Contemporary full chocolate morocco by Townsend, sides ruled in blind and gilt, spine with raised bands and gilt-rule compartments, red morocco label lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers and edges. Lightly scuffed along extremities, contents clean and unmarked, generally a very good copy. George Sale (1697 1736) was a British Orientalist and lawyer who first published his edition of the Qur'an 1734; it was the first edition of the Qur'an to have been translated into English directly from Arabic, becoming a landmark text in Qur'anic studies. Due to its vast popularity, it remained in print well into the first half of the 20th century with over 120 editions available.
