Very good in half morocco and marbled paper-covered boards. Spine in six compartments with gilt titles. Wear to bottom edges; old paper shelf label on spines, and stamp of an Arabic or Persian library on title pages. Minor foxing to pages, but generally clean and bright. [JSP02]

Two copies of what were apparently proofs for the second edition, typeset from the first with a new introduction for this edition. Both copies are hardbound and extensively corrected in ink. The corrections in the two copies are often the same, but one has many more corrections to the Arabic text than the other.

Each copy is presented to the author by the publisher on the title page. At first glance, these seem to be copies of the second edition marked up for a third (there was a 1939 printing, which is quite uncommon). However, one of the corrections marked in this copy is to the title and that change was incorporated into the second edition, suggesting these copies were used for the second edition and not a third.
