‎Istanbul: Original Manuscript. 1324 Safer AH 1908. No Binding. Very Good. Original color manuscript calendar prepared on a fine special paper with 'ahar'. 36x225 cm. In Ottoman script Turkish with Arabic letters. 2 p. Several ink stains on paper chipped on extremities. A very good manuscript. It shows astronomic situations locations of planets and stars and climates in 1324 AD 1908. It starts with high praise to Sultan Abd�lhamid II with an old style of color moon & crescent icon. Sealed by Mehmed Pasaz�de A. Ihsan. On the verso of paper can be seen detailed calendar and details of 'ruzname'. Written on 'printed' down of the paper probably it's prepared for the printing therefore it's understood that Ihsan and Refet were thinking to print this 'taqwim'. Prepared in the year of the Second Constitutional Regime II. Mesrutiyet which was Abdul Hamid II's fall came as a result of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution and the Young Turks put the 1876 Constitution back into effect. It seems it's prepared before fall of the Sultan and for the present to the Sultan. The Second Constitutional Period spanned from 1908 until after World War I when the Ottoman Empire was dissolved. "The starting year of the Hijr� calendar al-taqwim al-hijri the fundamental Islamic lunar calendar still in use among Muslims until today is 622 CE. Its beginning corresponds to the Hijra or emigration of Prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina. It is based on the revolution of the moon around the Earth and consists of twelve months of 29 or 30 days: Muharram 30 Safar 29 Rab�' al-awwal 30 Rabi' al-thani 29 Jum�da al-awwal 30 Jum�da al-thani 29 Rajab 30 Sha'ban 29 Ramadhan 30 Shawwal 29 Dhul-'l-qi'da 30 and Dhul-hijja 29 or 30. The lunar year consists of 354 days which is 11 days less than the solar year and every 33 years it falls one year behind the Gregorian calendar. The discrepancy with the solar year which follows the seasons meant that Muslim countries also used the solar calendar and some calendars drawn up by astronomers include the dates according to the European Gregorian calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Ottoman Turkey used both the Islamic lunar calendar and a solar calendar known as the Rum� or Roman calendar which was based on the Julian calendar introduced since the times of Julius Caesar in 46 BC. The Roman calendar was inherited from the Byzantines and was used by the Ottomans for the taxation of agricultural revenues. The year according to the Rum� or Julian calendar began on 1 March and the Ottomans took the starting year to be that of the Hijra. To make up for the gain of 11 days made by the solar Rum� calendar over the Islamic calendar a leap year was deducted from the Rum� calendar every 33 years. A r�zname is a set of tables giving the first days of the months in both the Islamic and Rum� calendars the date on which the sun enters each sign of the zodiac and eclipses of the sun and moon. Also known as takv�m-i d�im� perpetual calendar or takv�m-i devr-i d�im calendar of perpetual motion the ruzname were permanently valid whatever the year. There is no evidence that such calendars were produced in pre-Ottoman times and they may therefore be regarded as a type unique to Ottoman Turkey.".

‎MUSTAFA HALIM OZYAZICI Ottoman / Turkish calligrapher 1898 1964.‎

‎Autograph paper signed 'Hattat el-Hac Mustafa Halim'.‎

‎Istanbul: pre-1928. Soft cover. Fine. Original manuscript paper with its decorative frame. Paper size: 75x13 cm; frame size: 19x24 cm. In Ottoman script. 1 p. Signature of Halim by his very calligraphic style with 'Hattat el-Hac' title and seen one sentence down of paper: 'G�nderilen meblagi m�tesekkir aldim h�rmetlerim efendim' i.e. 'I received the amount sent thanks and gratitude'. Mustafa Halim �zyazici was an Ottoman calligrapher and one of the last of the classical Ottoman calligraphers using the Arabic script. He was a versatile calligrapher with a high level of expertise in many styles of script but was widely regarded as a master jeli-thuluth. He is most noted for his work on various restoration projects of both manuscripts and public buildings. He was born Mustafa Abd�lhalim on 14 January 1898 in the Hazeki district of Istanbul. He was the son of Nalinci Haci Cem�l Efendi originally from Crimea and his mother was Sudanese. He was educated at G�lsen Junior High School where he was given lessons in calligraphy by Hamid Ayta� who recognised his talent and encouraged him to pursue calligraphy as a career. He later studied drawing and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul. His formal calligraphy studies were with Hasan Riza Effendi 1849-1920 and Kamil Akdik 1862-1941 where he mastered the thuluth nasih and riq� scripts. In 1916 he was drafted into the Army. After completing basic training he worked in the Military Printing Department and also worked in Evk�f-i Isl�miyye Printing Press. Following his discharge from the Army in 1924 he opened an office in B�bi�li Street The Sublime Porte where he prepared all types of calligraphy; business cards seals and book covers. He also taught in various schools around the Cagaloglu district of Istanbul. From 1927 he was employed in the Imperial Chancery. When the Latin alphabet replaced Arabic lettering in 1928 he applied to go to Egypt where classical calligraphy using Arabic script was still valued but his application was rejected in 1929. He subsequently abandoned calligraphy altogether. However during the 1940s his skills in classical calligraphy found an outlet when he became part of a major restoration project which worked on repairs to numerous manuscripts in a variety of styles and the restoration of calligraphic reliefs and monumental art in historic public buildings including many mosques. In 1948 he was appointed to the position of 'old writing teacher' at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul; a position he retained until his retirement in 1963. One of his responsibilities was to write the diplomas for those who were about to graduate from the Academy. He died on 30 September 1964 ten days after being involved in a traffic accident. He was buried in the Kozlu Cemetery. Although he developed expertise in many different types of script he was regarded as a master of jeli-thuluth script. He wrote a number of exercise books for students to practice scripts in nesih thuluth-nesih riq'a diw�n� and jeli diw�n� and which were part of a program designed to promote the art of calligraphy. These books are still being printed and distributed to students of calligraphy. <br/> <br/> pre-1928 paperback‎

He was born in 1807 in Constantinople Istanbul to a distinguished Phanariote family. His brother Pavlos Mousouros also became a diplomat. Mousouros became the first ambassador of the Ottoman Empire to the newly independent Kingdom of Greece in 1840 a position he kept until 1848. In 1847-48 he was a central figure in the events known as Mousourika which led to his temporary recall and the breakdown of relations between the two states. On his return to Athens he survived an assassination attempt leading to his transfer to Vienna. In 1850 he took up the post of Ottoman ambassador to the Great Britain and Ireland which he kept for 35 consecutive years until his retirement in 1885. During the same period he also served as ambassador to the Netherlands 1861-77 and Belgium 1861-75. In 1876-78 he was ex officio a member of the short-lived Senate of the Ottoman Empire. Well educated in 1883 Mousouros translated Dante's Divine Comedy into ancient Greek. He was married and had a son Stephanos Mousouros who later became Prince of Samos. Wikipedia. He is known as the first translator of Dante's Divine Comedy into modern Greek. Musurus Pasha had an intellectual identity. One of the most important occupations of Musurus Pasha in the last years was the translation of Dante's Divine Comedy from Italian to Greek. Being able to translate a work of Italian classics and masterpieces of western literature should be an indication of Musurus Pasha's performance and intellectual dimension. Due to negative statements about Muhammad and Ali in Dante's work the book was not allowed to be published within the Ottoman Imperial borders. Despite this Musurus Pasha asked him to be permitted to publish his translation but it was not accepted. Source: Bir Tanzimat diplomati Kostaki Musurus Pasa 1807-1891. NURDAN SAFAK.

‎LEYLA HANIM Turkish / Ottoman poetess ? 1848.‎

‎OTTOMAN POETESS in LITOGRAPH by BULAQ PRINTINGHOUSE Div�n-i Leyl� Hanim.‎

‎Istanbul: Bulaq Matbaasi AH 1260 1844. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7� - 9�" tall. In contemporary cloth bdg. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 17 cm. In Ottoman script. 43 59 p. Divan literature is described as "a certain tradition literature with its rules and boundaries" in the most general form. These rules and boundaries have enabled the formation of common expressions in religion and in Sufi intellection in particular and in poetry by the influence of Persian literature and they have made it traditional in time. In this context in classical Turkish poetry whose male poets are predominant in quality and quantity patriarchal rhetoric presents an outlook that its frame has been established by common tropes metaphors poetic themes and in short by similar imaginations and ideas. The divans of Lady Mihri died after 1512 Lady Leyla died in 1848 and Lady Seref 1809-1861 have different aesthetic understandings in that context. Layl� Hanim was one of the few Turkish women poets who made a collection of her poems. Lived in Istanbul and died in 1848. Her family was close to the Ottoman Sultanate and Leyl� Hanim witnessed the reign of Mahmud II 1808-1839 and Abd�lmecid I 1839-1861. She is the daughter of Moraliz�de H�mid Efendi. Her mother Had�ce Hanim is the sister of Ke�eciz�de Izzet Molla a notable bureucrat and poet of the times. She has three brothers At�ullah Mehmed Efendi Nurullah Mehmed Efendi and H�lid Efendi who died at a young age. She had financial problems after her father's death and she expressed those in her poems. Some of her poems in the divan mention that her father and brother H�lid Efendi have lived in Bursa for a while. She is educated by Ke�eciz�de Izzet Molla she is quick-witted. She experienced a short marriage which lasted about a week; after the divorce she devoted herself to poetry. Her grave is in Galata Mevlev�hanesi.

She had two sisters Fatma Aliye and Emine Semiye. She grew up in �amlica neighborhood of Istanbul. In later years she had to leave Istanbul and move to Anatolia with her family as her father was exiled resulted from his opposition to the despotism of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II reigned 1876-1909. At a young age she was married to Ahmet Sabri Ayg�n the first notary of Beyoglu. She was educated at home by special tutors. She was interested in literature inspired by her teacher Hodja Tahir Effendi a dictionary writer. She started to write in her very young age. However her teachers proposed her to better deal with the religious matters instead of poetry. Contrary to the pressures of her literature teacher she wrote her first novel M�nevver in her youth years in 1899. She wrote the novel in remembrance of her friend who died from tuberculosis. It was serialized in the newspaper Hanimlara Mahsus "For Ladies" and won well recognition. In 1901 two years later the novel was published as book and was also translated into Serbian language. Her husband felt discomfort by his wife's prominence. As her teachers' reaction was not enough her husband also objected to her writing. However her enthusiasm could not deter her from writing. It is understood that her husband tried to prevent her writing as he did not allow her to write already at the wedding. She was forced to continue writing at night or secretly. After a short time her husband died. The unexpected death of her husband left deep traces in her. G�zide Sabri became a female writer who remained lifelong unhappy having a sad life in the literature history. During this time the Servet-i F�nun "Wealth of Knowledge" movement formed by Recaizade Mahmud Ekrem 1847-1914 and his students left its mark on the literature.

In Ottoman script. 118 p. Divan literature is described as "a certain tradition literature with its rules and boundaries" in the most general form. These rules and boundaries have enabled the formation of common expressions in religion and in Sufi intellection in particular and in poetry by the influence of Persian literature and they have made it traditional in time. In this context in classical Turkish poetry whose male poets are predominant in quality and quantity patriarchal rhetoric presents an outlook that its frame has been established by common tropes metaphors poetic themes and in short by similar imaginations and ideas. The divans of Lady Mihri died after 1512 Lady Leyla died in 1848 and Lady Seref 1809-1861 have different aesthetic understandings in that context. Layl� Hanim was one of the few Turkish women poets who made a collection of her poems. Lived in Istanbul and died in 1848. Her family was close to the Ottoman Sultanate and Leyl� Hanim witnessed the reign of Mahmud II 1808-1839 and Abd�lmecid I 1839-1861. She is the daughter of Moraliz�de H�mid Efendi. Her mother Had�ce Hanim is the sister of Ke�eciz�de Izzet Molla a notable bureucrat and poet of the times. She has three brothers At�ullah Mehmed Efendi Nurullah Mehmed Efendi and H�lid Efendi who died at a young age. She had financial problems after her father's death and she expressed those in her poems. Some of her poems in the divan mention that her father and brother H�lid Efendi have lived in Bursa for a while. She is educated by Ke�eciz�de Izzet Molla she is quick-witted. She experienced a short marriage which lasted about a week; after the divorce she devoted herself to poetry. Her grave is in Galata Mevlev�hanesi.

Original manuscript autograph document signed by Mehmed Said Pasha sent to Trabzon Vilayat Ordu Kaza Hasbamane Nahiya local manager faziletlu 'Mehmed Ali Sevki Beyefendi'. 335x20 cm. Folded. 1 p. In Ottoman script. Mehmed Said Pasha was an Ottoman monarchist senator statesman and editor of the Turkish newspaper Jerid-i-Havadis. He supported the CUP the political party which came to power after the Ottoman coup d'�tat of 1913. His origin comes from 'Sebaz�de family' from Ankara. He became first secretary to Sultan Abdul Hamid II shortly after the Sultan's accession and is said to have contributed to the realizations of his majesty's design of concentrating power in his own hands; later he became successively minister of the interior and then governor of Bursa reaching the high post of grand vizier in 1879. He was grand vizier seven more times under Abdul Hamid II and once under his successor Mehmed V. He was known for his opposition to the extension of foreign influence in Turkey. n 1896 he took refuge at the British embassy in Constantinople and though then assured of his personal liberty and safety remained practically a prisoner in his own house. He came into temporary prominence again during the revolution of 1908.

‎SIMEON GUENTCHEFF & FRERES Bulgarian traders; HAMAMCIZADE NURI Ottoman / Turkish traders.‎

‎Autograph letter signed 'Nicolas Guentcheff' sent to Hamamcizade Nuri Ali.‎

‎Varna: Simeon Guentcheff & Freres Simeon' Genchev & Bratiia. 1927. Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9� - 12" tall. Original handwritten ALS. Sent to Hamamdjizades Hamamdji Zade Nouri Aly. Letterhead 'Simeon Guentcheff & Freres' as bilingual in Bulgarian and French. Dated 2.XI.1927. "Accusons r�ception de votre honoree du 25 m.p. sont le contenu nous tromous conforme aux commandes faites par votre M.eur Nicolas Guentcheff.". After that introduction there's a short list: Poissons: Scoumuri Palamond Toric. 'Tarama' 'Marmeredjik' and Charan Ak-cheir and Bandirma caviars. Haci Tahir Bey who came from Bah�esaray Bakhchysarai in the Crimea with his entire family was one of many refugees. And he faced all the difficulties both of exile and of resettlement. As soon as he arrived Tahir Bey found himself in the heart of Istanbul's commercial life; however carving himself a niche was easier said than done. At first he dealt in provisions; in 1859 he became a tobacco trader in the neighborhood of Langa Kapisi also known as Yeni Kapi in Istanbul. Soon unfortunately he found that established local merchants were unhappy with the competition and complained to the Municipality. In turn the Municipality ruled that provided they did not engage in illegal activities Tahir Bey and the rest of the refugees should be allowed to conduct their business unmolested. Just as he found no peace in his business dealings Tahir Bey was not left alone in Zekeriyak�y where he and his family had settled. According to members of the present generation of his family his home was attacked by some local gangs so that they were forced to move to neighboring Sariyer. Around the same time he moved his place of business to Unkapani and his son Ali Nuri married the daughter of the owner of the historical Public Bath hamam of Sariyer. The profession of Ali Nuri Bey's father-in-law gave the family its surname as well as a brand name that would command respect for more than a century. Ali Nuri Bey continued in his father's footsteps gradually becoming the kind of entrepreneur that the Ottoman Empire sorely needed. The 1880s witnessed his earliest ventures as he began to deal in provisions near Unkapani and established the first incarnation of what would later become Hamamcioglu M�esseseleri Ticaret T�rk A.S. in the form of a sole proprietorship located in the commercial building Limon Han in the T�t�ng�mr�k neighborhood of the district of Emin�n�. In 1885 his son Nuri Ali joined the firm. At this date a commercial yearbook makes mention of "Ali H." a dealer in oil and rice at No. 36 Cambazhane Avenue. While we are unable to determine for certain whether or not this listing refers to a member of the Hamamcioglu family the same commercial directory for the year 1896-1897 does refer to "Hamamcioglu Ali" as a merchant based at No. 85 Osman Efendi Han. Over the next few years the firm moved a number of times within the same building: thus it was listed at No. 75 in 18985 No. 3 in 19016 and No. 9 in 1909. Starting in the 1910s the firm Hamamcizadeler or as it is now known Hamamcioglu ventured into different business areas at different locations with a speed that makes it difficult to follow its precise trajectory. For example a receipt from the wholesale fish market dated 1911 points to the family's interest in seafood. On the other hand a document dated August 1914 now preserved in the Ottoman Archives orders that the olives in the warehouses belonging to Hamamcizade Ali Bey in the towns of Gemlik and Kursunlu should be guarded indicating that the firm had a rather broad range of interests within the food sector.8 A listing of businesses registered at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 1923 describes "Hamamci Zade Nuri Ali" still located in the commercial building Osman Efendi as dealing in "fish etc." 9 It is safe to assume that this qualification refers to all kinds of seafood -including salted fish dried fish caviar.
