Lot 2802
Burton, Captain Sir R.F., translator. The Kasidah of Haji Abdu El-Yezdi, an early manuscript transcription, 60pp., contemporary cloth, bevelled boards blocked with title on upper cover, spine chipped, 4to, [c.1890s]
The first appearance of this text was in 1880 when it was published by Bernard Quaritch in a small edition for the use of 'Burton and his friends' (Penzer p.98). It seems likely this manuscript is a very early transcription by an unknown hand, prompted by the scarcity of the published work.
