First edition of this rare comparative study of the natural and human geography of the Western Saudi coast, published by Darah and illustrated with numerous colour maps. We have traced only two copies in OCLC. The work sought to establish unified institutional research and scientific independence in the field of environmental studies, as well as to provide reference works in Arabic on ports and harbours in Saudi Arabia. It discusses the development and uses of natural harbours in pre-Islamic and Islamic times; geographical, historical, and economic factors in their development; their subdivision into historic, strategic, and economic harbours; as well as their uses past and present, the types of professional employment they have traditionally fostered, and the morphology of port cities. The illustrations include maps of ancient and modern harbours, and of the historical phases of urban development in Rabigh, Duba, al-Wajh, and al-Lith. Octavo. With 13 colour maps and plans, errata leaf tipped-in. Original pale blue printed wrappers. Minor wear to wrappers, contents slightly yellowed: a very good copy.…

First edition, first printing, of this genealogy of the House of Sa'ud from the dawn of time until the nineteenth century, accompanied by a striking colour family tree. We locate only three copies in collections worldwide. The author, Rashid ibn 'Ali al-Hanbali, was born in the village of Nu'man in Najd (in modern-day Saudi Arabia), in the early 19th century. Towards the end of his life, he lived in Istanbul, where he met 'Abd Allah Basha Al Sa'ud, who inspired him to compose the present work. Muthir al-wajd comprises very short biographical entries identifying the progenitors of the House of Sa'ud, extending back to Adam. The work is based on several sources, including the universal history of Abu l-Fida. This edition was made by 'Abd al-Wahid Muhammad Raghib, using a manuscript in the Taymuriyah collection in Cairo. Octavo. Text in Arabic. Large folding colour genealogical plan. Original printed wrappers, lettered in blue, wire-stitched as issued. Library sticker to front wrapper. Spine bumped with minor loss at foot, wrappers a little soiled, inner hinges stabilized, pages uniformly toned, map fine. A very good copy.…
