Seconda edizione (la prima è del 1880, stampata privatamente da Quaritch). Dalla prefazione, scritta da Isabel Burton (moglie dell'A.): “On the return journey from Meccah, when Richard Burton could secure any privacy, he composed the following exquisite gem of Oriental poetry, and called it “The Kasidah”. by Haji Abdu al-Yazdi, which was one of his Eastern noms-de-plume.. “The Kasidah” was written in 1853. It is a poem of extraordinary power, on the Nature and Destiny of Man, anti-Christian and Pantheistic. So much wealth of Oriental learning has rarely been compressed into so small a compass..”. “Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890), viaggiatore e scrittore inglese. Per alcuni anni in India, compì (1853) un viaggio alla Mecca travestito da pellegrino; e quindi in Somalia riuscendo a raggiungere Harrar, non ancora visitata da Europei (1854). Parti' quindi con Speke alla ricerca delle sorgenti del Nilo e scoprì il lago Tanganica (1858). Fu poi in California e nuovamente in Africa, dove salì per primo il M. Camerun. Lasciò importanti relazioni delle sue esplorazioni”, così Diz. Treccani,II, p. 561-62. Bella edizione in tiratura limitata di sole 100 copie numerate. La ns., 46, è in ottimo stato, con barbe.
