About This Item
Madrid, 1787. . First edition; 3 volumes, folio; printed in Latin, Spanish and Arabic, half-titles, engraved vignettes (opening the text) and errata leaves present in each volume, contemporary Greek ink inscriptions to front free endpapers of each volume, some very small marginal wormholes and occasional light soiling, overall very bright and attractive condition; contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt in compartments within raised bands, red and green morocco labels to spine with lettering in gilt, lightly rubbed and scuffed at extremities.
A Spanish orientalist, Francisco Canes (1720-1795) spent sixteen years devoted to the study of oriental languages in Damascus, where he was sent by the Franciscan order. On his return to Spain he studied at the Royal Academy of History. This dictionary focuses on colloquial rather than classical Arabic and was apparently intended for the use of missionaries in Africa and the Middle East.
