L'Islam et son fondateur. Etude morale

First edition, uncommon, featuring at the end of the volume a folding genealogical table of the family of Muhammad (According to the CCF, copies are held only in Angers, Strasbourg, and Toulouse.)

A small pale water stain to the lower right corner of the first leaves, not affecting the text.

Bradel binding in half fawn cloth, flat spine decorated with a gilt fleuron and double gilt fillet at foot, brown shagreen title label, marbled paper boards.

This is the major work of Jules-Charles Scholl (1850–1886), who lived in Bienne and Neuchâtel; it stands apart from his usual writings, which were largely focused on animal advocacy.
