The catalog would not have been possible without the generous financial support of Professor Ralph Braibanti, Director of the fonner Arabic and Islamic Development Studies Program, Duke University. Prof. Braibanti has been associated with this project all the way through its printing. I am also thankful to him for his advice on the cover design. I am grateful to Connie K. McCarthy, Associate University Librarian, for her support of the project through many crucial stages in compilation and production. Jesse Eversole, Assistant Vice-Provost for Computing, pro- vided technical support for data conversion and indexing. My colleagues in the International and Area Studies Department, particularly Deborah Jakubs, Head of the Department, and Sara Berghausen, Library Assistant were very helphl in the final stages of the project. My thanks are also due to Nahld Khilji and Carlos Alvarado, who were mainly responsible for collecting the bibliographical information. Finally, I am thankful to graduate students Anjali Acharya and Vinayak Bhat for their assistance in proofing and printing the final copy. In a bibliographical work of this size some omissions and mistakes are inevitable. However, none of those listed above are responsible for the errors. As compiler and editor, I assume that accountability. A.C.M. It is with great pleasure and pride that Duke University Library publishes the Catalog of the Louis and Nancy Hatch Dupree Collection. The gift of h s r ich collectio-n has been a highlight of the Library's recent history, and I am personally gratified to see its description in print, as are all those whose lives were touched by the work of the Duprees. I would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Ralph Braibanti, who not only assisted us with the acquisition of thls collection, but also generously supported the preparation of the catalog financially. As Dr. Ralph Braibanti so clearly indicates in his Introduction, the collection of some four thousand items is unrivaled anywhere; it is certain to attract scholars and students of anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, and military history as well as those whose focus may be Afghanistan, Central Asia, or South Asia. We are pleased to be able to honor the late Dr. Dupree and his widow, Nancy Hatch Dupree, by enhancing the collection's accessibility through this catalog. Duke's library has been strengthened enormously by this unique gift, and the Duprees' immense contributions will continue through the work of all those who will consult this rich collection over the years to come. The timing of the publication of the catalog is propitious; the University has recently embarked energetically on a process of internationalization. The Dupree Catalog and the collection it describes are vivid reminders that an internationalized university must always be supported by an internationalized library. The Library welcomes the unique opportunity, through the publication of this catalog, to krther the knowledge of other cultures and histories and to disseminate important bibliographic infomation on topics of such deep interest to Louis and Nancy Dupree. Jerry D. Campbell, Ph.D. Vice Provost for Library Affairs and University Librarian EDITOR'S NOTE This catalog is a tribute from one bibliographer to two remarkable bibliophiles, It was an historic moment for my wife and me when, upon the invitation of Dr. Louis Dupree and Mrs. Nancy Dupree, we first visited their home in late 1988. A bookman's dream unfolded before my eyes as I stepped over the threshold of their two-storey house beside a small lake in Durham, North Carolina. Every single inch of space was occupied by books--books in the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, den, attic. Little did I know then that I would be called upon to list this priceless treasure for the eventual use of researchers everywhere. That happy task has permitted me to experience the breadth of this vast collection whch emanated from the Duprees' lifelong research partnership. The title of the catalog names only a portion of their multi-faceted international interests; to partake of the full range, one must journey, as they did, through the hundreds of categories under which some 4000 titles are listed. Although the arrangement of entries in the catalog is obvious, a few explanatory comments are in order. The titles are listed alphabetically by author or in some cases under title, under a specific subject heading, mostly from the Library of Congress Subject Headings List. Each title is provided only a single subject heading that closely describes the subject. Any repetition of a title under more than one heading is coincidental. An index to the first-named author or editor is provided at the end. Some books received too late to be included in the main subject section are listed alphabetically by author in the Appendix on page 3 15 and are housed in the Special Collections Library within Perkins Library. The brief bibliographical descriptions listed here were compiled from secondary sources such as on-line union catalogs. However, in cases of doubt, the information was checked against the actual books. A complete list of all the works of Louis Dupree is included in a pamphlet by Nancy Dupree published in Peshawar (Pakistan) in 1992 as: Curriculum Vztae: Louis Dupree, 1925-1989. This 63-page pamphlet is available for the copying charge from Duke University Library. Avinash C . Maheshwary Bibliographer for South Asia and the Middle East
