He was elected Prince of the Romanian United Principalities on 20 April 1866 after the overthrow of Alexandru Ioan Cuza by a palace coup d'etat. In May 1877, he proclaimed Romania an independent and sovereign nation. The defeat of the Ottoman Empire (1878) in the Russo-Turkish War secured Romanian independence, and he was proclaimed King on 26 March [O.S. 14 March] 1881. He was the first ruler of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty, which ruled the country until the proclamation of a socialist republic in 1947. During his reign, Carol I personally led Romanian troops during the Russo-Turkish War and assumed command of the Russo/Romanian army during the siege of Plevna. The country achieved internationally recognized independence via the Treaty of Berlin, 1878 and acquired Southern Dobruja from Bulgaria in 1913. Domestic political life was organized around the rival Liberal and Conservative parties. During Carol's reign, Romania's industry and infrastructure were much improved, but the country still had an agrarian-focused economy and the situation of the peasantry failed to improve, leading to a major revolt bloodily suppressed by the authorities. He married Princess Elisabeth of Wied in Neuwied on 15 November 1869. They only had one daughter, Maria, who died at the age of three. Carol never produced a male heir, leaving his elder brother Leopold next in line to the throne. In October 1880 Leopold renounced his right of succession in favour of his son William, who in turn surrendered his claim six years later in favour of his younger brother, the future king Ferdinand. (Wikipedia). Mustafa Hasim Pasha, (1852-1920), was one of the Ottoman grand viziers of Georgian origin. He was son of Sheik Al-Islam Ahmed Muhtar, (1807-1882).

PERCY SMYTHE STRANGFORD, (8th Viscount - British nobleman and man of letters), (1825-1869).
Autograph letter signed 'Strangford'.
Very Good English Original autograph letter signed (ALS) by Percy Smythe Strangford, (1825-1869), about Heinrich Julius Klaproth's manuscript, saying it was translated from a Russian book, "officially confided to him when at Turkestan in 1805 or thereabouts". 18x11,5 cm. In English. 30 lines in 2 p. Letterhead in Persian beneath a coronet, dated 19 November 1868. Heinrich Julius Klaproth, (1783-1835), was a German linguist, historian, ethnographer, author, orientalist, and explorer. As a scholar, he is credited along with Jean-Pierre Abel-Rémusat, with being instrumental in turning East Asian Studies into scientific disciplines with critical methods. Percy Ellen Algernon Frederick William Sydney Smythe, 8th Viscount Strangford, (1825-1869), was a British nobleman and man of letters. He was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, the son of the 6th Viscount Strangford, the British Ambassador, Ottoman Turkey, Sweden, and Portugal. During all his earlier years Percy Smythe was nearly blind, in consequence, it was believed, of his mother having suffered very great hardships on a journey up the Baltic Sea in wintry weather shortly before his birth. His education began at Harrow School, whence he went to Merton College, Oxford. He excelled as a linguist and was nominated by the vice-chancellor of Oxford in 1845 a student-attache at Constantinople. While at Constantinople, where he served under Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Smythe gained a mastery not only of Turkish and its dialects but of almost every form of modern Greek, from the language of the literati of Athens to the least Hellenized Romaic. He had already a large knowledge both of Persian and Arabic before going east, but until his duties led him to study the past, present, and future of the sultan's empire he had given no attention to the tongues which he well described as those of the international rabble in and around the Balkan peninsula. On succeeding his brother as Viscount Strangford in 1857 he continued to live in Constantinople, immersed in cultural studies. At length, however, he returned to England and wrote a good deal, sometimes in the Saturday Review, sometimes in the Quarterly Review, and much in the Pall Mall Gazette. A rather severe review in the first of these organs of the Egyptian Sepulchres and Syrian Shrines of Emily Anne Beaufort (1826-1887) led to a result not very usual, the marriage of the reviewer and the author. Percy Smythe was president of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1861-64 and 1867-69.

Throughout the 1930s when the Building of School Political Sciences constituting the subject of the study was constructed, the International Architectural Style conveyed to Turkey by means of architects coming from Germany-speaking countries had a growing impact in the country.

In her works, she mostly dealt with women's rights and the place of women in society, and occasionally worked on mystical themes. She's famous for her children's books. Many female writers have adopted male noms-de-plume, or otherwise gender-ambiguous pseudonyms, for a number of reasons: to publish without prejudice in male-dominated circles; to experiment with the freedom of anonymity or to encourage male readership. Cahit Uçuk, in his memoirs about the difficulties of being a woman writer in the world of men, could not keep a secret behind the name that everyone thought belonged to a man, and Bab-i Âlî [i.e. the street in Istanbul where publishers gathered in the Ottoman Empire] soon learned that she was a very beautiful woman.

SIBTU'L-MARDINÎ [BADR AL-DÎN MUHAMMAD B. MUHAMMAD B. AHMAD AL-MARDÎNÎ], (Egyptian mathematics and astronomy scholar), (1423-1493).
[ASTRONOMY - MATHEMATICS - ARABIC MANUSCRIPT: JAYB & MUQANTARÂT; SINUS & ALMUCANTAR QUADRANT] Hadhâ risâle-i rüb'u mukantarât, Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb taraf, Hadha mukharrar latashich al-shaat fî taraf al-cayb min al-rub'u' mu'âl-ihtizâr.
Very Good Arabic Original manuscript without binding. 12mo. (16 x 11 cm). In Arabic. [40] p., drawings, and tables. Marginal texts additionally. A linear wormhole on the bottom from beginning to the end, the thread in the spine is broken hence two separate parts. Otherwise a good copy. Rare manuscript compiled from works related to astronomical instruments written by probably Sibtu'l-Mardînî, copied anonymously in the early 19th century on the paper with 'ahar' with four marginal drawings and tables. The copier of this manuscript is not described. An 'Ebced' notes on the last blank page. The manuscript starts with a calendar in the Islamic system which is prepared with red and black inks and annotated info around the table. The first part includes how to use an almucantar, directions on the sphere, location of the stars in the sky. On the last two pages, the author describes the preparation of an almucantar. The second part is titled "Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb tarafi" [i.e. Tractate on the South direction], and the third and last part titled " Hadhâ risâle-i cenûb taraf, Hadha mukharrar latashich al-shaat fî taraf al-cayb min al-rub'u' mu'âl-ihtizâr", includes some 'sinus mathematics' with two impressive tables on the opposite page. Sibt al-Maridini, the full name Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Ghazal (1423-1493), was an Egyptian-born astronomer and mathematician. His father came from Damascus. The word "Sibt al-Maridini" means "the son of Al-Mardini's daughter". His maternal grandfather, Abdullah al-Mardini, was a reputed astronomer of the eighth century AH. He was a disciple of the astronomer Ibn al-Majdi (d. 850/1506). Sibt al-Mardini taught mathematics and astronomy in the Great Mosque of al-Azhar, Cairo. He was also a timekeeper (muwaqqit) of the mosque. He wrote no fewer than fifty treatises in astronomy (sine quadrants, sundials, astronomical tables, and prayer times) and wrote at least twenty-three mathematics textbooks. Al-Sakhawy counted two hundred books that were written by Sibt al-Mardini, on Islamic law, astronomy, and mathematics. Libraries that specialize in ancient manuscripts, all over the world, have transcripts of his works. Sibt al-Mardini's declared that "the opinion of the muezzins (those who call people to prayer) is less correct than that of the legal scholars and it is the latter that should be used as the basis for the determination of prayer time". (Wikipedia). Sib? al-Maridini was a prolific author of astronomical texts, which were still being used and studied into the 19th century. Little is known with certainty about his life. It is thought that he grew up in Damascus, where his maternal grandfather, Abd Allâh ibn Khalîl ibn Yûsuf Jamâl al-Dîn al-Mâridînî (died: 1406), was the muwaqqit (timekeeper) in charge of regulating the daily rituals of the Islamic community) of the Umayyad Mosque. Later he traveled to Cairo, where tradition places him as a student of Ibn al-Majdî. Sib? al-Mâridînî wrote extensively on mathematics and mathematical astronomy. Like his grandfather, he was especially interested in astronomical instruments. The bio-bibliographical sources list some 25 treatises, many of which exist today in multiple copies. According to the historian al-Jabarti (died: 1822), Sib? al-Mâridînî's works on mîqât (ritual timekeeping) and astronomical instruments were still being studied in the curriculum of Cairo's al-Azhar, one of the preeminent educational institutions in the Islamic world, at about the beginning of the 19th century.

"In the first part of the work on spiritual medicine, verses, prayers, talismans, and magic formulas in the Islamic culture like "wafqs" that are believed to be treated; in the second part, on physical medicine, drug formulas from various material objects for physiological diseases are shown." (Çagrici). Harputî was an 18th-century poet and prose from Harput (Kharberd).

Despite this, the text was widely used in Ottoman medicine in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Unleserlich [VERFASSER]; Johann Baptist BOLZA. Freiherr von. Truchsess (vermutl. Finanzbeamter) am Hof Maria Theresias [GEGENZEICHNUNG]:
Schriftstück der K.k. Hofkammer an die Banater Landesadministration betreffend der Bezahlung von Medikamenten für erkrankte Kolonisten. Unterschrift und Gegenzeichnung, Papiersiegel mit blindgeprägtem kaiserlichem Wappen und Adressierung.
Das Temescher Banat war nach der Eroberung durch Habsburgische Truppen unter Führung von Prinz Eugen von Savoyen im Jahr 1718 bis 1778 eine direkt dem Herrscherhaus gehörende Kron- und Kammerdomäne. Das Gebiet wurde von der Banater Landesadministration verwaltet, die in Geldangelegenheiten der Wiener Hofkammer, der zentralen Finanzbehörde der Monarchie, unterstellt war. Kolonisten aus verschiedenen Teilen der Monarchie waren zur Urbarmachung des teils sumpfigen Landstrichs angesiedelt worden. Viele davon erkrankten vor allem an Malaria, weshalb die Sanitätskommission der Banater Landesverwaltung Apotheken einrichten und auf Kosten der Hofkammer Medikamente verabfolgen ließ. Im Hof-Schematismus auf 1773 wird der vorliegendes Schriftstück gegenzeichnende Johann Baptist Freiherr von Bolza als Truchseß aufgeführt. Sein Bruder Johann Peter war seinerzeit einer der höchsten Finanzbeamten des Hofs. - Transkription des Texts: „Von der römisch. Kais. Zu Hungarn und Böheme / Königl.

Johann Joseph Wenzel RADETZKY von Radetz (1766-1858), Feldmarschall und Generalgouverneur von Lombardo-Venetien:

Joseph Wenzel Graf Radetzky, der wohl bedeutendste österreichische Heerführer in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, war ab 1831 Oberbefehlshaber der österreichischen Armee im Königreich Lombardo-Venetien, wo er 1848/49 die im Sog der Märzrevolutionen sich gegen die österreichische Vorherrschaft erhebende italienische Unabhängigkeitsbewegung niederschlug. Bis zu seinem Tod im Jahr 1857 blieb er auch Generalgouverneur und lenkte aus Mailand und später Verona auch die militärische Verwaltung des Gebietes. In dieser Funktion verfasste er die hier vorliegenden 4 Dienstbriefe an Franz Edlern von Stock, in den Jahren 1848 bis 1851 dortselbst als »Militär-Verpflegs-Verwalter« bzw. nach seiner Beförderung als leitender Referent der Abteilung für Verpflegung im K. k. Landes-Militär-Kommando tätig. In den Briefen behandelt Radetzky (1) die Auszeichnung Stocks mit der „Civil-Verdienst Medaille“, (2) dessen Beförderung zum Sektionsrat und »Verpflegs-Oberverwalter« und (3) eine Gehaltsaufbesserung um ein „Quartiergeld von jährlichen Vierhundert Gulden“. Ausserdem forderte er Stock (4) dazu auf, seine adelige Abstammung zu belegen, widrigenfalls die „Leibehaltung" einer Kutsche, die der Familie Stock zur Verfügung stand, aufgekündigt werden müsse. – Darüber hinaus liegt dem Konvolut (5) ein in undatiertes und -signiertes Mundartgedicht in Versen mit dem italienischen Titel „Il dolce far niente“, indem ein lern- und arbeitsunwilliger junger Mann als lyrisches Ich seine Freude am Nichtstun bzw. an Wein, Weib und Gesang bekennt. Das Gedicht ist in anderer Hand abgefasst. – Erhaltung: Die Bögen stellenweise mit kleinen Randeinrissen und und gering fleckig, letzte Seite von Brief [3] mit kurzen, datierten (1852 – 1857) Notizen. – Literatur: Militär-Schematismus des österreichischen Kaiserthums, Jg. 1848, S. 484, Jg. 1850, S. 31 und S. 598.

Adolf LOOS:
INS LEERE GESPROCHEN 1897-1900. [Author's presentation copy inscribed to Eva Steiner (Benesch)].
Author's presentation copy for Eva Steiner of Adolf Loos' seminal collected essays on architecture and life style. – Inscription, Provenance: Present copy of the first edition and first imprint of »Ins Leere gesprochen« (Spoken into the Void), a collection of essays and critical reviews by Adolf Loos (1870-1923), the influential pioneer of modern architecture and life style, bears a signed presentation inscription with black ink by the author's hand, reading: „Meiner lieben Freundin / Eva Steiner / Weihnachten 1921 / Adolf Loos“ (To my dear friend / Eva Steiner / Christmas 1921 / Adolf Loos) on the free endpaper recto. Eva Steiner (1905-83) was the daughter of artist Lilly Steiner and entrepreneur Hugo Steiner, whose celebrated »Haus Steiner« in Vienna, one of the first completely modern dwellings worldwide and important meeting point for Vienna modernists in architecture, literature, music and visual arts, had been designed and constructed by Loos in 1910. In 1934 Eva Steiner married Otto Benesch (1896-1964), a distinguished art historian, early patron of Schiele. Branded a „half-jew“ after the »Nuremberg Laws«, Eva had to flee the Nazis to France, Britain and finally the U.S., together with her husband Otto, who taught at Harvard and Yale. Back in Vienna, Otto Benesch became director of the Albertina Museum, a position he held until 1961. Over all his career Eva Benesch contributed heavily to her husband's publishing, and not only managed but also revised his intellectual bequest and collections for two decades. Stamp of „Nachlass Otto und Eva Benesch“ (Otto and Eva Benesch estate) with the stamped remark „unveräusserlich unentlehnbar“ (not for sale, not borrowable) on front paste down. – Content, Edition: Present texts were originally published in 1898 in the Vienna newspaper »Neue Freie Presse«. Because of Loos' radical criticism of the highly decorative style of the Vienna Secession it took until 1921 for them to be published. Present first imprint of the book had a print run of only 100 copies. – Condition: Top edge with minor stains, pictorial owner's stamp on title page, otherwise fine indeed. – Rarity: Autographs of Loos are of extreme rarity. JAP/APO and RBH mention only 2 of them for the last ca. 30 years at auction (207,2008).
