Copenhague Möller (et Paris : Costard) 1776 In-4° (262 x 211 mm) de XLIII - [3], 372 pp. - [1] f. d'errata et 25 ff. de pl. h.t. dont 10 dépl. et [1] f. tabl. dépl., veau havane marbré, dos à 5 nerfs orné, fleurons et motifs dorés, pièce de titre de maroquin rouge, double filet sur les coupes (reliure de l'époque)
Ouvrage d'une remarquable précision, notamment pour ses études relatives à l'écriture et la calligraphie arabe Rare remise en vente sous un nouveau titre de la Description de l'Arabie, d'après les observations et recherches faites dans le pays même, première édition française publiée en 1773, traduite par Ferdinand-Louis Mourier de l'originale allemande donnée par Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) en 1772. Elle est ornée de 25 planches (dont plusieurs tirées ici sur papier bleuté) représentant outils, vues (dont 1 dépl.), souliers, costumes, feuillet d'un Coran (2 pl. dépl. et colorées), inscriptions, monnaies, calligraphies, techniques et cartes (dont 7 pl. dépl., celle du Yemen avec contours colorés), gravées par Martin et Defehrt, d'après Baurenfeind pour les dessins d'après nature. Le comte de Bernstorff, ministre du roi du Danemark, convainquit Niebuhr d'entreprendre une excursion dans le but d'élargir les recherches sur l'« Arabie Heureuse », en envoyant une équipe de gens de lettres dans le pays. Le roi choisit pour l'expédition le professeur Frédéric-Chrétien de Haven, comme physicien, le professeur Forskal, comme mathématicien et botaniste, le docteur Cramer, instruit en médecine et en histoire naturelle, Carsten Niebuhr, comme ingénieur géographe et enfin Georg Wilhelm Baurenfeind, dessinateur et graveur. Johann-David Michaëlis fut chargé d'établir un Recueil de questions, dont la traduction en français fut publiée en 1753, destinées à être résolues par l'équipe lors du voyage. Tous les membres, excepté Niebuhr, moururent lors de l'expédition : De Haven et Forskal en Arabie, Baurenfeind dans le nord de l'Inde et Cramer à Bombay. L'ouvrage se scinde en deux parties : l'Arabie en générale puis ses provinces, à savoir principalement l'« Arabie Heureuse » actuel Yémen, avec in fine le désert du Sinaï et le golfe arabique. Cette nouvelle émission, rendant au explorateurs disparus leur place au titre de l'ouvrage, est fort rare. Nous n'avons pu en localiser que 2 ou 3 exemplaires. Il ne faut pas la confondre avec celle d'Amsterdam, même date, intitulée Voyage en Arabie et en d'autres pays circonvoisins qui est l'édition originale en 2 volumes de la relation de voyage de Niebuhr à proprement dite. Mors supérieur fendu, mors inférieur fendu en tête, coins frottés avec manque pour deux d'entre eux.

Remarquable ensemble, en belle reliure uniforme arabisante, réunissant les premières éditions en français des 2 ouvrages de Carsten Niebuhr dans lesquels il détaille la fameuse expédition danoise en Arabie (1761-1767) dont il sera le seul survivant, ses 5 autres compagnons, dont le naturaliste Peter Forsskal trouvant la mort pendant le long périple. Partie de Copenhague en janvier 1761, l'expédition passa par l'Egypte (Alexandrie et le Nil, Le Mont Sinaï...), Jeddah, Mocha (Niebuhr recueille le témoignage d'un hollandais rénégat sur ses pérégrinations au "Yémen"), Sanaa (les survivants y sont accueillis par al-Mahdi Abbas) poussa jusqu'à l'Inde et Bombay (où Niebuhr séjourna 14 mois). Seul survivant, Niebuhr s'en revint par Mascate, Persépolis (ses copies des inscriptions cunéiformes de Persépolis jouèrent un rôle fondamental dans leur déchiffrement), Bassorah, les ruines de Babylone, Bagdad, Mossoul, Alep, Chypre et la Palestine, le Mont Taurus et rejoignit Constantinople pour rejoindre le Danemark en novembre 1767. Bons exemplaires à grandes marges, reliés sur brochure, bien complet des 150 belles planches et cartes, souvent dépliantes (qq. rares petites mouill. ou traces de frott. dans le texte, petite fente à une carte, anciens ex-libris conservés d'un collège anglais avec cachets annulés) dans une belle reliure de style arabe. "Although Niebuhr explored not much more than a small triangle in Yemen, his work on Arabia was the first european attempt at a complete account of Arabia, its people and their way of life. He amassed a vast quantity of factual information, which he relates in a simple unrhetorical fashion, distinguishing clearly between things he observed personally and things learned from others" (The Library of Peter Hopkirk, 1010). Good copy with wide margins (some scarce rubbing or small waterstains, small slot on a map, old ex-libris from an english college witt its cancelled stamp) in a fine arabian style binding.

First edition of Niebuhr's great travel account of Arabia being a testament to one of the most significant and captivating exploratory journeys of the 18th century. Through meticulous mapping, cultural documentation, and scientific observations, Niebuhr's travelogue provided invaluable insights into Arabia, expanding geographic knowledge and influencing the field of Orientalism.Like his ""Beschribung von Arabien"", his ""Reisebeschreibung von Arabien"" ""provided a mass of new geographical, regional, and historical information... Among is many exact maps and plans, the map of the Red Sea and of Yemen served as the most reliable information for more than 50 years.""""Despite its tragic course, the expedition was a complete success with regard to its scientific and scholarly results. It was especially due to Niebuhr's efforts to preserve and continue his and his collegues' , that the Royal Danish Library was eventually equipped with a host of oriental manuscripts, maps, and drawings, as well as many botanical and zoological specimens... It was Niebuhr who edited and published Forskåll's Flora Aegyptiaco-Arabica (1775) and Descriptiones Animalium (1775), together with the drawings of Bauerfeind. In 1772 he had alredy published his systematic and geographically organized beschreibung von Arabien, which was followed between 1774 and 1778 by the first two volume of his three-volume chronologically arranged Reisebeschreibung nach Arabien. (the item offered, the third volume was published many years later, 1837). Both works, written in a clear and sober language and illustrated with numerous precise drawings, maps, and plans, provided a mass of new geographical, regional, and historical information... Among is many exact maps and plans, the map of the Red Sea and of Yemen served as the most reliable information for more than 50 years.""(Josef Wiesehöfer).

Premier volume seul de la première édition française. C'est en tant qu'astronome, cartographe et trésorier de l'expédition commanditée par le roi du Danemark que le jeune Allemand Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) découvrit ces contrées. Observateur précis et attentionné, doué de l'instinct du savant et d'une grande probité morale, il enregistrait les résultats de ses observations avec une conscience rigoureuse et un grand désir de représenter la réalité. Ses œuvres ont longtemps été des classiques de la géographie, l'Ethnologie, et l'archéologie de la plupart des lieux qu'il parcourut en Arabie. Le premier volume porte sur l’Egypte et le Yemen, pays inviolé appelé alors l'Arabie heureuse. Etat correct d’occasion
