PALESTINE, THE CREATION OF THE BRITISH MANDATE – Draft Mandates for Mesopotamia and Palestine As Submitted for the Approval of the League of Nations. [Cmd. 1176.] London: HMSO, 1921.

Rare drafts leading to the crucial 1922 Palestine Mandate, key documents in the region's history. In these draft documents, Palestine is defined as the area on both sides of the river Jordan, while in the later version, regions east of the river became Trans-Jordan; a major distinction for local communities and in the history of Jordan. The third item is principally a reply to Cardinal Gasparri, and discusses Article 14 of the mandate concerning the existing rights to Holy Places and religious buildings within Palestine. Only this last item is recorded by Khalidi & Khadduri (1537).
3 volumes, octavo (333 x 210mm [vol. 1] and 245 x 155mm). 10pp, 16pp, and 8pp. (faint wear to edges, the second work lightly soiled). Each in stapled self-wrappers (light rust marks near staples). Provenance: second item with ink initials of Sir Leon Simon (1881-1965; leading British Zionist, was influential with Weizmann in framing the Balfour Declaration).
