BRÜNNOW, Rudolf Ernst (1858-1917) and Alfred von DOMASZEWSKI. Die Provincia Arabia. Auf Grund zweier in den Jahren 1897 und 1898 unternommenen Reisen und der Berichte früherer Reisender. Unter Mitwirkung von Julius Euting. Strassburg: Karl J. Trübner, 1904-1909.
3 volumes, 4° (320 x 246mm). Heliogravure frontispiece, 53 numbered plates and maps on a larger number of leaves, some folding or double-page, a few coloured, 2 large folding maps on four leaves, over 1100 half tone illustrations, many full-page. Publisher's original half vellum and green boards (upper joints of vol. III slightly split). Provenance: Bangor Theological Seminary (bookplate, accession number on title versos, card pocket at rear).
A REMARKABLY WELL-ILLUSTRATED ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY of sites in Syria, Jordan and Lebanon, particularly valued for its account of Petra and of the palace of Mshatta in Jordan, a great monument of early Islamic art. The outstanding feature of the Mshatta palace was the intricately carved decoration on its facade. Today the complete facade, built in the mid-eighth century, exists only in Brünnow's photographs (see vol. II). A GOOD, CLEAN COPY. (3)
