$a Herbelot spent much of his life preparing this work, but died with it unfinished. It was published in Paris in 1697, two years after Herbelot's death, having been finished by Antoine Galland who provided a 'Discours pour servir de préface' to this and following editions. Based on the immense Arabic bibliography (the Kashf al-Zunun) of Hadji Khalfa (Katip Çelebi), it also contains the substance of a vast number of other Arabic and Turkish compilations and manuscripts. The book, dedicated to the King, Louis XIV, is arranged in alphabetical order followed by an index to the proper names and subjects and a list of the oriental authors and other works citred in the Bibliothèque orientale. |
