One of only two works produced by the Arabic printing press established in Rome by Fran\u00e7ois Savary de Br\u00e8ves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This edition includes the Latin translation by two Lebanese scholars from the Maronite College, Victorio Scialac and Gabriele Sionita, of 151 psalms and 10 \u2018laudationes\u2019 drawn from the Old Testament, alongside the original Arabic text. The manuscript for this edition was brought back from Jerusalem by Savary de Br\u00e8ves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">A French diplomat and French ambassador to Constantinople (1591\u20131605) and then to Rome (1607\u20131614), Fran\u00e7ois Savary de Br\u00e8ves was one of the most famous Orientalists of his time. In Rome, he established the first French Oriental printing house, the <i>Typographia Savariana<\/i>: developing Arabic, Persian and Syriac typefaces in collaboration with the printer Stefano Paolini (who had previously worked for Raimondi), he designed and cast these elegant typefaces, which respect the calligraphic forms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">This Arabic-Latin psalter, together with Cardinal Bellarmine\u2019s <i>Doctrina christiana<\/i>, are the only two Christian works printed by Savary de Br\u00e8ves\u2019s Arabic printing house in Rome, with the aim of encouraging the conversion of Muslims; the first work was printed in an edition of 3,000 copies, the second in 500 or 600 copies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">&#8220;Gabriel Sionite et Victor Scialac expliquent dans leur pr\u00e9face pourquoi Br\u00e8ves a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une imprimerie arabe. Au cours des voyages qu&#8217;il a faits \u00e0 partir de Constantinople, il a pris conscience de la mis\u00e8re spirituelle des chr\u00e9tiens arabophones du Proche-Orient et une fois \u00e0 Rome, il a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une imprimerie pour leur fournir des livres chr\u00e9tiens en arabe, &#8220;expurg\u00e9s de leurs erreurs et de leurs fautes&#8221;. On ne s&#8217;\u00e9tonnera donc pas que les deux collaborateurs de Br\u00e8ves soient des Maronites et que la <i>Doctrina christiana <\/i>ait \u00e9t\u00e9 imprim\u00e9e &#8220;par ordre de Paul V&#8221; et qu&#8217;elle porte ses armes. Br\u00e8ves, ambassadeur \u00e0 Rome, nous appara\u00eet donc comme un imprimeur orientaliste, mais un orientaliste chr\u00e9tien et m\u00eame ultramontain, puisqu&#8217;il diffuse la doctrine chr\u00e9tienne romaine dans les Eglises d&#8217;Orient.&#8221; Ce livre, destin\u00e9 aux orientalistes chr\u00e9tiens en Europe, apparut vite comme un nouveau manuel de langue, pour ceux qui \u00e9tudiaient l&#8217;arabe de la Bible : &#8220;En 1632, un arabisant fran\u00e7ais, Jean-Baptiste Duval, publiera \u00e0 Paris un &#8220;Dictionarium latino-arabicum Davidis Regis&#8221;, c&#8217;est un index du Psautier pour pouvoir traduire du latin en arabe&#8221; (G\u00e9rald Duverdier, <i>Savary de Br\u00e8ves et Ibrahim M\u00fcteferrika : deux drogmans culturels \u00e0 l&#8217;origine de l&#8217;imprimerie turque<\/i>. Bulletin du Bibliophile, n\u00b0 3, p. 323-324, 1987).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Recalled to France, Br\u00e8ves transformed his \u2018<i>Typographia Savariana<\/i>\u2019 into the \u2018<i>Imprimerie des langues orientales arabique, turquesque, persique<\/i>\u2019: he printed a work in Turkish and an Arabic grammar, but was unable to bring to fruition his grand project of establishing an Oriental college in Paris. It is known that his knowledge of Oriental languages was such that he was even suspected of having embraced not only the sciences but also the Muslim religion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">His typefaces were acquired from his heirs by Antoine Vitr\u00e9, and were subsequently acquired by the Royal Library upon the publisher\u2019s death in 1674.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">A few stains, loose stitching, small hole on p. 103, slight water stains.
