I am an antiquarian bookseller working with printing and manuscripts from the Muslim world, defined as broadly and inclusively as possible, from Granada to Singapore.
I buy and sell material of this sort. I prefer the rare and the unusual, whether that be a quirky manuscript Qur’an copied at Istanbul in the 16th century or an otherwise unknown example of 19th-century lithography. The provincial is often of as much interest to me as the princely, provided there is a compelling story. My focus is on books and manuscripts, but I have worked with visual material, including prints, drawings, watercolours, and photographs, and am always happy to consider objects which relate to my interests.
I issue occasional lists and catalogues, which tend towards the short. You can find past examples on my website. My professional experience ranges from individual objects to collections containing thousands of items, though my own stock is small. As a result, I do not list my books online and a certain amount of what I handle does not make it to a list. I am always happy to discuss any specific interests you might have and explore areas new to me. If any of this strikes a chord or you would like to receive my lists in future, please do drop me a line.
