Orientalist tale of Arabia and a Caliph who renounces Islam. Originally published in French and in English anonymously in 1786, here in a printed verbatim from the first edition, with the original prefaces and notes by Henley. Note that the titlepage is a rubricated, tissue-guarded facsimile (of an earlier book appearance) that misleadingly shows facsimile date of 1868.
Spine slightly discoloured, Front hinge cracked. Otherwise a good copy.
