An Islamic Civilisation LibraryBy

Datuk Dr. Syed Ali Tawfik al-Attas*

The Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM) purchased an Islamic Civilisation Library in 2008. This distinguished library

of rare and important books on the Islamic civilisation (art, architecture, decorative arts, calligraphy, manuscript studies, and other subjects) including catalogues, academic studies, monographs and an exceptionally important group of rare books from the 17th to 19th centuries C.E., provides an important source for the scholar and collector of Muslim, or Islamic arts. The mixture of scholarly reference and bibliographical rarities, collected over a period of many years by an important British collector, ensures the importance of the collection. The works present Western scholarship and attitudes to the arts of the Islamic world, and their development from the 17th century to the present day.

It is often overlooked that the Muslim world stretches from Western China to the Atlantic and from north of the Caspian Sea to Central Africa. Whilst this library necessarily concentrates on the Muslim heartland of the Arabian Peninsula, Turkey and Persia, it also contains much about the Indian Sub-Continent, the Malay archipelago, Indonesia in particular, and Muslim Northern Africa and Spain. In addition, it contains works on other Muslim peoples such as the Uighurs, the nomads of Central Asia, and the Islamic cultures of sub-Saharan Africa.

* This writing was contributed by Datuk Dr. Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas former Director-General of IKIM who initiated the acquisition of an Islamic Civilization Library at IKIM.

The foregoing collection comprises rare, scholarly and antiquarian books, many of which have come from the libraries of distinguished previous owners, both scholars and collectors. In general, the books themselves are the finest copies possible, in the best editions and cover all aspects of the arts, from architecture to decorative arts. The breadth of the collection is exemplified by the presence of many of the lesser known works on arms and armour, textiles, ceramics, metal work, glass works and the decorative features which give the Muslim arts their distinctive character.

After the initial Renaissance discovery of Arab science and medicine, and the tremendous impact these early translations from Arabic manuscripts had on the development of Western thought in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, European scholars began to study Islamic manuscripts in a systematic way. Louis XIV of France commissioned the Dictionnaire Orientale from the French scholar Herbelot de Molainville which was published in 1697 and is the earliest work in the collection. It represents the first attempt to categorise all aspects of the Islamic world. A Supplement to this work was published some 80 years later in 1780. One needs only to glance at the title page to understand the attempt at comprehensiveness this work entailed. The aforementioned work is followed by the first systematic catalogue of a European collection of Islamic manuscripts, Assemani’s monumental 4-volume catalogue Bibliotheca Orientalis Clementino-Vaticana in qua Manuscriptos Syriacos, Arabicos, Persicos, Turcicos, etc, the catalogue of the collections of the Vatican, published in Rome, 1719-1728.

layout 1.indd 8 6/23/11 8:58:19 AM

It, in turn, is followed by the extremely rare work by Micheal Casiri, Bibliotheca Arabico-Hispana Escurialensis, which IKIM has acquired in an exceptionally beautiful copy. Micheal Casiri (known in the Muslim world as al-Ghaziri), a Maronite scholar, went to Spain in 1747 where he was recommended to the King, Ferdinand VI, to act as a scholar of all things Arab (or an Arabist) at the royal library, Escorial, which contained a large collection of Arabic manuscripts, many dating from the period of Islamic dominion in Spain. In this monumental catalogue, Casiri provides detailed descriptions of 1, 851 books and manuscripts, which are listed by subject and size. Titles are given in both Latin and Arabic. An author and title index in alphabetical order is included at the end of the second volume.

Another important manuscript catalogue, one may even say it is exceptionally rare, is the catalogue by Charles Stewart on the Islamic manuscript collections in Mysore belonging to Tippoo Sultan, 1809. Also in this regard, one must make mention of Castiglione’s rare work on Kufic coins in the Milan museum.

The first detailed scientific and artistic studies of the East were undertaken by the French academicians who accompanied Napoleon’s armies in Egypt. The resultant establishment of the first Arabic-language printing press in the Arabic-speaking world and the measurement and delineation of the monuments of that country fuelled a fascination with the Muslim world that overcame the traditional antipathy established during the time of the Crusades. Napoleon’s Description de l’Egypte, although mainly concerned with Ancient Egypt, aroused an interest in that country

layout 1.indd 9 6/23/11 8:58:22 AM


10

that led directly to many of the contemporary examinations of Islamic monuments, especially those of Muslim Spain.

The French studies of the nineteenth century, undertaken by such scholars as Coste, Prisse d’Avennes, and Girault de Prangey were the immediate forerunners of the schools of German and Russian scholarship that began to flourish in the early years of the 20th century. The architect Coste was chosen in 1839 to accompany the painter Eugéne Flandin and the Comte de Sercey to Persia as part of a royal embassy. That journey provided the information for his work, which cemented Coste’s reputation as an expert on Islamic ornament and architecture. Émile Prisse d’Avennes, an Orientalist and Muslim convert obsessive in his attention to detail, was perhaps the greatest pre-20th century Egyptologist after Champollion. His interests were not, however, limited to Egyptology alone and he produced his 3-volume work L’art arabe d’aprés les monuments du Kaire depuis le VIIe siècle jusqu’á la fin du XVIIIe, Paris, 1877, the most important and beautiful 19th-century work on the Islamic monuments of Egypt. Like Coste, Prisse d’Avennes worked for the Viceroy Muhammad Ali, although he subsequently quarrelled with him and returned to France in 1860 with some 300 folio drawings, 400 metres of bas-reliefs, 150 photographs of important architectural details, 150 sketches, daguerreotypes, and numerous plans, details and elevations copied on the spot. Until his death in 1877, this wealth of material was to occupy him completely as the thought to organise it for publication. Teams of artists, trained specifically for that purpose, attested to the “constant and jealous” attention lavished on his work, the result of which was the foregoing majestic and important book.

layout 1.indd 10 6/23/11 8:58:25 AM


11

Many of the examples reproduced have since disappeared, so the importance of the aforementioned book cannot be underestimated. Girault de Prangey’s work is a beautiful collection of original lithographs of the most famous sites of Moorish architecture, Granada, the Palace of the Alhambra, the ruins of the Vermillion Towers and the glories of Seville. His lithographs vary from grand panoramic views to intricate drawings of architectural details involving the most famous lithographers of the period, namely Bichebois, Chapuis, Danjoy, Hubert, Monthelier, Sabatier and Villeneuve. Coste’s work is supplemented by the extraordinarily rare and beautiful work by Texier entitled Description de l’Arménie, la Perse, et la Mésopotamie published in Paris in 1842.

The great works of the 1800s were beautifully produced an observed. J. Murphy in the early years of the aforementioned century produced and exceptional work on the Palace of the Alhambra (The Arabian Antiquities of Spain, London 1813-1815). Murphy, who began his working life as a bricklayer, went on to become one of the architects consulted over additions to the House of Commons. He journeyed to Cadiz in 1802 and the aforementioned work is the result of his studies. It is notable for his accomplished drawings of the Moorish architecture of Cordoba and the Alhambra. The completion of the work was actually superintended by Horne, since Murphy died in 1814 before the final publication. Owen Jone’s study (Plans, Elevations, Sections & Details of the Alhambra from Drawings Taken on the Spot in 1834 by the late M. Jules Goury and in 1834 and 1837 by Owen Jones, London 1842-1845) remains a superb testament both to his own and Jules Goury’s efforts; indeed, Jones established his own chromolithographic press at Adelphi

layout 1.indd 11 6/23/11 8:58:29 AM


12

to complete the work. The earliest chromolithograph is dated March 1st 1836 and he continued to produce plates until the book was completed in 1845. The work is available at IKIM in an exceptionally rare large paper subscribers’ copy.

This proliferation of interest and the development of the study of Muslim civilisation throughout the century, lead to the great scholarly work by van Berchem et al., Matériaux pour un Corpus Inscriptionum Arabicarum, begun in 1894 and continuing to this day. French scholars at the end of the 19th century to be mentioned for their exceptional works are Bourgoin, Le Bon, and De Vogue, the latter with the first work devoted to the Muslim Architecture of Syria. Maria de Launay’s extraordinary work L’Architecture Ottomane published in Istanbul (Constantinople) in 1873 together with Parvillées work on 15th century Ottoman architecture and decoration, Paris 1874 deserve particular mention as does the uniquely innovative typographic edition by P. de Courteille of the Uighur version of Rashid al-Din’s Tezkereh-i-evlia, Paris 1889-1890. The latter work is presently available at IKIM in a copy containing an additional presentation leaf to the three envoys of His Majesty the Emperor of Morocco. Lord Edgerton of Tatton’s A Description of Indian and Oriental Armour, London 1896, is a small but exceptionally rare and very hard to find work. Finally, for the 19th century, the superlative first survey of gilt and enamelled Islamic glass by G. Schmoranz; Simakoff’s first work on the arts of Central Asia; and A. von Scala’s monumental works on Islamic carpets and Islamic metalwork are worthy of mention.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, scholarship surrounding the Islamic civilisation flourished and is represented here in this collection with a wealth of important, valuable and rare works, fuelled in no small part by the great exhibitions of Islamic art taking place in London (Burlington Fine Arts Club: Exhibition of the Faience of Persia & the Near East, 1907), Munich (the monumental Ausstellung von Meisterwerken muhammedanischer Kunst, 3 vols., 1910), the 2-volume catalogue Miniatures Persanes of the exhibition in Paris at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in 1912 published in only 150 copies, the L’Exposition Persane de 1931 held in Cairo in 1931, and the Burlington House exhibition, London, 1931 of Persian Miniature Painting. Catalogues of the great private collections such as Spitzer, Pozzi, Godman, Kelikian, Parish-Watson, are also available at IKIM’s library, as is a complete set of the privately printed catalogues (limited to 100 copies for distribution to his friends only) of the collection of Sadruddin Aga Khan.

Among the many truly rare and valuable works of 20th century scholarship are the works by Yacoub Artin Pacha, Bogolubow, Cohn-Wiener, the astonishing work on the Gour-Emir mosque in Samarkand by the Imperial Archaelogical Commission of St. Petersburg, Creswell, the important travel account by the French collector Henri d’Allemagne in 4 volumes, Gabriel, Gluck, Gurlitt, Hautecoeur, Holstein, the legendarily rare first comprehensive work on medieval Islamic glass by the Swedish historian C. Lamm, of which a copy signed by the author is available in IKIM’s library, Martin’s historic work on Oriental carpets, and the same author’s work on Islamic miniature painters, Moser’s immense and beautiful work on Oriental arms and armour, Musil’s important excavation

of the fort of ‘Qusayr Amra’ 53 miles east of Amman, Orbelli and Trever’s first study of Sassanian metalwork, Pezard, the three works by Raymond, Riviére’s monumental work on Islamic ceramics, Sakisian, the works by the great Friedrich Sarre, Schulz, Smirnov’s first study of Islamic silver, St. Petersburg 1909, Wiet, are all worthy of mention and deserve special attention.

4. Prisse d’Avennes. L’ art Arabe d’aprés les Monuments du Kaire depuis le Vlle siècle jusquá la fin du XVIIIe. 1877 Paris. 3 volumes. (and 1 text). pp. vii, 296, 200 plates, 130 in colour, 48 tinted, 34 plates, 73 text illustrations Emile Prisse d’Avennes. Orientalist and Muslim convert, obsessive in his attention to detail, was after Champollion the greatest pre-20th century Egyptologist. His interests were not, however, limited to Egyptology and he produced work, one of the most important books

on the Islamic monuments of Egypt. A French nobleman by birth, though impoverished, Prisse d’Avennes seems to have spent his life in the pursuit of the exotic. After a period fighting for Greek independence, Prisse d’Avennes travelled to India, a journey that prefigured his extensive Middle Eastern travels,

which during the next 40 years took him to Palestine, Syria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia and most importantly Egypt and Algeria where he lived. Like Coste, Prisse d’Avennes worked for the Viceroy Mohammed Ali, though he quarrelled with Mohammed Ali subsequently and left his service. In 1860, Prisse d’Avennes returned to France with the fruits of his travels: 300

folio drawings, 400 metres of bas-reliefs, 150 photographs of important architectural details, 150 sketches and daguerreotypes and numerous plans, details and elevations copied on the scene; he also returned with 29 skulls from ancient mummies to each of which he had succeeded in ascribing a date, name and function. Until his death in 1877, this wealth of material was to occupy him completely as he sought to organise it for publication. Teams of artists, trained specifically for the purpose, attested to the ‘constant and jealous attention’ he lavished on his work, the result of which is this majestic and important book. Many of the examples produced have since disappeared, so the importance of the book, which postdates the Description de l’Egypte by 6 decades and can be seen in some ways as a commentary upon it, can not be underestimated.

6. Murphy, J. The Arabian Antiquities of Spain (No. 460 page 43) 1813-15 London. pp.(vi), 21, 103 plates. Murphy, who began his working life as a bricklayer, went on to become one of the architects consulted over additions to the House of Commons. He journeyed to Cadiz in 1802 and this work is the result of his studies.

It is notable for his accomplished drawings of the Moorish architecture at Cordova and the Alhambra. The completion of the work was actually superintended by Home, since Murphy died in 1814 before the final publication. ‘The interesting but imperfect descriptions of the remains of Arabian Art, exhibited in the volumes of some modern travellers, as existing in the once renowned Mohammedan cities of Granada, Cordova and Seville, excited in the author an ardent desire to visit them. He accordingly embarked for Spain, and arrived at Cadiz early in May, in the year 1802; whence he proceeded to Granada through lower Andalucia. The Governor of the Alhambra, desirous that the knowledge of its

layout 1.indd 20 6/23/11 8:59:28 AM


21

splendid architectural remains should be accurately transmitted to posterity, obligingly facilitated the author’s access to that royal palace, at all hours of the day; while he was employed in the agreeable task of measuring and delineating its interior works. Equal facilities were offered at Cordova. The remains for whose celebrated Mosque and Bridge were delineated in the former part of the present volume. Seven years were unremittingly devoted to these delightful pursuits; and since the author’s return to England in 1809, nearly seven years more have been wholly given to preparing for publication the present work. The admirers of the Arts are here presented with the result of fourteen years continued labour, executed at an expense of many thousands of pounds: in the hope that, by the union of the graphic art with the descriptions of the engravings annexed, such facilities will be afforded, as shall enable the reader to form an accurate estimate of the very high state of excellence, to which the Spanish Arabs attained in the Fine Arts, while the rest of Europe was overwhelmed with ignorance and barabarism.’

Arabs to the expulsion of the Moors, by M. Pasqual de Gayanos.

1842-45 London. 2 volumes. Vol. 1 chromolithograph tail piece. Of the 104 plates, 70 are chromolithographs. Large paper subscriber’s edition. During his Grand Tour, which include Constantinople and Cairo, Jones became fascinated with Islamic buildings. Later, he visited the Alhambra in the company of the young French architect, Jules Goury, and they resolved to publish an exhaustive document of the building and its decorations. Unfortunately Goury died during a cholera epidemic on 28th August 1834 and Jones had to complete the immense task of publication on his own. With the help of Day and Hague, Jones set up his own chromolithographic press at the Adelphi. The earliest
