ALPER MARAL, MARK LINDLEY.
Techniques of 20th-Century Turkish contemporary music. An introduction survey.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (27 x 20 cm). In English. 73 p. For Turkish composers then and for quite after a while afterwards, to write "contemporary" music meant to adopt European techniques and follow European models, though with a few adjustments accommodating local tastes and institutions. But gradually in the latter half of the century a tendency to become pathfinders and not just follow Western trends emerged among some composers whose Western orientation was influenced more by American than by European schools. This book describes, with representative examples in musical notation, a series of compositional techniques that were hallmarks of this broad development.

EUGENIA POPESCU-JUDETZ.
Three comparative essays on Turkish music.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 180 p. This book scrutinizes three different theoretical aspects of Ottoman sources. The first essay discusses the principles of makam classification proposed by diverse Ottoman writers and compares their ideas within socio-cultural setting. The resulting analogies and polarities are outlined in order to emphasize the essential ideas in the perspective of musical creativity. The second essay explores Dimitrie Cantemir's compositions and establishes the authenticity of the pieces that have circulated in the general repertory of Turkish classical music under his signature. The provenance of the compositions evidences the way written and oral sources crossed borders and combined as to further generate new materials out of a commixture of original and derivative elements. In essence, oral tradition has interacted and interfered in forming Cantemirian repertory adding versions and variants that were transmitted independently and were accepted as authoritative creations by the community of musicians and the public of music lovers. The third essay evokes the personality of Hasan Talat Bey of Bebek, a remarkable patron of musicians and collector of music, who sponsored weekly musical gatherings in his mansion. There gathered frequently the music makers, creators and performers of songs and instrumental pieces. The happening of music gatherings was memorialized in the tablets with written music and decorative embellishments the host used to offer the guests as souvenirs. In addition, the discussion includes the survey of the song collection owned by Hasan Talat with title entries.

KEMALETTIN KUZUCU, M. SABRI KOZ.
Turkish coffee. Translated by Mary Priscilla Isin.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Oblong 8vo. (15 x 16 cm). In English. Color and b/w ills. 272 p. Coffee has played an important part in Turkish life for 500 years. Although it originated in Ethiopia and was later introduced to Yemen in the Arabian peninsula, neither of these countries supply the world with coffee today. Both places are remembered only in accounts of coffee's history, which is interwoven with legend. For a long time the world coffee trade has been in the hands of international trading companies that purchase the raw or roasted beans from distant countries. Although tea has brought about a decrease in coffee drinking in Turkey, in recent years the arrival of international coffee brands and coffee house chains has sparked off a slow revival.

History of Ottoman coins.= Osmanli sikkeleri tarihi. Vol. 2.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. [10], [iv], 440-767 pp. Color ills. The 2nd volume of "History of Ottoman Coins" focuses on and examines the coins of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent. The basic difference between our 1st and 2nd volume is that the former reflects the economical life of the first 150 establishment years of the Ottoman Empire, while the latter reflects the economical life of later years; that is, after the State turns into an Empire. The variations in the monetary units, which had initiated with Sultan Selim the Grim but was not properly settled due to the Sultan's short reign, was satisfactorily applied during the reign of Sultan Suleyman. Consequently, the 2nd volume of our book, which is solely dedicated to the coins of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent, explains all about the changes and innovations in the monetary system of his reign. This 2nd volume of the book intended to be completed in 8 volumes, provides detailed information on Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent's Chronological history Historical milestones and Coins of his 46-years reign The volume comprises photos related to the 700 golden and silver coins struck during Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent's reign, provides regional historical background of the 63 cities the coins were issued, and examines in detail the features of the coins minted in those cities.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. [10], [vii], 769-1111 pp. Color ills. The 3rd volume of the book "History of Ottoman Coins" studies in detail the coins of Sultan Selim II and Sultan Murad III. As of mid 16th century, the Ottoman Empire, which had successfully completed its establishment and had turned into an Empire encompassing three continents, had not been able to develop an internally consistent economical structure. In 1566 (H974), when Sultan Selim II acceded to the throne, the Empire was facing various difficulties disturbing the peace in both the Anatolian and Rumelia communities. On top of all these problems, the expenditures spent for the interminable western and eastern wars, laid during the second half of the 16th century, culminated in an irresolvable situation in the existing economic constriction. Devaluating akches was the only solution for the desperate government. The 3rd volume of our book studies the coins struck by the Empire under prevailing conditions. This volume of the book, expected to be completed in 9 volumes, gives useful information on Sultan Selim II and Sultan Murad III, conveying Chronological events of their 29 years reign Major historical milestones in their reign Coins of the Sultans explained in detail The volume includes the pictures of 200 silver and gold coins of Sultan Selim II and 350 coins of Sultan Murad III. Furthermore, this section comprises also the regional history related to the 60 cities striking this epoch's Ottoman coins, describing the characteristics of the coins struck in those cities. The last section of the book depicts a coin inventory related to the Sultans.

History of Ottoman coins.= Osmanli sikkeleri tarihi. Vol. 4.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. 360 p. Color ills. The 4th volume of the book "History of Ottoman Coins" studies in detail the coins of Sultan Mehmed III and Sultan Ahmed I. Under the influence of the military, economic and social structure, the Ottoman money system naturally moved towards a new process by the end of the 16th century. This process lasted approximately one hundred years during the 1600s and struck a heavy blow to the Ottoman financial structure. The Ottoman mines, which were unable to compete with the cheap silver ore that Europe obtained from America, began to shut down one after another. This was followed by the shutdown of mints. Thus, the coins of Mehmed III and Ahmed I, the early sultans of this period, were struck under these difficult conditions. This volume of the book, expected to be completed in 9 volumes, gives useful information on Sultan Mehmed III and Sultan Ahmed I, conveying Chronological events of their 22 years reign Major historical milestones in their reign Coins of the Sultans explained in detail The volume includes the pictures of 270 silver and gold coins of Sultan Mehmed III and 200 coins of Sultan Ahmed I. Furthermore, this section comprises also the regional history related to the 40 cities striking this epoch's Ottoman coins, describing the characteristics of the coins struck in those cities. The last section of the book depicts a coin inventory related to the Sultans.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. 420 p. Color ills. Ottoman Sultans: Suleiman II - Ahmed II - Mustafa II - Ahmed III - Mahmud I. From the end of the sixteenth century onwards, various administrative, military, industrial, commercial, financial and social developments, which occurred within the boundaries of the Ottoman state and throughout the world, were instrumental in exacerbating the economic problems of the Ottoman Empire.These developments which greatly affected coin minting can be summarized briefly as follows:The silver crisis that emerged due to the closure of the silver mines in the 17th century in the Ottoman Empire was also a factor causing the collapse of the Ottoman monetary system. The standards of the coins produced at the mints outside of Istanbul started to degrade and the state was not able to inspect the fineness and measures of the coins due to the weakness of the central authority. The state which could not control the mints under these difficult circumstances ended the operations of many of them. While the number of mints producing coins had been above 50 at the beginning of the century, as of the mid-17th century the number of active mints came down to less than 10 as indicated in the list below.The present volume of this work, which is expected to be completed in nine volumes, covers the reigns of sultans Mustafa I, Osman II, Murad IV, Ibrahim and Mehmed IV, and contains:Year-by-year chronological information regarding the 67 years of these sultanates; the most significant historical developments of this period; detailed information on coins. This volume includes the details of 28 coins of Sultan Suleyman II, 18 coins of Sultan Ahmed II, 104 coins of Sultan Mustafa II, 346 coins of Sultan Ahmed III and 335 coins of Sultan Mahmud I; i.e. 831 gold and silver coins.

History of Ottoman coins.= Osmanli sikkeleri tarihi. Vol. 7.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 21,5 cm). In English and Turkish. 420 p. Color ills. Ottoman Sultans: Osman III - Mustafa III - Abdülhamid I - Selim III - Mustafa IV. The Ottoman Empire was endowed with the power of creating one of the most extensive numismatic histories of the world by having coins minted at more than 130 mints as of the 14th century. However, the fact that the Ottoman coins had presence in very few mints whose collective number did not exceed the number of fingers in one hand as of the mid-18th century is the most obvious indicator of the crucial changes in the Ottoman history and economy. These developments which greatly affected coin minting can be summarized briefly as follows: The provinces, where gold or silver coins were minted in addition to Istanbul, were limited with Baghdad, Algeria, Egypt, Tripoli and Tunisia from the enthronement of Sultan Osman III, the 25th Ottoman sultan, to the end of the Empire. Two common features catch the eye when we analyze the history of these provinces that were very critical for the Ottoman Empire. The present volume of this work, which is expected to be completed in nine volumes, covers the reigns of sultans Osman III, Mustafa III, Abdulhamid I, Selim III and Mustafa IV, and contains: Year-by-year chronological information regarding the 54 years of these sultanates; The most significant historical developments of this period; Detailed information on coins. This volume includes the details of 71 coins of Sultan Osman III, 460 coins of Sultan Mustafa III, 401 coins of Sultan Abdulhamid I, 409 coins of Sultan Selim III and 56 coins of Sultan Mustafa IV; i.e. 1478 gold and silver coins. Additionally, the book provides the local history of all provinces which issued coins during these reigns and examines the characteristics of the coins minted in these provinces. An inventory of the coins belonging to the sultans is provided at the end of the book.

EUGENIA POPESCU-JUDETZ.
A summary catalogue of the Turkish makams. With a CD.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. 164 p. For over three decades I had the opportunity to research on Ottoman musical writings in the Turkish libraries and to consult private collections. Concurrently, I was able to study Ottoman musical manuscripts kept in libraries outside Turkey. Along those years of research I carried out persistent investigations that gave me access to a large number of Ottoman materials ranging from the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. As a result of examining numerous musical manuscripts in Ottoman Turkish literature I discerned the commonplace of themes in the majority of writings and evaluated their structure at formal and generative level. Moreover, I was able to ascertain the significant purport of certain sources over others and to compare several versions of the texts. The idea of this catalogue evolved gradually in my mind from the perception that an explicit presentation of the makams would constitute a valuable reference both for evaluating the historical process of creating and performing music, as well as for establishing the inventory of modal categories and their taxonomic relations. As time passed, I was able to determine the development of a genuine Turkish concept in works that provided descriptive and analytical matter, and to detect through manuscript lines the significance of the process involving the semantics of the practice of music at different periods. The present book is mainly focused upon the practical theory of the makams reflected in the production and performance of the melodic scales the way they are described in Ottoman manuscripts.

Fountains in Ottoman Istanbul.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Oblong large 8vo. (24 x 22 cm). In English. 216 p. Color ills. Many excellent studies of the fountains of Istanbul have been carried out in the past, and these provide valuable documentation and inventories of the city's fountains which are disappearing steadily one by oneo complement its predecessors by encompassing all the fountains built in the Ottoman Empire's last capital between the fifteenth and twenthieth centuries, presented in chronogical order, in the framework of a consistent typological analysis, and accompanied by photographs, drawings and other available visual documentation. The authors examine changes in style in Ottoman architecture over these five centuries in the context of fountains, so contributing not only to literature specifically on the subject of fountains, but also to the evolution of the Ottoman architectural identity, thereby filling an serious gap in literature on the subject.
