"The exploration in Anatolia undertaken in summer 1945 by the Institute for Research in Ancient Oriental Civilisationsof the University of Istanbul (the staff of the expedition, consisting of Prof. Dr. H. Th. Bossert, his assistants Dr. Halet Çambel, Nihal Ongunsu and Muhibbe Darga, were accompanied by Bay Ali Riza Yalgin of the Direction of Antiquities from ankara), led us along the road over the Taurus pass connecting Kayseri with south-eastern Anatolia and North Syria over Gezbel, Saimbeyli, Feke, Kozan and Ceyhan. Our aim was to determine as far as possible, the anient Hittite road at the time of the new Hittite Empire. On our way we seized every opportunity of getting information from the inhabitants about possible Hittite monuments in the vicinity. In this way we collected a number of pieces of information which seemed worth while examining. Among others was a rumour about a supposedly Hittite lion-relief worked on the rock, somewhere in the mountainous region east of Kadirli. It being already very late in the season, we were unable to check this information right away and had to postpone the matter until next year...".

‎Hilâl altinda dört sene ve buna ait bir cevap. [= Cuatro anos bajo la Media Luna (Four years under the Crescent)]. Translated by Kaymakam Hakki.‎

‎Very Good Turkish Paperback. 4to. (27 x 20 m). In Turkish. 76 p. Some foxing on covers and pages, chipped on spine. Otherwise a good copy. First and only edition. Rafael Inchauspe Méndez, known as Rafael de Nogales Méndez was a Venezuelan soldier, adventurer and writer who served for the Ottoman Empire during the Great War (1914-18). He travelled extensively and fought in many of the wars of his age. When a young man his father sent him to study in Europe and he attended Universities in Germany, Belgium and Spain, and spoke several languages fluently. Despite his education, Nogales felt more attracted to the military profession and he began to travel where the news of war took him. He took part in several conflicts in the last part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th: he fought for the Spanish against the Americans in the Spanish-American War. In 1902 with the support of president Zelaya of Nicaragua, Nogales participated in a failed attempt to overthrow Venezuelan dictator Cipriano Castro involving an expedition aboard the schooner La Libertad. The forces landed in La Guajira peninsula but were defeated by general Antonio Davila in Carazua as part of Revolución Libertadora of Venezuela. In 1904 participated in the Russo-Japanese War as double agent. Additionally, he spent time in Alaska during the time of the gold rush there. In California he fought with the forces of Mexican revolutionary Ricardo Flores Magón and also worked as a cowboy in Arizona. He returned to Venezuela in 1908, after the military coup of Juan Vicente Gómez that overthrew his enemy Cipriano Castro. Nogales was appointed by General Gómez as president of Apure State, however, he went into exile after making himself an enemy of the new president. When World War I began, after unsuccessfully attempting to join a number of other European armies, he enlisted in the Ottoman Army and was assigned to the Caucasus Front, where he reached the rank of major. He led gendarmerie troops during the siege of Van, but asked to be relieved due to what he believed were "unjustified massacres of Christians". He believed that the massacres were committed by Khahil Bey, the Commander and Chief of the Expeditionary Army he volunteered to serve. He later wrote a book describing his experiences with the Ottoman Army in World War I. Nogales Méndez reported that the civil authorities found it preferable to murder at night with the help of local Kurds. When visiting Aghtamar, an island in Lake Van where the Armenian Cathedral of the Holy Cross is located, he notes that he uncovered the corpses of many priests. Nogales Méndez visited Diyarbakir on June 26, 1915 and spoke with Mehmet Resid, who was the governor of the province. During his time in Diyarbakir, he witnessed the massacres of the local Christian population of the province. According to his conversation with Resid, the orders to massacre were sent from Interior Minister Talat Pasha. Nogales Méndez recounts in his memoirs that Resid mentioned to him that he received a telegram directly from Talat Pasha ordering him to "Burn-Destroy-Kill". After being transferred from the Caucasus, he saw action in the Sinai and Palestine Front. He fought in the Turkish lines during the entire war, and was awarded the Iron Cross by Kaiser Wilhelm II. After the war ended, he worked with the Nicaraguan revolutionary Augusto César Sandino. In London, Nogales wrote some books about his adventures around the world. In Venezuela he was appointed by General Gómez to study the Panamanian army, but later he died in Panama City in 1936. He wrote several books about his experiences, one of them is 'Cuatro anos bajo la Media Luna'. (Source: Wikipedia). This translation includes criticism under the name 'an answer'.‎

Der im Jahr 2000 entdeckte Schatzfund von Beçin (beim heutigen Milas in der Südwest-Türkei) ist mit knapp 50.000 islamischen und über 800 europäischen Münzen der größte Hort, der jemals in der Türkei im Zuge regulärer archäologischer Grabungen gefunden wurde, und zugleich der größte osmanische Münzschatz überhaupt. Der vorliegende Band stellt die Ergebnisse der archäologischen, historischen, wirtschaftsgeschichtlichen und numismatischen Analysen vor, die von einem türkisch-österreichischen Forschungsteam erarbeitet wurden. Die große Menge osmanischer Münzen ermöglichte ein in dieser Feinheit bisher unbekanntes Verständnis des osmanischen Prägesystems im späten 16. und frühen 17. Jahrhundert. Auf dieser Grundlage wird der Quellenwert der Münze für die osmanische Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungsgeschichte revolutioniert. Auch für die numismatische Beschäftigung mit der Münzprägung des Osmanischen Reiches wird dieser Band richtungweisend sein. - The 2000 discovery of a treasure trove at Becin (by what today is Milas in southwest-Turkey) includes just under 50,000 Islamic and about 800 European coins in the greatest hoard that has ever been found in Turkey as part of regular archaeological excavation. It is at the same time also the largest Ottoman treasure of coins ever discovered. This volume presents the results of archaeological, historical, economic and numismatic analysis, which were developed by a Turkish and Austrian research team. The large number of Ottoman coins allows for an unprecedented understanding of the subtlety of Ottoman embossing in the late 16th and early 17th Centuries. On this basis the source value of the coin for Ottoman economic and administrative history will be revolutionized. Also, for the numismatic study of the Ottoman Empire's embossing of coins, this volume will be a pioneering work. German text. "It is generally accepted that debasement greatly contributed to the economic and conse-quently also social problems of the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th/early 17th century. The numismatic data derived from the Beçin coin hoard, closing under sultan Ahmed (1603-1617) greatly challenges this view. Metal analysis has shown that only the overall weights of the coins were reduced; the ?neness of silver remained unchanged at least until the 1610s.".
