Item Details
Description
Arabic translation of the Holy Bible, Old and New Testament totalling 1404 pages, complete. Coeval leather binding, gold title to the spine.Printed after the Rome 1671 edition for the Eastern Church. One of the first modern translations into Arabic was at the initiative of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. Around 1846, the Society ordered this work from the Orientalist Samuel Lee (1783-1852). The Rev. Dr. Lee invited the Lebanese scholar Ahmad Faris Shidyaq to Cambridge to participate in the translation. The translation of the Bible was published in 1857, after Samuel Lee's death, by his student and friend Professor Thomas Jarrett. This translation is still considered one of the best Arabic translations of the Bible. Bibliography: Darlow & Moulé 1684.
