Perron Manuscripts

Two manuscript volumes, 1827: Melange Arabe. Texte et traduction. Traductions diverses, tires, ainsi que le texte Oriental, pour la plus part du Journal Asiatique, par M Perron (texts on the East, including works of writers on royal dynasties).

The author of the text is presumably Nicolas Perron, a French writer who published various texts on Islamic culture, literature and law, 1825-1870, with the following published posthumously: 'L'Islamisme: son institution, son influence et son avenir, par le Dr Perron: ouvrage posthume, publi et annot par son neveu Alfred Clerc' (1877); 'Balance de la loi musulmane; ou, Esprit de la lgislation islamique et divergences de ses quatre rites jurisprudentiels ... Traduit de l'arabe par le Dr Perron', ed J D Luciani (Alger, 1898); 'Lettres du Dr Perron du Caire et d'Alexandrie M Jules Mohl, Paris, 1838-1854', ed Yacoub Artin (Le Caire, 1911); 'Maliki Law being a summary from French translations [by Perron, Seignette, & Zeys] of the Mukhtasar of Sidi Khalil, with notes and bibliography by F H Ruxton ... Published by order of Sir F D Lugard ... Governor-General of Nigeria' (London, 1916).
