A good example, complete with all the plates, of this rare research work on the history of ancient languages with Hebrew, Ethopian, Mongolian, Chinese, Iranian and Egyptian examples, among others. The work comprises researches, translations and original ancient texts, including the 15th-century texts from the Moscow Synodal library. The work is illustrated with very informative tables comparing characters of different ancient languages and chromoliothographed facsimiles of the pages from ancient books and manuscripts.

Our example is from the library of Nikolay Ulyaninskiy (1872–1937), famous bibliographer whose collection later acquired by The Rumiantsev library (today Russian State Library).

Folio (45 x 32 cm). 58, [2] pp., including lith. title, with 10 lith. tables and 20 chromolithographed plates; some plates' margins trimmed unevenly, corner of the last plate repaired. Modern green half morocco, spine preserving the original label.

Provenance

Provenance: Nikolay Yurievich Ulyaninskiy (exlibris to upper pastedown).
