Effros, Bonnie
MEROVINGIAN MORTUARY ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE MAKING OF THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES
Clothing, jewelry, animal remains, ceramics, coins, and weaponry are among the artifacts that have been discovered in graves in Gaul dating from the fifth to eighth century. Those who have unearthed them, from the middle ages to the present, have speculated widely on their meaning. This authoritative book makes a major contribution to the study of death and burial in late antique and early medieval society with its long overdue systematic discussion of this mortuary evidence. Tracing the history of Merovingian archaeology within its cultural and intellectual context for the first time, Effros exposes biases and prejudices that have colored previous interpretations of these burial sites and assesses what contemporary archaeology can tell us about the Frankish kingdoms. Working at the intersection of history and archaeology, and drawing from anthropology and art history, Effros emphasizes in particular the effects of historical events and intellectual movements on French and German antiquarian and archaeological studies of these grave goods. Her discussion traces the evolution of concepts of nationhood, race, and culture and shows how these concepts helped shape an understanding of the past. Effros then turns to contemporary multidisciplinary methodologies and finds that we are still limited by the types of information that can be readily gleaned from physical and written sources of Merovingian graves. For example, since material evidence found in the graves of elite families and particularly elite men is more plentiful and noteworthy, mortuary goods do not speak as directly to the conditions in which women and the poor lived. The clarity and sophistication with which Effros discusses the methods and results of European archaeology is a compelling demonstration of the impact of nationalist ideologies on a single discipline and of the struggle toward the more pluralistic vision that has developed in the post-war years. ; 1.05 x 9.24 x 6.38 Inches; 272 pages

EUGENE SCHUYLER, (American scholar, writer, explorer, traveler and diplomat), (1840-1890).
[CENTRAL ASIA / THE GREAT GAME] Musavver Türkistan tarih ve seyahatnamesi: Mesahir-i seyyahinden Amerikali Mösyö Suyler'in Petersburg'dan hareketle Volga Nehri sahilinde meskun Alman muhacirleriyle etdigi mülakata ve Baskir ve Avralsk ve Kazak kabailiyle ahalisinin adat ve atvarina ve Asya-yi vustanin kapisi mukassaminda olan Avranprag sehrine ugrayarak zaten. Translated by Ahmed Musahihi. [i.e. Early Turkish Edition of 'Turkistan: Notes of a Journey in Russian Turkistan, Khokand, Bukhara, and Kuldja'].
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original black cloth. Title lettered gilt on spine with traditional decorations. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters. [1], 334 p., 17 numerous woodcut plates with tissue papers. The attractive illustrations show important Islamic buildings in the region, portraits of locals, and views of the cities. Occasionally foxing on some pages and tissue papers, some notes on the blank pages in pencil. Otherwise a very good copy. Exceedingly rare first Turkish edition of this eye-witness travel account of American explorer and diplomat Schuyler's two-volume "Notes of a Journey in Russian Turkistan, Khokand, Bukhara, and Kuldja", describing the fall of the Khiva Khanate, Muslim life in Central Asian cities, and detailed geographical survey Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan. Schuyler's account gives detailed information on the Russian steppe and the Volga River before proceeding to Central Asia proper, with chapters on the Syr Darya, daily life in Tashkent, bazaars and trade, Samarkand, the Zarafshan Valley, and Hodjent (present-day Khujand, Tajikistan) and Kurama (a mountain range in present-day Tajikistan and Uzbekistan); Khokand, Bukhara, Issyk Kul (in present-day Kyrgyzstan) and Semiretch (present-day Semirech'e, Kazakhstan), and Kuldja (in present-day China), and concludes with chapters on Russian administration, Russian foreign policy in Asia, and the Khivan Campaign of 1873, in which Russia conquered the Khivan Khanate. Eugene Schuyler was an American diplomat, explorer, author, and scholar who was one of the first foreigners invited by the Russian government to see Russia's newly conquered territories in Central Asia. In 1873, while serving as the secretary of the American legation in Saint Petersburg, Schuyler made an eight-month trip through lands then little known to outsiders. He gathered extensive geographical information and wrote an account of his travels for the National Geographic Society and a lengthy confidential report for the U.S. Department of State. He was critical of the Russian treatment of the Tartars but otherwise saw the Russian presence in Central Asia as benign. (Source: World Digital Library). Very rare, couldn't be found in the registers of auctions and catalogs in recent years. Özege 14488.; Karatay TM, II, 725.; MKAHTBK, II, 1372.; Tarâzî 253.; Ihsanoglu, pp. 228-229.
