London:: Printed and Sold at No. 76, Fleet-Street, 1774., 1774. 4to. [iv], xv, [1], 68 pp. Original full calf, gilt spine; neatly rebacked to style, preserving original endsheets. Inscribed by an early owner, "This Book belonging to Monsieur [Pierre?] Monneron." Extremely rare. This is the first edition in English of the ghazals of Hafez, translated by one of the leading Persian orientalists of his day, John Richardson, FAS of Wadham College, Oxford, and famous for his seminal work written in conjunction with Sir William Jones, the work being, A Dictionary, Persian, Arabic, and English, 1777. / Hafez was previously unknown to the western world until Count Karl Emerich Reviczky von Revisnye (1737-1793), the Hungarian Orientalist and bibliophile, 'discovered' him and brought his poetic classic to Europe with this Vienna printing. The work features an extensive text on Hafez and a translation of selected ghazals . Reviczky von Revisnye also issued in 1784, 1794 a catalogue of his Greek and Latin library, using the pseudonym of "Periergus Deltophilus". In the prefatory essay for that volume he shows an interest in the printing of Nicolas Jenson, Aldus Manutius, and the Estiennes. / Hafez was born in Shiraz, Persia and lived approximately from 1325/26–1389/1390. He is considered a mystic and poet. His life and poems are the subject of much analysis, commentary and interpretation, influencing post-fourteenth century Persian writing more than any other author. FULL TITLE: A Specimen of Persian Poetry; or Odes of Hafez, With an English Translation and Paraphrase. Chiefly from the Specimen Poeseos Persicae of Baron Revizky, Envoy from the Emperor of Germany to the Court of Poland. With Historical and Grammatical Illustrations, and a complete Analysis, for the assistance of those who wish to study the Persian language.

New York:::: MacMillan,,,, 1954... First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Good Plus copy in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with two short closed edge tears, and some light edge wear. This is essentially the British edition with the black cloth binding, British sheets with the Macmillan titlepage cancel added and jacket with the price in pounds and the UK publisher Blackwell on the spine. These letters are, in the main, a record of three lives coming to first flower in the decade before 1914; and it must be said at once that they add little that is new to our direct knowledge of T. E. Lawrence's share in the Arab Revolt, of the writing of The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, or of his later years as an Aircraftman in the R.A.F. But if we ask what manner of young man made the Arabian adventure, here is perhaps the fullest answer likely now to be given. Here we see T. E. Lawrence still unstrained, eager and impish; passionately discovering new horizons of knowledge and beauty ; pouring out the…
