Description: A gorgeous, rare reprinting of George Sale's translation of the Holy Koran, notable for its direct translation from Arabic to English in 1734. These volumes have all the hallmarks of early 19th century English bookbinding and printing, which still retains 18th century printing practices (such as "catch words") but also has edge marbling which became more ubiquitous and popular in the 19th century. This printing also has 3 beautiful foldouts of maps and lineages (see photos) George Sale (1697–1736) was a British Orientalist scholar and practicing solicitor, best known for his 1734 translation of the Quran into English. In 1748, after having read Sale's translation,[1] Voltaire wrote his own essay "De l'Alcoran et de Mahomet" ("On the Quran and on Mohammed") (Wikipedia).
