Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Volume I: LII, + [5], 383 pp. / Volume II: [5], 343 pp. / Volume III: [5], 405 pp. + [52 ], half-titles, contemporary full calf, title gilt on raised spine, coat of arms of Duke de Luynes, minor restorations to binding, otherwise set in very good condition. The French scholar, Jean Gagnier ( Paris 1670-Oxford 1740) was professor of Oriental languages in Oxford and the predecessor of Edward Pocock. In 1723, already he published the life of the Prophet by Ismail Abu al-Fida [ Balanga p. 142] in Arabic and Latin. As most of his contemporaries could read neither Arabic nor Latin, they impressed upon Gagnier to publish a French language version of the description of the life of the Prophet. He published the first in 1832 in two volumes nine years later a complete new version appeared in three volumes. The historical biography which is really excellent, describes the life of the Prophet with all its fables and wonders. For the first time, the author used good, albeit more recent source material and quotes the Arab authors for the most part word by word. His translations are brilliant and for many years his book was held to be the best biography of the Prophet. Many later authors made references to it.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. First. THE FIRST AMERICAN QURAN. Springfield (Massachusetts): printed by Henry Brewer for Isaiah Thomas, Jun., Thomas & Whipple (Newburyport) and Thomas & Tappan (Portsmouth); October-1806. Octavo (8 1/8" x 4 13/16", 206mm x 123mm). [Full collation available.] Bound in contemporary sheep. On the spine, six panels. Title gilt to green sheep in the second panel. All edges of the text-block sprinkled blue. Starting at the head and tail, with some chips along the joints. A little skinning, and bumped corners. Foxed and tanned, mostly quite mildly but with passages moderate (quires R-T, Y and Aa). Ink gift inscription to the title-page: "A. Shelly/ from his friend/ E. Bingham/ 9 July '42" and a graphite gift inscription to p. iii (the first page of the preface): "Elizabeth S. Clark Jan 26th 1919/ from/ Grandmother". In Islam, the "people of the book" refers to those to whom divine revelation was made in written form; primarily this refers to Jews and Christians (in casual usage, this sometimes includes Muslims themselves). First printings of various sacred texts -- "bible" coming from the Greek ??????, "book" -- whether the Old Testament/Torah/Pentateuch/Septuagint or the New Testament, are among the great landmarks of the intellectual history of nations. The first bible printed in America -- the Eliot "Indian bible" (New Testament: 1661, full text: 1663) -- sells at auction for as much as $275,000, and a single leaf of the 1455 Gutenberg bible can sell at auction for well in excess of $100,000. The Koran (also Romanized Quran or Qur'an; "al" is the definite article in Arabic, and so "the Alcoran" is redundant) has its roots in the VIIc and the revelation of divine wisdom via the angel Gabriel. The text (first printed in 1538, traditionally copied scribally) is itself a holy object. Thus the present volume -- the first Quran published in America -- is both conceptually and literally important. The first translation of the Arabic text into English came via Alexander Ross's translation of André du Ryer's French translation (the first into any European language except Latin) published 1647; the present text is his, introduced (skeptically) by the publisher, Isaiah Thomas. Nevertheless, the Founding Fathers (John Adams's example of this edition held at the Boston Public Library, Thomas Jefferson's (more scholarly translation by Sale) at the Library of Congress) read the text with great interest. The marks of ownership indicate the book being in at least four sets of hands -- E. Bingham, who gave the volume to his or her friend A. Shelly on the 9th of July 1842; Elizabeth S. Clark and her grandmother, who gave it to her on the 29th of January 1919 -- and yet none is absolutely identifiable. Given the complex relationship between Americans and the Quran, it is nonetheless notable that it should be given as a gift between friends, as well as to a young woman from her grandmother.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. First Edition. Rare original 1824 printing (not a POD or reprint) for Scatcherd and Letterman; Cuthill; J. Nunn; Longman, Hurst, and Rees; and Orm and Brown. Printed by S. and R. Bentley, Dorset Street, Salisbury Square, London. Boards detached and title page is loose along with engraving of Mahomet opposite title page, but both are laid in. Tanning to pages with some foxing. Pages are uneven cut which is common for a book of this age and some pages have closed end tears. The preface is not kind to Islam stating "The Publishers, in disclosing the doctrines of Allah, sinceerely invite the Christian believer to compare them, with the lenient and spiritual character of the Gospel, and in the contrast, the clearness of evangelical light will reveal the dark incongruities of Islamism." The text, however, seems to be a direct printing of the Koran as given by Mahomet. Book includes a Memoir of Mahomet after the Preface and before the Chapters of the Koran containing chapters beginning with Introduction (I) and ending with The Cave (XVIII). Rare collector's copy. Item now in archival sleeve to preserve and protect condition. Our photo's/scans are of the actual item being sold, not a borrowed image! ; Engraving; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 260 pages.

Original full leather with red morocco spine label, joints weak but holding, otherwise fine condition. xi, [13]-260 pp., frontispiece portrait. This is a fairly early English translation of the Koran, but it is not an impartial presentation of this work. The preface and introductory Memoir of Mahomet are both derisive of the religion and its prophet, referring to him in the first sentence of the preface as the "arch-imposter." The Koran is characterized as "The most admirable monument of successful delusion ever displayed by history." The text of the Koran itself appears essentially free of editorial commentary of this sort. Published by Scatcherd and Letterman. OCLC 2211167.

Manuscrit inédit établi vers 1720 du marquis de Quincy précédé d?un avis rédigé par ses soins selon une attribution anonyme placée en tête (1 feuillet) : « De l?écriture du Marquis de Quincy. Préface (caviardage) pour être mise à la tête de l'ouvrage (?) j'ai taché par une espèce d?amusement d?extraire et tirer des divers ouvrages qui portent le titre de Koram tout ce qui m?a paru essentiel et utile sur les moeurs et la politique. J'ai formé ce petit ouvrage dont la lecture pourra devenir intéressante, j?avais eu dessein de ne prendre que les plus beaux préceptes de la morale de Mahomet mais comme la religion du Prophète et sa croyance est si étroitement liée avec les moeurs j?ai pensé qu?en y insérant les dogmes, je donnerai plus d?agrément à cet ouvrage ». Grand bailli d'épée du Nivernois, Charles Sevin, marquis de Quincy (1660-1728), général d'artillerie qui participa aux dernières guerres de Louis XIV, publia une Histoire militaire du règne de Louis le Grand (1726). Érudit bibliophile, il épousa Geneviève Pecquot de Saint-Maurice et forgea l?ex-libris manuscrit « Quincy-Saint Maurice ». Sa collection, qui compta dans un premier temps 400 manuscrits légués par son parent le conseiller au Parlement de Dijon Fevret de Fontette, fut cédée au marquis de Paulmy. Le « Catalogue des livres de la bibliothèque de M. le marquis de Quincy, grand baillif d'épée du Nivernois. 1776 » est conservé à la Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal (cote : Ms-4639). Un des premiers recueils resté inédit consacrés au Coran. En 1647 l?ancien consul de France à Alexandrie, André du Ryer (1580?1660) publia pour la première fois à Paris L?Alcoran de Mahomet traduit de l?arabe en français, réédité à plusieurs reprises au XVIIe puis au XVIIIe siècle, qui fut à la base des traductions en anglais, en hollandais et en allemand. En 1721, Hadrian Reland publiait le mémoire Religion des Mahométans exposée par leurs propres docteurs avec des éclaircissements sur les opinions qu?on leur a faussement attribuées. « Les auteurs qui nous ont transmis l?histoire du mahométisme ont noyé dans une infinité d?extravagances la morale & les préceptes de Mahomet. (?) on trouve dans ce livre des maximes qui ne seraient pas indignes des philosophes de l?Antiquité. Les idées que Mahomet nous donne de la divinité sont telles que la raison nous les dicte et le portrait qu?il en fait ne peut que nous inspirer du respect. À l?égard des règles que le prophètes des Turcs a laissé sur la conduite des hommes, elles approchent beaucoup de la vraisemblance ; j?oserais même presque assurer qu?elles sont capables de former des coeurs vertueux, si je n?étais pas persuadé que l?on ne le peut être sans le secours de la révélation chrétienne » (Préface de Quincy). L?égyptologue et orientaliste Claude Etienne Savary publiera en 1784 un recueil sous le même titre Morale de Mahomet un an après sa traduction du Coran en français, la plus importante depuis du Ryer.On trouve ce manuscrit décrit dans le Bulletin du Bibliophile (1836-1837, p. 163, n° 370) : « Morale de Mahomet, tirée de l?Alcoran, traduit de l?arabe. In-4, rel. Ms. avec une préface de 2 pages autog. de la main du marquis de Quincy ».
