Notes

A scarce Arabic phrasebook and guide by Gabriel Sacroug (d.1895), who served as interpreter at the British Consulates in Cairo, Jeddah and Costantinople. Sacroug's book is in large part an unacknowledged piracy of E. Nolden's 1844 'Vocabulaire Français Arabe', with some of the dialogues adapted from Assaad Yakoob Kayat's 1844 publication 'The Eastern Traveller's Interpreter' with some additions and adaptations, presumably by Sacroug (Zack, Three Cases of Plagiarism? Historiographia Linguistica 49:2/3 (2022), pp. 267–301.). All of the Arabic text is transliterated into roman type. Library Hub records just a single copy, at Oxford, while Worldcat adds 3 further, at Munich, Harvard and Biblionet Drenthe, Netherlands.
This particular copy belonged to Hardwicke Rawnsley (1851-1920), who presumable acquired it prior to or during one of his trips to Egypt in the company of archaeologist Flinders Petrie; his own book on Egypt, 'Notes for The Nile' was published in 1892.
