Beschreibung

ii, 43 pp., untrimmed copy in contemporary wrappers, inscription of J. Bjorkegren (February 1842) on front paste down, light damp staining on first 2 leaves, scattered foxing. Lokman or Luqman is the most celebrated sage of the Eastern world. He is often confused with Aesop who lived about 500 years later. He is known as Luqman the Wise or Luqman al-Hakeem who was a wise man after whom Surah Luqman the thirty-first surah (chapter) of the Qur'an, was named. Luqman (c. 1100 BC) is believed to have been from the Arabian Peninsula. There are many stories about Luqman in Persian, Arabic and Turkish literature and the primary historical sources are the Tafsir ibn Kathir and Stories of the Qur'an by Ibn Kathir. Many European scholars translated Luqman?s words and introduced it to various European languages. Rare work, not in Schnurrer, Zenker or Roediger. #33549. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 014216
