[Orientalism]. ELZEVIRIAN ORIENTAL LIBRARY. [Large collection of 70 volumes]. Paris, Ernest Leroux, 1873–1916. Small 12mo, paperback; printed covers; some copies from the first printing on laid paper or with the author’s autograph on the cover. Minor signs of wear or various stains, but good copies overall. A significant collection of 70 volumes from the approximately 90 publications comprising the Bibliothèque orientale elzévirienne, a series devoted to the languages, literatures, religions, and civilizations of the East, published in Paris by Ernest Leroux between 1873 and 1916. It includes works by well-known scholars—mostly French (philologists, Orientalists, colonial officials, diplomats)—as well as transcriptions of little-known and/or rarely annotated ancient Eastern or Asian texts.
