The tradition he set had a strong impact on German poetry of the 19th century and on the development of Oriental studies as a whole.<br><br>Of the total of almost 250 German translations of Classical Persian Literature around 170 can be found in this collection which has been put together by a private collector over a period of 25 years. Almost all important or rare works are represented in first editions.<br><br>This collection also comprises a number of works on Persian cultural history as well as on Turkish and Arabic literature - mostly as first editions. Thus the collection offers a deep insight into Oriental influences on German thought of the 19th and 20th centuries. This collection is offered in its intirety at 48,000.00 EUR (plus shipping and VAT - if applicable).<br><br>In case you know of anyone who might be interested in this unique collection, please feel free to forward this information!<br><br>*** Please ask for an electronic copy (PFD file) of the detailed catalogue of the collection.***<br><br>Looking forward to hearing from you.<br><br>Thank you and best regards from Berlin,<br><br>Kai Gerlach<br>General Manager<br><br>--<br>KAI-HENNING GERLACH - BOOKS & ONLINE<br>Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies<br><br>D-10711 Berlin, Germany<br>Heilbronner Straße 10<br>Telefon +49 30 3249441<br>Telefax +49 30 3235667<br>e-mail <a href="mailto:khg@gerlach-books.de">khg@gerlach-books.de</a><br><a href="http://www.gerlach-books.de/">www.gerlach-books.de</a><br><br>USt/VAT No. DE 185 061 373<br>Verkehrs-Nr. 24795 (BAG)<br>EAN 4330931247950<br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">End of Arabic-L: 18 Feb 2008</div></body></html>
