  • Sobre la obra de arte
    Grammatica lingua Persicae accedunt dialogi, historiae, sententiae et narrationes Persicae.
    Vienna, Albert Camesina, 1804.
    4to.
    Slightly later purple half morocco, gold-tooled spine, marbled endpapers.

    First edition of a grammar of the Persian language, written by the Austrian orientalist Franz Lorenz von Dombay (1758-1810). In his preface, Dombay states that there existed several Persian grammars, but he thought none of them sufficient to learn the language. His grammar starts with the basics: the Persian letters, gradually including more words and continuing with the syntax and morphology of the language. For the words he first gives the Arabic word, then a transcription of the word in the Latin alphabet, followed by the Latin translation of the word. The last fifty pages contain sentences, dialogues and some Persian narratives.Binding rubbed along the extremities. Title-page foxed and some minor foxing throughout, lower corner of page 45 slightly damaged, not affecting text, and some occasional small spots. Overall a good copy.

  • Sobre el artista
    Franz Lorenz von Dombay (1758, Viena - 1810, Viena) estudió lenguas orientales, en particular árabe, en la Wiener Akademie. En 1783 se unió a una delegación del emperador José II a Marruecos, donde se dedicó intensamente a la literatura oriental. Posteriormente trabajó en la Embajada Imperial en Madrid. En 1802 fue nombrado intérprete en la Corte de Viena. Dombay produjo una gramática árabe, pero sobre todo es conocido por su Grammatica linguae Persicae (Gramática persa), Viena (1804). También escribió Geschichte der Scherifen oder der Könige des jetzt regierenden Hauses zu Marokko (1801; Historia de los sherifs o reyes de la ahora gobernante Casa de Marruecos).
