2714 KORAN MUJEED. A most magnificent and valuable Arabic MS. stout fol. 385 leaves, measuring 15 inches by 93, most beautifully written in Ornamental, Black, Coloured, and Gold Arabic Letters, on the finest Khan Baligh paper, in Iranee characters; the top, middle, and bottom lines of each page are in gold and blue letters, the title pages and headings of each Soorah very richly illuminated in gold and colours; a few Prayers, finely illuminated, are added; on the back leaves are the SEALS OF MOHAMED SHAH, PADSHAH, OR KING OF Delhi; MEER GHOLAM ALI KHAN TALPORE, KING OF SCINDE: and inferior Princes to whom this book formerly belonged; bound in the native Persian style, £60. This wonderful MS. was purchased at the sale of the confiscated Property of the late RUNJEET SINGH, and is of undoubted Antiquity. As the art of writing and ornamenting Oriental works has been much on the decline since this Koran was prepared, its value is much increased, and it could not be replaced. Each leaf is paged, but the no. 202 is accidentally omitted. Arabic Manuscripts executed by Persian Artists are preferred to all others, as it is in Persia only where Oriental Penmanship was carried on as an Art, and where the writers of MSS. ranked equal with the great Courtiers. Any Nobleman or Gentleman desirous of a really fine specimen of Persian Art should secure this volume.

2715 EVANGELIA IV., ARMENICE, Manuscript on paper, 18mo. beautifully written, with DRAWINGS of the Evangelists, and numerous ORNAMENTS, executed in gold and colours, £21. Sæc. XVI.

This beautiful Gem is covered with a rich cinque-cento binding of gilt silver, elaborately carved, having on the obverse side of the covers a representation of the Crucifixion, with the Heads of the Four Evangelists as corners; and on the reverse the Resurrection with the devices of the Evangelists as corners. The whole exhibits an exquisite specimen of Byzantine Art. It is enclosed in a silk bag, on which the Crucifix and other ornaments are worked in silver face.

2716 CHINESE MYTHOLOGY. Fifty splendid large and well executed Native Drawings, illustrating the Mythology of the Chinese, in brilliant colouring, each representation on Chinese paper, very nicely laid down on drawing paper of the first quality, ruled round with red and black, four lines, title in Manuscript by C. Proctor, impl. folio, meas. 20 inches by 15, green morocco extra, leather joints inside, double bands, by Staggemier, £12. 12s

English names are placed on many of the subjects. The destruction of works of Art has been so great lately in China, that it would be extremely difficult to obtain now, even at a high price, such a set of mythological Drawings. 2716* CHINESE COSTUME. A volume, atlas folio, containing 32 large and beautiful Drawings, of Male and Female Figures, in the richest costumes, brilliantly coloured and executed in the most delicate and elaborate style of Chinese Art, olive morocco, gold borders, Chinese silk sides, gilt edges, £15. Sæc. XIX.

2717 CHINESE DRAWINGS. A volume, containing 72 Native Drawings (11 inches by 13), IN BRILLIANT COLOURS, GOLD AND SILVER, exhibiting the various Trades, Manufactures, Employments, Amusements, Sports and ordinary Occupations of the Celestial Empire, prefaced by a well written title by C. Proctor, the whole series very neatly edged and mounted, square fol. (size 12 in. by 14), purple morocco extra, double bands, £12.

This is really a beautiful specimen of Chinese Art; probably not surpassed by any similar collection of Drawings in England. The learned Sinologue Dr. Lockhart has assured me, that it would be extremely difficult to find in China now such an elaborately executed set of Drawings.

2718 CHINESE DRAWINGS: ENTOMOLOGY. 28 Drawings beautifully executed in colours, comprising 50 figures of BUTTERFLIES and other INSECTS, with their CATERPILLARS and the PLANTS on which they feed, also 8 Drawings of SILKWORMS in their several stages; all finished with the most scrupulous fidelity to nature, and at the same time with an attention to Art and colour, so wonderful as almost to deceive the eye into the belief of the actual existence of the figures depicted, hf. green morocco, £7.
