LIFE OF MAHOMET 2 VOLUMES 1757 HISTORY OF THE SARACENS + LIFE OF MAHOMET 2 VOLUMES The History of the Saracens by Simon Ockley, B.D. Third edition. Published 1757. 2 volumes. Covers are full leather and have light wear. Only a few pages have some light foxing, otherwise pages are clean and have no tears or creases. Contents are in very good or better condition. Bookplates of Archibald B. Roosevelt are on the inside front covers of both books. Third edition of this classic and influential work, first published in 1708. Ockley (1678-1720) was Professor of Arabic at the University of Cambridge. "The importance of Ockley's work in relation to the progress of oriental studies cannot be overestimated [...] Ockley for the first time made the history of the early Saracen conquests attractive to the general reader, and stimulated the student to further research. [The 'History'] became a secondary classic, and formed for generations the main source of the average notions of early Mohammedan history". The plate shows the Kaaba at Mecca, engraved after a drawing preserved in a manuscript in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
