An encyclopedia on Hanafi jurisprudence is considered one of the most important texts in this field.

One of the leading Hanafi jurists of his time, he authored a number of significant works in the school, including Tanwir al-Absar and its two-volume commentary MinHijrah al-Ghaffar.

Two seals of the artist, 'Yiting' and 'Cheng yin'. Provenance: Bonhams Knightsbridge, 3 November 2014, lot 478 (described as “After Cheng Yiting”, and together with another plaque), sold for GBP 3,125 or approx. EUR 4,400 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). A Swedish private collector, acquired from the above, and thence by descent.

The hardwood frame with expected age cracks, nicks and losses, and traces of use.Dimensions: Size 62 x 31 cm (excl. frame)With a fine hardwood frame and brass fitting from the period. (2)This masterfully painted plaque represents a new style pursued by porcelain artists upon the fall of the Qing dynasty. With imperial orders discontinued, craftsmen in the porcelain center of Jingdezhen were released from the constraints of the court and eagerly sought to develop new markets. In 1928, eight of the leading artists formed a group called Yueman hui (Full Moon Society), because they met to exchange ideas during the full moon. This group later became known as Zhushan Bayou (Eight friends of Zhushan), comprised of Cheng Yiting, Wang Qi, Deng Bishan, Wang Dafan, Wang Yeting, He Xuren, Bi Botao, Xu Zhongnan, and Tian Hexian.Cheng Yiting (1895-1948), a native of Leping, Jiangxi province, began learning to paint on porcelain at the age of sixteen at the Jiangxi Ceramics School in Poyang. In 1925 he moved from Jiujiang to Jingdezhen and set up his own business before traveling to Shanghai in 1931 to study under the Zhe School artist, Cheng Zhang (1869-1938). It was during this period that his skills greatly improved and developed the exquisite bird and flower painting style for which he is most famous.Jiang Tingxi (1669-1732) was a noted Chinese painter, and an editor of the 5020-volume encyclopedia Gujin Tushu Jicheng (Complete Collection of Ancient and Modern Writings and Charts), which was published in 1726 and had been compiled by Jiang and Chen Menglei during the reigns of the Kangxi and Yongzheng Emperors. As an official painter and grand secretary to the imperial court, Jiang used a wide variety of artistic styles and focused particularly on paintings of birds and flowers. He was also proficient in calligraphy and his works influenced several later painters. Apart from cultural activity, as a holder of the jinshi degree, Jiang performed important duties in the Qing government's Office of Military Finance, on par with Zhang Tingyu (headed by Yinxiang, the Yongzheng Emperor's brother). He was born in Changshu, Jiangsu. Besides the name Yangsun, he was also known by the pseudonym Nansha.Literature comparison: For an overview of the artists' plaques depicting birds amongst lotus and chrysanthemum, see those from the Muwentang Collection published in Simon Kwan, Chinese Porcelain of the Republic Period, Hong Kong, 2008, nos. 44, 45, 47, 49, and 50.

Rather than choosing the eventual winner of the competition [Alphonse Louis Poitevin] to make the photomechanical reproductions of [Louis Vignes's] negatives [from the Dead Sea expedition], the Duc selected Charles Nègre, who had also been shortlisted for the prize. Nègre had developed a photogravure method that produced beautiful prints ... [and] improved [Vigne's negatives] considerably ... The book ... remains one of the finest photomechanically printed books of the era' (Parr & Badger).
