This exceptional two-volume set presents the first edition of Exposé de la Religion des Druzes (Exposition of the Druze Religion) by Antoine Isaac Silvestre de Sacy, a landmark work in the study of the Druze faith. Published in Paris in 1838 by l'Imprimerie royale, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the early history, doctrines, and practices of the Druze community in Lebanon.
Silvestre de Sacy (1758-1838), a renowned French orientalist and scholar, meticulously compiled this work, drawing on extensive research and his deep understanding of Arabic language and culture. This book remains a cornerstone in Druze studies, providing valuable historical context and detailed analysis of the faith's origins and beliefs.
This particular copy carries the provenance of having belonged to the esteemed Joseph Aslan Cattaui Pasha (1862-1942), a prominent Egyptian businessman, politician, and leader of the Jewish community in Cairo. His ex libris and the stamp of the Parisian bookseller Jean Maisonneuve & Fils add further historical significance to this already valuable set.
Imagine owning this rare and significant work, its pages filled with the insights of a pioneering scholar and bearing the mark of a prominent historical figure. This book is a treasure for collectors, scholars, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the Druze community and the broader Middle East.
