Splendid Piazza edition of three oriental Algerian tales collected by Sliman Ben Ibrahim, translated and illustrated by Étienne Dinet (1861-1929). Paris, H. Piazza, 1902. In-8 (227 x 162 mm).

The illustration includes 50 full-page and in-text colour compositions by Dinet, as well as numerous magnificent polychrome ornaments with gold highlights. 340 copies printed, this one of 260 on vellum. The Orientalist painter Étienne Dinet (1861-1929) converted to Islam in 1913 under the name Nasreddine. His discovery of southern Algeria and his meeting with Slimane Ben Ibrahim in 1889 had profoundly influenced his artistic and spiritual life. In 1905, Dinet settled permanently in Bou Saada; he made the pilgrimage to Mecca shortly before his death in 1929. A fine copy.
