First edition. Quarto. 308 pages. Six-page Introduction ("Documents Épigraphiques recueillis dans le Nord de l'Arabie par M. Charles Doughty") by Ernest Renan. Original blue wrappers, printed label on spine.Contains "Note de. M. Doughty sur son Voyage" which despite the French title is in English (29 pages); also "Transcription et Traduction des Inscriptions Nabatéennes de Medaïn-Salih (in French and Hebrew) (18 pages), "Transcription des Notes contenues dans les Planches" (in English) (9 pages). 57 plates, these being facsimiles of notes and drawings of rubbings which Doughty made from carved rock inscriptions, maps and drawings, 9 folding photogravures of inscriptions. The reason this was published in France was that Doughty had tried without success to sell the Nabatean inscriptions he had collected to the British Museum and the Royal Geographical Society. Meanwhile the French philologist Ernest Renan was in the process of preparing a work on Semitic inscriptions for the Academie des Inscriptions and offered Doughty the opportunity of publication. Renan later deciphered these, using Doughty's transcriptions. A number of the plates in this book, which are of superb quality, were used for later editions of Arabia Deserta. The rest of the volume is devoted to E. Amélineau's "Notice sur le Papyrus Gnostique Bruce".Wrappers chipped and torn at edges. Spine cracked and discoloured. Apart from minor water-staining to the lower margins of four maps, internally a bright and clean copy. Very good. Very scarce.
