Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates Sitti Maani Gioerida, a 17th-century woman of extraordinary intellect and piety. Born into a noble Chaldean family in Mesopotamia, Maani's life unfolded against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire's decline and the rise of European colonial powers. Despite the challenges of her time, Maani's unwavering faith and commitment to education and charity left an enduring legacy. The book captures Maani's remarkable journey, exploring the social, political, and religious milieu she navigated. It sheds light on the experiences and contributions of women in a period of significant historical transformation, highlighting Maani's role as a patron of the arts, a champion for the marginalized, and a symbol of intercultural exchange. Through a rich tapestry of historical accounts and lyrical tributes, this book offers a compelling portrait of a woman who transcended her era and whose influence continues to resonate today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Etched printer's device to t-p of first, woodcut printer's device to rear, etched arms of della Valle quartered with calligraphic Syriac sigils of Sitti Maani to t-p of second, one further etching of her Syriac sigil bordered with calligraphic Arabic, extra-illustrated with c.1800 pencil drawing of Shah Abbas, C17 engraved portrait of Maani in Syrian dress, and c.1750 rare engraving of her catafalque by Gérard Jean-Baptiste Scotin. Woodcut initials, woodcut and typographical head- and tailpieces. Tiny wormhole to blank gutter margin at foot from O3r of first. Some light offsetting, spotting and wrinkling from pasted engravings, intermittent light marginal foxing and light age-toning, good copies in C18 vellum over boards, gilt morocco labels to spine, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, silk placemarker, armorial bookplate of Andrew Caldwell (1733-1808) tipped onto verso of t-p of first, ms. note to fly. Sammelband, extra-illustrated C18 prints and original drawing, of two rare works in Italian, both first editions, the first containing the Italian traveller Pierro della Valle's (1586-1652) description of the court of Shah Abbas of Persia, the greatest ruler of the Iranian Safavid Dynasty, the second an account of the funeral of della Valle's Persian wife Sitti Maani, from Mardin in modern-day Turkey, with etchings of her arms and calligraphic sigil. The account of Shah Abbas's court is the only description of della Valle's travels to be published in his lifetime. An edition of the first appeared simultaneously in Rome, priority not established. The account of Shah Abbas's court begins with the conflicts of language and etiquette experienced by Georgian, Russian, Turkish and Portuguese visitors to the court, descriptions of courtesans, the Shah's menagerie, etc. Della Valle, who in general is extremely praiseworthy of Abbas and defends him from accusations of tyranny, describes his temperance and good rule, his adherence to Islamic law, including abstaining from alcohol and fasting during Ramadan, and tolerance of Christian communities. However, della Valle does not entirely shy away from the more tyrannical aspects of Abbas's reign: the persecution of Jews and occasionally Armenian and Syrian Christians, and the extreme cruelty that Abbas displayed in punishing criminals. Della Valle reports disembowelment, removing of livers, blinding, cutting off feet and hands, castration, and people being fed to ferocious dogs. At the end is a genealogy of Abbas stretching back to Adam and the biblical patriarchs, with the prophet Muhammad appearing at number 13. Della Valle was an Italian composer who travelled extensively in the Middle East and Holy Land, Northern Africa and India, returning to Rome with valuable manuscripts and artefacts, as well as the mummified corpse of his Mesopotamian wife. In 1616 della Valle had travelled to Baghdad, crossing the Mesopotamian plain from Aleppo, in order to marry the Syrian Christian Sitti Maani Gioerida (Ma'ani Juwayri), daughter of a Catholic Nestorian father and Armenian mother; the engraved portrait at the front of the second work shows Maani in Syrian dress and was supposedly based on the painting, since lost, that had induced della Valle to marry her. Della Valle and his wife travelled together to the court of Shah Abbas of Persia, where he was a popular guest, this experience forming the basis for the first work. In 1621 he was considering returning to India, but while at the coast awaiting transport Maani died. Della Valle carried his wife's mummified body in a lead-lined box for five years, including to India, before he was able to return to Rome in 1626, and the following year Maani was interred in the family tomb at Santa Maria in Ara Coeli as part of an elaborately staged funeral.…
