ÆŸ "Kem" Kimon E Marengo. Set of 5 World War II propaganda posters depicting adaptations of Shahnameh scenes, in Farsi, apparent reprinted edition of the complete 6 scenes, chromolithographs on paper [London (for the Ministry of Information), 1942 or slightly later] 6 leaves (forming the complete set, a few light creases and chips to outer extremities, some scattered spotting and light surface dust, fair condition, versos blank, each 370 by 250 mm.Marengo was an Egyptian, who worked in Paris as a satirical cartoonist. At the outbreak of World War II, he was studying in Exeter College, Oxford, and turned his talents to aiding the Ministry of Information in London, producing over 3000 images on behalf of the British war effort. The Germans were increasingly using propaganda in Iran, and so Marengo was tasked with devising counter-measures. He drew on that nation's rich manuscript heritage, and repainted six images from the Shahnameh, replacing key figures with likenesses of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin overseeing the downfall of Hitler. These were initially produced as posters, and then as booklets of postcards, and dispersed during the Tehran conference when the Allied powers signed a declaration that committed them to Iran's independence.

ÆŸ Abu Muhammad al-Qasim ibn Ali bin Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Hariri, known as 'al-Hariri of Basra', Maqamat al-Hariri (the Assemblies of al-Hariri), in Arabic, decorated manuscript on buff paper [Mamluk territories (probably Egypt), second half of the thirteenth century] single volume, 60 leaves, misbound and uncollatable, containing majority of anecdotes numbered 30-50 (of 50), single column, 15 lines elegant black thuluth with chapter headings in red, some ink annotations and marginalia from fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, some light water-staining to outer edges, a few leaves with edges repaired (not affecting main body of text), overall bright and presentable condition, 300 by 205 mm.; eighteenth-century leather-backed boards, covers stamped with circular motifs in Mamluk style, rebacked and outer edges repaired, covers slightly faded  The Muqamat of al-Hariri is arguably the most treasured work of literature in the Arabic language after the Qur'an. The text consists of fifty literary and poetic anecdotes, endorsing Arabic proverbs, idioms and expressions, presented to the reader by Abu Zady al-Harith who is commonly interpreted as the narrator of the stories. The social history of the Maqamat is deeply rooted in oral traditions, with many anecdotes meant to be memorised and retold in large gatherings. The immediate popularity of the text meant that manuscript copies were commissioned all across the Islamic territories from Andalusia to Eastern Persia with translations into Turkish and Hebrew appearing in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as well. The rich imagery of the work also lead to the production of many illustrated manuscript copies, containing iconic illustrations of the famous scenes, and leaving an Arabic literary legacy comparable to that of the Shahnameh in Persian tradition.  Al-Hariri of Basra (d. 1122) was a poet and government official based in the city of Basra in Seljuk Iraq. Although the concept of the 'muqama' had already been established by the twelfth century, al-Hariri elevated the existing form of Arabic literature, a literary genre combining rhymed prose with intervals of poetry, to a fine artform with his Muqamat. The present codex is a fine and early example of the text, containing almost half of the anecdotes, copied only about 150 years after the author's death. Very few early copies survive in book form, for another example see Sotheby's, 1 May 2001, Lot 12.  For a leaf from an early illustrated Muqamat, see lot 28.

The manuscript includes a complete colophon inscribed by Jubra'il bin Yousha (Gabriel son of Joshua) recording that the volume was completed in the Holy city of Jerusalem on 9 April 1579 AD.

ÆŸ Hasan bin Umar bin Hasan ibn Habib al-Halabi, Jami'yat al-Akhbar fi Isma' Al-Khalaf'a wa Muluk al-Amsaar (A historical and geographical account of the Caliphs and Kings of Islamic lands), in Arabic, decorated manuscript on buff paper [Ottoman Levant, dated Sha'ban 1125 AH (1713 AD)]single volume, 91 leaves, possibly lacking a fihrist at the front of the volume, else apparently textually complete, single column, 24 lines cursive naskh, headings and key words in red, catchwords throughout, contemporary marginalia and annotations throughout, waqf inscriptions for a private collector named Haj Ibramin Efendi Arabi (dated 1135 AH / 1723 AD), with their seal stamped to final leaf, some light water-staining to upper edges of leaves, a few scattered marks and stains, overall clean example, 222 by 165 mm.; contemporary leather-backed boards with flap, worn, covers and edges crudely repaired Habib al-Halabi (d. 1377 AD) was a Damascus-born historian that lived in Aleppo. He travelled extensively during his lifetime, notably visiting Egypt, the Hejaz and the Levant. The present work is a historical and geographical account of the early Caliphs and Kings of these regions, possibly inspired by his travels. The volume not only describes these rulers, but also offers insight into the geographical locations in which they settled, their 'Amsaar' (garrison towns), and the physical proximity of these locations to each other. Manuscript copies of Habib al-Halabi's works are uncommon, the two known works are Durrat al-Aslak fi Dawlat al-Atrak and Tadkirat al-Nabih fi Ayaam al-Mansur wa Banih, which are recorded in institutional ownership. However the present work is an exceptionally rare text, with no other copies traced in such institutions or sold at public auction.

ÆŸ Ali ibn al-Abbas al-Majusi, Kitab Kamil as-Sina'a at-Tabbaiya (The Complete Book of the Medical Art), copied by Salam'ullah bin Habib'ullah bin Muhammad, in Arabic, decorated manuscript on paper [Safavid Persia, dated 990-91 AH (1582-84 AD)]single volume, two books bound in one, each of these with ten chapters (together 20 chapters), 600 leaves, one leaf lacking in final gathering (replaced in manuscript facsimile), textually complete, single column, 21 lines black naskh, chapter headings and important sections in red, catchwords throughout, each of the twenty chapters with an index of the 'bab' within and each with a separate colophon, first six chapters of first book misbound in nineteenth century (with book 1 bound after book 2, and the maqalas in Book 2 misbound in the present sequence 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), some very minor marginal staining to some small sections, occasional light mottling, a few outer edges repaired (only affecting the text of two leaves), overall very attractive and clean condition, 240 by 180 mm.; later leather over pasteboards, faintly pressed central medallions to covers, rebacked, edges a little scuffedExceptionally rare complete copy of a primary and fundamental work of medicine from the Golden Age of Islam, preceding and influencing Avicenna's Canon on Medicine Provenance:Produced for a wealthy and important patron in sixteenth-century Persia on fine paper, and in the hand of a single scribe, who names himself as Salam'ullah bin Habib'ullah bin Muhammad in a number of the colophons at the end of individual sections of the work. In addition, many of these colophons record dates of their completion showing that the whole codex took two years to produce (Book 1, maqalas 1 records a date of "Jumadi 990", while 2 has "Rajab 990", 3 has "Rajab 990", 4 has "Shaban 990", 5 has "Dey 990", 6 has "Muharram 991", 7 has "Safar 991", 8 has "Safar 991", 9 has "Safar 991", 10 has "Rabi Thani 991"; and Book 2, maqalas 5 and 10 record dates of "Rajab 991" and "Dey 991").  Text:Ali ibn al-Abbas al-Majusi was a tenth-century Persian physician and psychologist, known in the west by his latinised name 'Hali Abbas', who is best known for this encyclopaedia of medicine. Al-Majusi was born in Ahvaz (southwest Persia) and was , perhaps, the most celebrated physician in the Eastern Caliphate of the Buwayhid dynasty, becoming royal physician to Emir 'Abdul al-Daula Fana Khusraw (reigned 949-983). The present medical treatise was compiled under Emir Khusraw's patronage, and hence is also known by the alternative title Al-Malikiyya (The Royal Book, or 'Liber Regalis' in Latin). Emir Khusraw founded a hospital in Shiraz and the 'al-Adudi Hospital' in Baghdad to show his support for the medical arts, and Al-Majusi was probably working in the latter in circa 981 AD, where he must have composed this work. He s thought to have died either c. 990 AD or 1010 AD.This work was monumentally influential in Islamic medicine, and even had a profound impact in the West. It was first translated into Latin by Constantinus Africanus in the eleventh century, for use as a primary text in the medical school of Salerno, and then it was translated again in 1127 by Stephen of Antioch. Knowledge of the work was so widespread by the fourteenth century that he is named in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, in which the Doctor in the prologue is described as "Well read was he in Esulapius, / And Deiscorides, and in Rufus, Hippocrates, and Hali, and Galen". This text is divided into two distinctive books, and then these are each divided into ten 'maqalas' (sections), which are further divided into 'babs' (chapters), forming the twenty sections as represented here. The first deals with the theory of medicine, including anatomical structures (the physical structure of the body) and its physiology (the function of these parts), and the second examines the practical treatment of medicine, the application of medical treatments and surgery. Indeed, It is earliest known Arabic medical work to provide detailed instructions on surgical procedure. Complete manuscript copies of this text are exceptionally rare. The vast encyclopaedic nature of the text made it an expensive commodity in the medieval world, and the volume of text included meant that it would likely have to be copied across multiple codices. The present example appears to have been bound as two separate books at the time of copying before being joined together in one large volume in the nineteenth century (albeit bound in reverse order with Book 2 preceding Book 1.

A Celestial Globe, engraved in brass by "Iskandrani", depicting zodiac signs and stellar constellations [probably Safavid Persia, dated 1128 AH (1716 AD)] single brass sphere, engraved with signs of the zodiac, individual stars and stellar constellations, inscribed throughout with jagged inscriptions carved into the brass by hand, latitudinal and longitudinal lines present, brass a little darkened, some oxidisation to sections of engravings, a few small areas of rubbing and light surface scratches, c. 200 mm. in diameter Celestial globes of this nature were used by astrologers, astronomers, Islamic scholars and scientists alike. They were popularised in the Timurid period by patrons who extended their support for the arts into the sciences as well, and fine examples of these scientific and astrological instruments including astrolabes and other astrological globes from this period are predominantly from the Eastern Ilkhanate regions of Samarkand and Herat. Celestial globes of this nature portray stars and constellations as if viewed from above, and were often used as astronomical instruments to guide the viewer and serve as a map of the heavens. The exact proportions and presence of lines also gave these objects a religious purpose as they could be used to tell prayer times and also establish the location of Mecca. A similar example, dated 1197 AH (1782-83 AD) was sold in Sotheby's, 25th April 2012, lot 584, realising £38,450.
