Fleurat, Georges Constantin Louis, French diplomat (1767-1837).
Document signed ("G. C. Fleurat" and "Kieffer"). [Istanbul], 28 Vendémiaire XI [20 Oct. 1802].
4to. 1 p. on bifolium. A unique account documenting the restoration of Turko-French relations after Napoleon's campaign in Egypt and Syria between 1798 and 1801, describing how several unspecified objects confiscated during the campaign were returned by the Ottoman press to the French. Fleurat, who served as chancelier provisoire to the French legation, here reports that he was accompanied by the orientalist and linguist Jean-Daniel Kieffer (1767-1833), who counter-signs the document, to the Aynalikavak palace in Istanbul. Here they were handed over the items by Müderris Abdurrahman Efendi, the first manager of the Mühendishane printing house (opened in Istanbul in 1797, the house that would publish the famous Cedid Atlas in 1803). The objects, Fleurat reports, were then transported to the French embassy for safekeeping. His account also mentions that the diplomat Jacques Argyropoulo, appointed by Ibrahim (Müteferrika) Effendi, the pioneer of printing in the Muslim world, was present at the handover, and refers to a list of the received objects which has probably not survived. - From the collection of the Turkish author, journalist, and publisher Sevket Rado (1913-88), founder of "Tifdruk" printing house. - Small tears to the left and right margins along the centrefold, not touching the text; a few minor edge flaws.

Fludd, Robert / Henri de Pisis / Alfakini.
Fasciculus geomanticus, in quo varia variorum opera geomantica continentur. "Verona" [= Frankfurt am Main], 1687.
647, (1) pp. 197, (1) pp. With title-page printed in red and black, 5 (of 6) large folding letterpress tables, 1 double-page engraved folding plate with 2 engraved illustrations, and some woodcut illustrations and numerous letterpress geomantic figures in text. With (2): Tabulae geomanticae, seu liber singularis de tribus ultimis ex antiquo manuscripto de anno MDXXXV. Iam primo luci datus, annexis duabus tabellis huic studio mirè inservientibus, caeteroquin utilibus & jucundis. Frankfurt am Main, Johann David Zunner, 1693. With 2 letterpress folding tables following text, and nearly 200 pages of letterpress tables with geomantic figures. 2 works in 1 volume, bound in reverse order. 8vo. Contemporary vellum. First edition of a collection of three texts on geomancy, a divination system with Arabian origins. Geomancy comes from the Ancient Greek "geômanteía", a translation of the Arabic term "'ilm al-raml", the "science of the sand". It includes texts by the English physician and astrologer Robert Fludd (1574-1637), the French physician Henri de Pisis and the Arab Alfakini. It is preceded by its separately published supplement Tabulae geomanticae, together forming "the standard printed Latin source for the rules of geomantic practice [...] a handbook and compendium not since rivalled for clarity and completeness" (Skinner). - Fludd's treatise "De Animae intellectualis Scientia seu geomantia" was first published in his magnum opus "Utriusque Cosmi maioris salicet et minoris metaphysica" (1617-19), and appeared slightly altered in the present work. "Fludd [...] tried to present [geomancy] as a science of intellectual soul in which intellectual rays emanated from the mind to mundane affairs and then returned to the center with tidings of the future [...] He discusses how the geomancer should so dispose himself that the intentions of his mind are clearly emitted [...] Fludd's treatise is immediately followed by a longer geomancy by H. de Pisis [first published in 1638]. The work is divided into three parts devoted respectively to the theory, practice and questions taken from previous authors. The theory is largely astrological. Instead of jotting down four rows of dots at random, a wheel with sixteen projections is spun or whirled in order to obtain one of the sixteen geomantic figures. Fludd is cited more than once, also Arabic authors like Geber and Aomar" (Thorndike). The last treatise contains the geomantic questions of the Arab Alfakini, son of Abizarch, based on a manuscript from 1535 and published here for the first time. The manuscript was a Latin translation by Plato of Tivoli (fl. first half of the 12th century), known for his translations of Arabic texts. A supplement to this last text, containing almost 200 pages of tables, is bound first. It opens with a series of 25 numbered questions, the answers to these questions can be found in the tables of the matching geomantic figure. - With a crude drawing of a head on pastedown. Lacking one letterpress folding table in the main work. Browned throughout, as usual, some occasional smudges, a few tears along the folds of the folding tables, and some wormholes in the first two leaves, resulting in a small hole in the gutter of the title-page, otherwise internally still good. Binding soiled and with crudely restored spine. VD 17, 7:692678X & 39:120436C. Caillet 4035. Thorndike VIII, 481f. S. Skinner, Terrestrial Astrology: Divination by Geomancy (1980).

Forbin, Louis Nicolas Philippe Auguste.
Voyage dans le Levant en 1817 et 1818. Paris, de l'Imprimerie Royale, 1819.
Text vol. in 8vo and atlas in folio (670 x 503 mm). (4), 460 pp. (4), 65 pp. Half-titles in both vols.; 80 lithographed, sepia aquatint or engraved plates and plans, the 8 fine aquatints by Debucourt after Forbin, the lithographed subjects for G. Engelmann after Lecomte, Deseynes, Castellan, Carle, and Horace Vernet, Fragonard, Thiénon, Legros, Isabey and others, large folding engraved plan at the end of text vol. 19th century marbled half calf with giltstamped title to gilt spine. First edition. Only 325 copies of this work were produced. "Forbin's was one of the first important French books to use lithography on a grand scale, and the standard of production is equal to that of Napoléon's 'Description de l'Egypte' or Denon's 'Voyage'" (Navari, Blackmer). Forbin succeeded Denon as director of museums in 1816 and was authorised to purchase antiquities for the Louvre (his son-in-law, Marcellus, expedited the acquisition of the recently discovered Venus de Milo). In August 1817 he began a year-long journey to the Levant accompanied by the artist Pierre Prévost and the engineer de Bellefonds. His journey took him to Melos, Athens, Constantinople, Smyrna, Ephesus, Acre, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Cairo, Luxor, and Thebes. - This set includes the frequently lacking 8vo text volume: this has the plan of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre bound at the end with a list of plates which were sold separately. The atlas volume repeats the text (entirely reset in-folio, sometimes found in a separate folio volume) and includes the magnificent, highly desirable plates (after Carle Vernet, Fragonard, Isabey, and Forbin himself, as well as Prevost), which show fine views of Greece, the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, Ramla, Gaza, and Egypt. - Occasional slight foxing, still a splendid copy from the library of the ducs de Luynes at the Château de Dampierre: their bookplate reproducing the arms of Charles Marie d'Albert de Luynes (1783-1839), 7th Duc de Luynes, on pastedown. The Aboussouan copy (comprising both the folio and the octavo volume) commanded £20,000 at Sotheby's in 1993, while in 2002 the Atabey copy of the folio volume alone fetched £22,000. Atabey 447f. Blackmer 614. Aboussouan 338. Weber I, 68-70. Röhricht 1660. Tobler 144f. Colas 1089. Hiler 321. Ibrahim-Hilmy I, 163. Brunet II, 1337. Graesse II, 614. Cf. Lipperheide Ma 16 (2nd ed.).

Forsskål, Pehr / Niebuhr, Carsten (ed.).
Flora aegyptiaco-arabica. Sive descriptiones plantarum, quas Aegyptum inferiorum et Arabiam felicem. Copenhagen, Möller for Heineck and Faber, 1775.
4to (245 x 190 mm). 32, CXXVI, (2), 219, (1) pp. Complete but irregular pagination. With full-page engraved map of part of Yemen, drawn by Niebuhr and engraved by Peter Haas. 19th century half calf over green marbled boards. All edges marbled, title in gilt on spine. First edition of a "pioneer work by the great botanist Forskål which substantially increased the knowledge about the vegetation in the areas he visited. The author proposed 50 new genera, half of which are still valid" (Hünersdorf). The Swedish botanist Peter Forsskål (1732-1763), a brilliant pupil of Linnaeus, was part of the famously doomed Royal Danish expedition to Arabia 1761-1767. Despite his success in studying Arabic and collecting and recording numerous botanical and zoological specimens, all but one of Forsskål's party perished; Forsskål himself contracted malaria and died in Yemen at only thirty-one. The sole survivor was the group's cartographer, Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815), who returned to Sweden and published Forsskål's meticulous notes, preserved in this volume, which describe a staggering number of Arabian plants for the first time in modern scientific terms. Forsskål was also known for using local Arabic terms for plants and animals in assigning them Latin names. Many Arabic terms are listed alongside botanical descriptions in this volume as well, appearing in both Latin and Arabic scripts. Among these are coffee and the drug plant qat (Catha edulis). Indeed, Forsskål and Niebuhr were the first Europeans to taste the qat. In a note added to his description, Forsskål describes the cultivation and uses of the drug, observing how the Arabs chewed the green leaves to stay awake all night (p. 64). The volume closes with one of Niebuhr's maps, showing the Western side of the Arabian Peninsula, today Saudi Arabia, as it was in the 1760s. - Light external wear, otherwise well-preserved. Pritzel 2969. Hünersdorf, Coffee, pp. 517-518. Stafleu & Cowan 1819. Cf. I. Friis, "Coffee and qat on the Royal Danish expedition to Arabia", in: Archives of Natural History, vol. 42, No. 1 (April 2015), pp. 101-112..

The Historical Geography of Arabia; or, the Patriarchal Evidences of Revealed Religion: a Memoir, with Illustrative Maps; and an Appendix, containing Translations, with an Alphabet and Glossary, of the Hamyaritic Inscriptions recently discovered in Hadramaut. London, Duncan and Malcolm, 1844.
8vo. 2 vols. LXXXIII, (1), 357 pp. VI, 509, (1) pp. With two large folding frontispiece maps of the Arabian Peninsula (56 cm x 41 cm), a large folding chart of inscriptions, 1 engraved plate of inscriptions, and one further folding translation of the same inscription. Apparently never bound with the "vignette plate of Nakab el Hajar" supposed to face p. 335. Repairs to both maps. Only edition of this detailed study of place names, tribal geneaologies, and pre-Islamic inscriptions. "An attempt at the proof of the descent of the Arabs from Ishmael" (Ghani). Includes an interesting attack on Edward Gibbon's 'geographical' explanation for the rise of Islam out of Mecca; Forster denounces Gibbon's "scepticism" and "artful insinuations" by pointing out some of his errors in historical geography, meanwhile defending the claim of a Scriptural prophecy in favour of the descendants of Ishmael.

Fourier, Charles / Dain, Charles.
De l’Abolition de l’Esclavage [...]. (Extrait de La Phalange, Journal de l’École Sociétaire). Paris, au Bureau de la Phalange, 1836.
8vo. (4), 54 pp, (1 integral blank leaf). Purple wrappers. Extremely rare sole edition of these definitive statements on slavery by both Fourier and his disciple, the Guadeloupe-born créole lawyer Charles Dain. Both Fourier’s article (“Remède aux Divers Esclavages”, pp. 43-54) and Dain’s “De l’Abolition de l’Esclavage” had also appeared in the impossibly rare "Première Serie" of the journal La Phalange (1836-40). Giving up his legal career in Paris, Dain (1812-72) turned to Fourier and the proto-Communists and was elected Representative for Guadeloupe by the newly-emancipated slaves there in 1848. - “Charles Fourier denounced British apprenticeship [an intermediate solution for emancipated slaves] and the compensation for slave owners embedded in the parliamentary emancipation bill of 1833: ‘And the fruit of this gigantic donation? Nothing other than a vicious circle, as we see in England, where […] one finds […] legions of poor, both theoretical and real” (Jennings, French Anti-Slavery, p. 44). “As far as the indemnity was concerned, Fourier opposed the need for it from the very first words of his [Remède aux Divers Esclavages]. He believed it was madness to spend millions on freeing the slaves, as the English government had done and as the anglophiles among the French advocated […] On the other hand, for Fourier, slavery was the same kind of problem as poverty […] The cause was the excessive fragmentation of landholdings which prevented small landowners from supporting the costs needed to work the land productively” (Simona Pisanelli, Economic Thought and Institutional Change in France, p. 69). - Fourier (1772-1837) and Dain thus believed in a ‘gradualistic’ approach to emancipation and considered slavery as just one of many ‘servitudes’ inflicted upon humanity by corrupt and immoral social strictures. Here, Dain comments that “what we especially call slavery is only the culminating and pivotal point where all of the suffering of society comes together”. These concepts ultimately made their way to America, influencing Albert Brisbane and the American Associationists (cf. Guarnerip, The Utopian Alternative: Fourierism in 19th-Century America, pp. 252f.). - OCLC shows just a handful of copies worldwide, including just one in the US – at the George Washington University Law Library (an apparently physical copy noted on OCLC with 26 holdings is in fact a digital reproduction). As noted above, examples of the Première Serie of La Phalange (1836-40) are of the utmost rarity (we can find no copies in auction records of the last 50 years). - The present copy sounds very similar to (and may well be) the copy sold at Pierre Bergé in 2013 for €1,180 (“la plaquette est rare. Exemplaire en partie debroche, manques de papier au dos”). - Traces of old block-stitching in the gutter; pages clean and fresh. A good copy. Goldsmiths' Library of Economic Literature II, 29695. Cf also Schmidt, Abolitionnistes de l'esclavage et réformateurs des colonies: 1820-1851, p. 199; Andrews, “Breaking the Ties: French Romantic Socialism and the Critique of Liberal Slave Emancipation”, The Journal of Modern History 85 (2013), pp. 489-527.

Francklin, William.
Observations made on a tour from Bengal to Persia in the years 1786-7. With a short account of the remains of the celebrated palace of Persepolis; and other interesting events. London, T. Cadell, 1790.
8vo. VIII, 351, (1) pp. Handsome period style brown gilt tooled half calf with marbled boards and red gilt morocco label. Period ink inscription on the first page of the Preface: "G. Matcham". With an autograph letter signed from Colonel Francklin to Major Moor, dated 1835, attached to the front endpaper. 4to. 2 pp. Brown ink on laid paper. Second edition, with an autograph letter signed by the author. While the writing is not particularly clear, the letter is in very good condition. Most likely from the library of English explorer and Officer of East India Company George Matcham (1753-1833). Being William Francklin's older contemporary, Matcham served in the Company in 1771-85 and extensively travelled across the Near East and the Red Sea on the way from India to England and back (cf. ODNB). William Francklin (1763-1839) was an Officer of the East India Company and a prominent orientalist; member, and in later years, librarian of the council, of the Royal Asiatic Society. He was also a member of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. "A distinguished officer, Francklin also enjoyed considerable reputation as an oriental scholar. In 1786 he made a tour of Persia, in the course of which he lived at Shiraz for eight months as the close friend of a Persian family, and was thus able to write a fuller account of Persian customs than had before appeared. This was published as 'Observations Made on a Tour from Bengal to Persia' (Calcutta, 1788) and was translated into French in 1797" (ODNB). Francklin's account was also published in German the same year as our English edition. The first edition was published in Calcutta in 1788. "An important book in the growing interest of 'Orientalism.' There are numerous references to Hafez. (Francklin's book was read by Byron, among others). The book is also important because of the retelling of comments the author had heard about Karim Khan Zand. The author states eye-witnesses had told him Karim Rhan always rode at the head of his troops; his soldiers liked him; there was nothing great in him but he was considered a just man even though during the last year of his reign he committed some cruel acts. We are also informed that Karim Khan was a 'debaucher.' The author saw a full cycle of Ta'zie during his stay in Shiraz" (Ghani). "Describes Cochin, Tellicherry, Anjengo, Goa, Bombay etc." (Kaul Travels 858). - A very good, handsome copy. Howgego I, E8. Ghani 138. Cox I, 257. Henze II, 165.

Frank, Othmar.
Chrestomathia Sanskrita, quam ex codicibus manuscriptis, adhuc ineditis, Londini exscripsit, atque in usum Tironum versione, expositione, tabulis grammaticis etc. illustratam edidit [...]. Munich, typographice ac lithographice opera et sumtibus propriis, 1820-1821.
Large 4to (222 x 253 mm.). 2 parts in one volume. XII, 194, (2) pp. (4), 147, (3) pp., all lithographed save for 1 page. With 6 lithographed plates (4 folding). Original temporary grey boards as issued. Rare; one of the first Sanskrit works published in Germany. Lithographed throughout (with the exception of a single letterpress page at the beginning of part 2) and published at the author's expense: "Alles über Umdruck lithographisch gedruckt" (Winkler). Contains the earliest (partial) edition of the Bhagavadgita (in part 2), pre-dating August Wilhelm Schlegel's edition - admittedly better printed - by several years. The former Benedictine monk Frank (1770-1840), an admirer of Persian philosophy, studied oriental languages in Paris and London. In 1821 he took the chair of Indian and Persian at Würzburg University and went to Munich in 1826 as Professor of Sanskrit. In spite of his pioneering work, he exerted little influence on the development of linguistics and Sanskrit studies, probably due to his penchant for mysticism and his laboured, nebulous prose (cf. ADB). - Boards worn; some browning and staining as common. From the library of Swedish antiquarian bookdealer Björn Löwendahl (1941-2013). Graesse II, 629. Winkler 224. ADB VII, 260.

8vo. XV, (1), 557, (1) pp. German & Arabic text. Contemporary marbled boards with giltstamped spine label; sprinkled edges. First edition of this compendium of Arabic versification. The German classicist and theologian Freytag (1788-1861) studied at Göttingen, but in his final year accepted an appointment as sub-librarian at Königsberg.

Upon the proclamation of peace Freytag resigned his chaplaincy and returned to his research in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, studying in Paris under Silvestre de Sacy. In 1819 he was appointed to the professorship of Oriental Languages at the new University of Bonn, and he held this post until his death. His principal work was the "Lexicon Arabico-Latinum" (Halle, 1830-1837), an abridgment of which was published in 1837. - Occasional browning; slight chipping to spine; early Swiss ownerships ("Dahler", "R.

Oblong 1mo (48 x 63.5 cm). With 6 tinted lithographed plates by Frisch, with captions in German and French below. The first three in the deluxe issue printed by B. Dondorf, Frankfurt am Main, the last three in the regular issue printed by G. Küstner. Original publisher's letterpress printed wrappers, with a list of subscribers and advertisements on the back of the front wrapper. Extremely rare set of six beautifully lithographed plates showing scenes made on a journey to the Middle East to procure Arabian horses for the Royal Wuerttemberg stud farms, by Friedrich Frisch (1813-86), court painter in Darmstadt. In 1840/41 he accompanied the Wuerttemberg chamberlain Wilhelm von Taubenheim (1805-94), the writer Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer (1816-77) and the physician Karl Bopp (1817-47) on a journey to the Middle East to procure Arabian horses for the Royal Wuerttemberg stud farms Weil and Marbach. They first went to Constantinople, where they were welcomed by Sultan Abdülmecid I, continuing to Beirut, Damascus and Jerusalem. In Jaffa they met the Ottoman general Ibrahim Pasha. - The set was originally published in two instalments and available in two issues: a deluxe issue printed with a larger tinted background with white highlights (plates 1-3) and a regular issue (plates 4-6). They show: (1) a rider on a dromedary with a letter to Ibrahim Pasha; (2) the camp of Ibrahim Pasha; (3) three Bedouin horse riders; (4) another scene with Bedouins; (5) the group's passage through the Balkans; and (6) a Turkish courier. All views, except the first, include horses. - Hackländer wrote a short text to accompany the set, but it is not included. Two plates slightly soiled in the margins and some tiny tears along the extremities, otherwise in very good condition. Engelmann, Bibliotheca geographica, p. 123. Thieme/Becker XII, p. 491.

Frisch, F[riedrich].
Sovereign. Darmstadt, Ernst Kern, [c. 1850].
560 x 456 mm. Toned lithograph (the stallion "Sovereign" in its stable at the Royal Württemberg Stud). Captioned in German and English. Fine lithographed portrait of the thoroughbred Sovereign, foaled by Mervinia and the stallion Champion, and thus a descendant of the Godolphin Arabian on the paternal side and of the Darley Arabian by his mother's line (both lines including Marske and Eclipse). The horse, formerly in the stables of King George IV, had in 1841 entered the famous stud of the King of Württemberg, the first Arabian stud in Europe. Drawn from life by the Darmstadt artist Frederick Frisch (1813-86), sometime court painter to the Margrave of Baden, and lithographed by G. Küstner. Frisch had visited the orient on the commission of the King of Württemberg, painting "The Camp of Ibrahim Pasha" and "Ibrahim Pasha's Retreat Through the Desert". He also published lithographed "Sketches from the Orient" (1843). Mainly a painter of animals, Frisch produced great horse paintings, some of which were exhibited at the 1906 Berlin Centennial. Cf. Thieme/B. XII, 491.

Contemporary red morocco, spines and covers gilt. Marbled endpapers; all edges gilt. First edition of this important and early photobook on the Near East. During the years 1856-59, Frith (1822-98) made three visits to Egypt and the Holy Land; this selection of his photographs, from wet-collodion 9 x 7 negatives taken with an 8-by-10 inch camera, was published in 25 fascicles of 3 prints each, a work hailed as "one of the most renowned nineteenth-century photobooks" (The Photobook). Most of these images are dated 1857 either in the plate or the printed caption.

Modern bookplate of the German anthropologist Jasper Köcke. Bindings very slightly rubbed, but hinges somewhat brittle; unobtrusive chafe-mark to upper cover of vol. 2.

Fuad Erden, Ali / Erdemgil Senai, Osman.
Musavver 1904-1905 Rus-Japon seferi. Ilan-i harbdan muahede-i sulhiyeye kadar güderan eden wukuat-i harbiyeyi kafe-i tefsilatile camidir. Istanbul, Kitabhane-i Islam ve Askeri (Islamic and Military Library / Ebrahim Halimi), [1905 CE =] 1321 Rumi.
Large 8vo. Vol. 1 (out of 5) only. 320 pp. With numerous charts and in-text illustrations, folding map at rear. Burgundy cloth ruled and stamped in blind, covers with bevelled edges, title in gilt, with a colour map of Russia and Northeast Asia decorating the front cover. First volume of this illustrated history on the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 in Ottoman Turkish, featuring numerous in-text illustrations and a large colour folding map depicting China and Manchuria, Korea, Japan, and Russia at the moment of conflict. - The Russo-Japanese war was one of the precipitating events of the 20th century, and played its part in leading Russia towards destabilization and revolution as well as affecting the trajectory of Japan's relations with the West. It is of particular interest to Turkish history and indeed was of great contemporary interest in Ottoman Turkey; the outbreak of war "generated waves of enthusiasm in Turkey as a traditional arch-rival of Russia", though the results of war "on the empire proved disastrous" (Esenbel). Many in Turkey identified with the Japanese, having recently fought and lost territory to Russia themselves. Though the official Ottoman stance was neutrality, in an attempt not to antagonize Russia, individuals felt differently: "When Muslim newspapers celebrated Japan’s defeat of Russia as the victory of the downtrodden Eastern peoples over the invincible West, a Turkish nationalist feminist, Halide Edip, like many other women, named her son Togo after the commander of the Japanese fleet, Admiral Heihachiro Togo" (Esenbel). The Ottoman fascination with the war and with Japan is clear from the text and its numerous illustrations of Japanese people and scenes. - There are at least four Persian translations of this history held in the Afghanistan Digital Library in Kabul, but no copy of the original version, which, interestingly, is always labelled as "unknown Turkish work" by the cataloguer. - Spine shaken and splitting, binding remains firm. Özege 14434. Selçuk Esenbel, "The Impact of the Russo-Japanese War on Ottoman Turkey", in Shingetsu Electronic Journal of Japanese-Islamic Relation 4 (Sept. 2008), pp. 16-24. OCLC 645667890.

Furet, Caroline.
Histoire abregee de l'Empire Ottoman. Résumé mnémotechnique complémentaire. Constantinople, Levant Herald, 1880.
4to (192 x 251 mm). 7, (1); 6 pp., blank leaf. Contemporary red morocco with gilt spine and cover borders; upper cover giltstamped "Bibliotheque Imperiale" and lower cover with gilt ornament. Marbled endpapers. Only edition. - A capsule condensement, for the use of students, of the author's 208-page history of the Ottoman Empire (1869), here written in rhyming verse, published in French and Ottoman Turkish (the latter part lithographed). - Binding a little rubbed, mainly at extremeties. Removed from the library of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, with traces of requisite marks and the author's handwritten inscription to front flyleaf: "Á Sa Majesté Abdul Hamid II / Hommage très respectueux de l'auteur C. Furet". - Abdul Hamid II (1842-1918) was the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to exert effective contol over the fracturing state and also remembered as a poet, translator and one of the dynasty's greatest bibliophiles. While his passion for books is memorialized by the many precious donations he gave to libraries all over the world and which mostly have remained intact to this day (including the 400-volume "Abdul-Hamid II Collection of Books and Serials" gifted to the Library of Congress), his own library was dispersed in the years following his deposition in 1909: books were removed to other palaces and even sold to Western collectors, the greatest part of his collection is today preserved in the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.
