Standard work of reference

Marigny, [François Augier], Abbé de. Histoire des Arabes sous le gouvernement des Califes.

€ 1.500,00

First edition of this history of Arabia, at its time a standard work of reference, covering the years 629 through 1288 AD. German and English translations followed within a few years of publication (the German version was prepared by none other than the great playwright of Enlightenment, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing).

Rubbed and bumped at extremeties; occasional light browning and insignificant wrinkling to a few pages. A good copy.
