first edition Wraps
1940 · Basra, Iraq
by Melkonian, Vartan
Basra, Iraq: Faiha Press, 1940. First edition. Wraps. Very Good. Exceedingly scarce pamphlet about the then nomadic Iranian tribe from Southwest Iran. No copies on OCLC, and only two copies of a later, perhaps similar work, by the same author. 8vo. 18 by 12 cm. 28 pp. While the booklet is comparatively short and arguably a superficial overview, it highlights the things that distinguished the tribe in its customs and modes of living from the rest of the Persian population at the time.
