William M. Barton
Pascasius Justus Turcq: On Gambling
Hardcover, 284 pages, English & Latin , 240 x 170 mm, NEW, rounded spine, sewn, dust jacket, reading ribbon. ISBN 9789464447668. Pascasius Justus Turcq was born in the Flemish town of Eeklo. As a young man, he travelled through Spain before devoting himself to the study of philosophy and medicine in Italy. On gaining his doctorate, he returned north and settled in Bergen-op-Zoom, where he worked as a physician and eventually became the city?s mayor. He attended to William the Silent as one of the physicians who worked to save the Prince?s life after the assassination attempt of 1582. Alongside tales of gambling princes and perceptive accounts of the mental suffering experienced by problem gamblers, Pascasius? De alea is remarkable for its singular insights into 16th-century medical science. Basing himself on the authority of the ancient, late-antique and mediaeval traditions, Pascasius first fuses discrete theoretical systems into an innovative framework, allowing him to propose a novel description of compulsive gambling as a psychological disorder. Secondly, Pascasius articulates a series of pioneering cures. He describes this therapy in cognitive terms reminiscent of approaches to non-substance addiction in use today. On Gambling was routinely referenced in scholarship on gambling into the 18th century before disappearing almost entirely from view. Newly available here, with a critical Latin text and English translation, On Gambling epitomises the creative potential of 16th-century medical humanism.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, (1564-1616).
[FIRST TURKISH JULIUS CAESAR] Jül Sezar. Translated by Abdullah Cevdet [Karlidag], (1869-1932).
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In a contemporary creme cloth. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 165 p. Kütüphane-i Ictihad, Aded, 20. First Turkish edition of Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. Between 1908 and 1910, Abdullah Cevdet produced a large oeuvre of translations, including four translations of Shakespeare's tragedies: The translations of Hamlet and Julius Caesar (translated by Cevdet as Jül Sezar) were published in 1908, the same year as the declaration of the Second Constitution. [.] Nonetheless, Abdülhamid II seemed to be even less tolerant of the dissemination of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Julius Caesar, since they were about unjust rulers who were executed in the end. It is not surprising that the performances of these plays were subject to strict censorship in the Ottoman lands and banned (Paker 1986: 91). This could be shown as a reason why Abdullah Cevdet was able to publish the translations of these plays only after 1908, though he had finished translating Hamlet in 1902, Julius Caesar and Macbeth in 1904, and Romeo and Juliet in 1905 (Süssheim 1987). Due to the fact that Abdullah Cevdet was a culture-planner, his literary translations cannot only be judged on their "aesthetic" level. It will be discussed in this chapter that Abdullah Cevdet's translations of Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth could be read as critical texts directed against Abdülhamid II's absolutist regime. Due to the fact that the selection of source language and culture is an important factor in accounting for any kind of "translation policy", Abdullah Cevdet's selection of source language and culture needs to be questioned (Toury 2000: 202). Even though Abdullah Cevdet does not include Julius Caesar (translated by Abdullah Cevdet with the title Jül Sezar) among what he calls "the four inauspicious tragedies", it was the only play for which Abdullah Cevdet wrote an impressive preface, and it was the second play he translated and published after Hamlet. In a sense, special importance was attributed to Julius Caesar by Abdullah Cevdet for ideological reasons and it was also highly esteemed by other revolutionaries in the Union and Progress Party (Enginün 1979: 119). Abdullah Cevdet was an Ottoman-born Turkish intellectual and physician of ethnic Kurdish descent. He was one of the founders of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). In 1908, he joined the Democratic Party, which later on merged with the Freedom and Accord Party in 1911. He was also a translator, radical free-thinker, and an ideologist of the Young Turks until 1908. The son of a physician, and himself a graduate from the Military College in Constantinople as an ophthalmologist, Cevdet, initially a pious Muslim, was influenced by Western materialistic philosophies and came to oppose institutionalized religion, but thought that "although the Muslim God was of no use in the modern era, the Islamic society must preserve Islamic principles". He published the periodical Içtihat from 1904-1932, in which articles he used to promote his modernist thoughts. He was arrested and expelled from his country several times due to his political activities and lived in Europe, in cities including Vienna, Geneva and Paris. His poetry was linked with the Symbolist movement in France, and he received accolades from leading French authors like Gustave Kahn. Özege 9788. Four institutional copies in OCLC: 4026865.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, (1564-1616).
[FIRST TURKISH MACBETH] Makbes (Kütübhane-i Ictihad 23). Translated by Abdullah Cevdet [Karlidag], (1869-1932).
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In modern, handsome full brown morocco. Foolscap 8vo. (18 x 12.5 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 159 p. Extremely rare first Turkish translation of Macbeth, printed in Ottoman Cairo. Macbeth reflected Abdullah Cevdet's reaction against Hamidian despotism and his love and advocacy of liberty. One must also remember him as one of the founding members of the Party of Union and Progress - a secret organization that conspired to overthrow Abdülhamid's absolutist regime. The argument that Abdullah Cevdet's translation of Hamlet, Julius Caesar and Macbeth reflected his opposition to Abdülhamid II's absolute monarchy could be justified with the fact that the themes of the translated plays were perceived by the political authorities as threatening since they were about the murder of kings and heads of state. In Abdullah Cevdet's view, Macbeth is famous as a drama of "ambition for status" (hirs-i cah). Abdullah Cevdet was an Ottoman-born Turkish intellectual and physician of Kurdish ethnic descent, and one of the founders of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP). In 1908, he joined the Democratic Party that later on merged with the Freedom and Accord Party in 1911. He was also a translator, radical free-thinker, and ideologist of the Young Turks until 1908. The son of a physician, and himself a graduate from the Military College in Constantinople as an ophthalmologist, Cevdet, initially a pious Muslim, was influenced by Western materialistic philosophies and came to oppose institutionalized religion but thought that "although the Muslim God was of no use in the modern era, the Islamic society must preserve Islamic principles." He published the periodical Içtihat from 1904 to 1932, of which articles he used to promote his modernist thoughts. He was arrested and expelled from his country several times due to his political activities and lived in European cities including Vienna, Geneva and Paris. His poetry was linked with the Symbolist movement in France and he received accolades from leading French authors like Gustave Kahn. (Source: DR. ABDULLAH CEVDET'S TRANSLATIONS (1908-1910): THE MAKING OF A WESTERNIST AND MATERIALIST "CULTURE REPERTOIRE" IN A "RESISTANT" OTTOMAN CONTEXT; Ayluçtarhan, Sevda). "Between 1908 and 1910, Abdullah Cevdet produced a large oeuvre of translations, including four translations of Shakespeare's tragedies: The translations of Hamlet and Julius Caesar (translated by Cevdet as Jül Sezar) were published in 1908, the same year as the declaration of the Second Constitution.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, (1564-1616).
[FIRST TURKISH MERCHANT OF VENICE] Venedik taciri. Meshur Ingiliz muharriri Shakespeare'in ayni namdaki eserinden muktabes en mükemmel artislerin istirakiyle filme geçirilmis 5 kisimlik fevkalâde bir dram. 12 Mart Çarsamba aksami Saat 10-dan itibaren Elhamra Sinemasinda gösterilecektir. Translated by Örikagasizâde Hasan Sirri, (1861-1939).
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Full morocco in Ottoman style. Foolscap 8vo. (18,5 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 176 p. Extremely rare first Turkish translation of the Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare in book form. The Merchant of Venice (1885) and The Comedy of Errors (1886-87) were the earliest translations into Turkish by Hasan Sirri, which had the chance to be published in book form. Translators in the Ottoman era had to cope with three obstacles: cultural differences, difficulty in language, and censorship. Shakespeare's works were no exception, as Gönül Bakay argues "the early, Ottoman-period translators and producers expunged the negative imagery" (2004: np) of the Turks in his plays. Even The Merchant of Venice was banned because "it was believed that the theme would offend the Empire's (after 1923, the Republic's) Jewish population". The first play fully translated for print was actually the Merchant of Venice, published in 1885 in Turkish (Arabic letters - Ottoman script). There is a good deal of conjecture about the name of the translator: Only two initials appear on the book, H. and I. now claimed to be the first letter of the first name and the last letter of the last name of a Hasan Sirri. The translator of this book Örikagasizâde Hasan Sirri, (1861-1939), was an administrator and educator who grew up during the reign of Abdulhamid II and was in state service for almost forty years. He was the son of Turkish diwan poet Ahmet Nafiz Pasha and the father of author Nahid Sirri Örik. Özege 22638.; Only three copies in OCLC: 929866546 (NY Uni Lib.; Bogaziçi Uni Lib.; and Library of Congress. Karl Su?ssheim Collection, no. 1527).

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, (1564-1616).
[THE FIRST TURKISH TRANSLATION OF 'HAMLET' AFTER THE REPUBLIC] Danimarka prensi Hamlet (Cihan Edebiyatindan Nümuneler). Translated by Kâmuran Serif.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Slightly chipped on extremities of cover. Overall a good copy. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 71 p. First Turkish translation ever of Shakespeare's works after the proclamation of the Republic in Turkey (1923); the rare second Turkish edition in the literature. After 19 years from the first translation of Hamlet to Ottoman Turkish, the first Shakespeare publication in the Republican period was also a Hamlet: This book translated by Kâmuran Serif would also be the second and the last Shakespeare published, on the brink of the Alphabet Reform in 1928. The fact that the Hamlet translation of Kâmuran Serif was published in the "State Printing House" can be considered as a symbolic indicator of the patronage that both Hamlet and all the works of language and literature together with Shakespeare's works will find in the Republic of Ataturk. Özege 6775.; Türkçe Çeviriler Bibliyografyasi Dünya Edebiyatindan Çeviriler, 14509.; Only one copy in OCLC (Orient Institut) 1030919478 / 283805564.

William Thomas Moncrieff (1794-1857), English playwright and theatre manager [Thomas Simpson Cooke, Irish singer and composer]:
William Thomas Moncrieff English playwright and theatre manager. Autograph Letter Signed inviting to the Irish singer and composer Tom Cooke to collaborate on a production at the Victoria Theatre.
3 November 1835; Victoria i.e. the Victoria Theatre London. See the two men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. Aged and a little worn with short closed tear at head of the first leaf repaired with tape and the second leaf having a discoloration at one edge from tape used in mount. Signed ‘W. T. Moncrieff’. Casting interesting light on the production of melodramas in the ‘Surrey-side’ theatres. In an effort to induce him to collaborate with him on a production at the Victoria Theatre he begins: ‘My dear Cooke / Without wishing to interfere with any arrangement you may have made or may be contemplating to make - there can be no harm in my dropping a hint that the Proprietors here would be most happy to secure your Services at any time on your own terms - if at all within their means’. Such an arrangement would also please Moncrieff ‘as I have the idea of a Drama that I think very likely to prove quite as attractive as ever “My Poll and my Partner Joe†may prove.’ That play by J. T. Haines and with music by Jolly was a great success at the Royal Surrey Theatre in the same year. He ends by asking Cooke to ‘turn this over in hyour mind at your leisure and favor me with a line on the subject’. 3 November 1835; Victoria [i.e. the Victoria Theatre, London]. unknown

Williams, Carolyn D.
POPE, HOMER AND MANLINESS Some Aspects of Eighteenth-Century Classical Learning
240 pages; The conflict between masculine and feminine values in 18th century classical learning is problematic and controversial. In this book, Pope's Homer becomes a richly complex focus for new, gendered explorations into the nature of the masculine "rule". As the subject of this gendered reading, Pope's Homer emerges as the fissured relic of a struggle to preserve masculine dignity from the encroachments of feminine characters and values within the text, and of female readers and critics. This text brings a fresh viewpoint and much detailed research on classical and early modern literature to bear on gender studies' central issues, revealing that "masculinity" must here be seen not as an absolute standard, but as the product of unceasing conflict between competing and unstable models.

According to Barrett's entry in the Oxford DNB he returned from the Globe Theatre 'to the Princess's where he began work with Hall Caine on adapting The Deemster renamed Ben-my-chree 17 May 1888.
