Ridgeway, William
The Origin of Metallic Currency and Weight Standards
417 pages. Index. Appendices. Footnotes. List of sixty black and white illustrations. A rare surviving copy of this important reference, made all the more engaging by today's environment of competing fiat currency devaluations. "Hitherto Numismatists when stydying the Origines of Coinage had confined themselves to the materials presented to them in the earliest money of Lydia, Greece and Italy, and on the other hand the Metrologists had almost completely limited their range of observation to the systems of Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome. As the Comparative Method has yielded such excellent results in the study of other human institutions, I have endeavoured by its aid to get some new principles which may throw some fresh light on the first beginnings of monetary and weight systems." - from Preface. Attractive gilt decoration upon green front board. Legible gilt lettering upon backstrip. Average external soiling and wear. Several chips from and lengthy openings along backstrip which has become brittle with age. Narrow opening along most of front hinge. Back hinge open. Bookplate discretely removed inside front board. Unmarked. A tender but worthy copy. Book

Splendor & pageantry. Textile treasures from the Armenian Orthodox Churches of Istanbul.
New English Paperback. Pbo. 4to. (32 x 23 cm). In English. Color ills. 397 p. Splendor & pageantry. Textile treasures from the Armenian Orthodox Churches of Istanbul. "This collection of textile treasures of the Armenian Churches of Istanbul is being introduced to world textile historians and art lovers for the very first time. Like the items the book introduces, the book too is a treasure, not only for textile historians, but anyone cultivating an interest in the culture, art and religious forms of Anatolia and Anatolian Armenians. Over 170 plates illustrate the textile treasury of the Armenian Patriarchate in Istanbul that have been executed in embroidery, appliqué, techniques of textile printing, and painting. We are amazed by the love, devotion and unique experiences that women artisans stitched into these pieces, while a closer look leads us to understand that their artistic visions were rooted in, and developed out of, Eastern traditions. The book also provides a brief historical background of the Istanbul Patriarchate and its Istanbul churches, discusses the iconographies of the objects and describes their techniques of production. The reference catalogue is highly useful as a reference for scholars, while the translations of the inscriptions on the pieces open a window to all readers onto the personal lives of the people who contracted and gifted these items to the Church."

ALPAY PASINLI.
The book of Alexander Sarcophagus.
New New English Original bdg. HC. Oblong large 8vo. (23 x 21 cm). In English. 64 p., 25 color plates. "This small art book, after an introduction of the Royal Necropolis of Sidon, examines the faces and finally the lid of the Alexander Sarcophagus in detail. At the end of the book its decorative style and ornamentation is described. The Alexander Sarcophagus has been a major attraction of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum ever since it was founded in the late nineteenth century. Although named after Alexander the Great, the sarcophagus was not his, but was probably that of Abdalonymos, the last king of Sidon (Saida). Abdalonymos owed his throne to Alexander and the latter's close friend and general, Hephaistion. The subject matter of the reliefs decorating the sarcophagus suggests that Abdalonymos was here commemorating his benefactors; the sarcophagus thus takes its name, not from the ruler who commissioned it, but from its iconography.".

The Syrian Orthodox community in the mosaic of Istanbul.= Istanbul mozaiginde Süryaniler.
New English Original binding. Full imitation leather with embossing in the shape of gate of Süryani Kadim Meryem Ana Church. 4to. (31 x 23 cm). In Turkish, English and Syriac. 311 p. B/w and color ills. The Syrian Orthodox community in the mosaic of Istanbul.= Istanbul mozaiginde Süryaniler. This work was written with the intention of being a history of the past 162 years of the Istanbul Syrian Orthodox community describing its spiritual and social leaders both clergical and laymen i.e. patriarchs, metropolitans, patriarchal delegates, chorepiscopuses, and the monks and priests, deacons, teachers and the board of directors, all who gave their worthy service and their ministry activities to be presented to you, worthy readers; and we do so with great pleasure. Around the year 1844, under the leadership of Mor Korillos (Patriarch Yakup II.), a few Syrian Orthodox families settled in Istanbul. Today there are nearly three thousand Syrian Orthodox families who have created their own niche in the mosaic which is Istanbul. Through the warm relationship that they developed amongst the local people, and in full co-operation with other citizens, they have given service worthy of the honor and glory that is Great Istanbul with their rich cultural, business and industrial activities. Today the Istanbul Syrian Orthodox Diocese holds great importance among other Syrian communities throughout the world. Istanbul had an important place in the history of the Byzantines and the Ottomans and today continues to be an important city for Turkey and the world alike. It has also attracted the interest of Syrian Fathers since the time of the second Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople (modern day Istanbul) in the year 381 AD. During the Ottoman era, however, the Syrian patriarchs came to Istanbul to receive the firman (imperial edict) from the Ottoman Sultans in dealing with the affairs of the community.

ELÇIN MACAR.
Cumhuriyet döneminde Istanbul Rum Patrikhanesi.
Fine English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 13 cm). In Turkish. 357 p. Cumhuriyet döneminde Istanbul Rum Patrikhanesi. Türkiye'nin Cumhuriyet tarihi boyunca tabu addettigi konularin basinda gelen azinliklar konusu, özellikle doksanli yillarla birlikte Türkiyeli arastirmacilarin gündeminde eskisine oranla daha agirlikli bir yere sahip oldu. Genelde hâkim konumda olan ve defansif/milliyetçi kaygilarla konuyu ele alip, ideolojik bir karsi durusu korumaya çalisanlarin yanisira, yeni kaynaklara, yeni yaklasimlara kapi açan arastirmalar da var. Elçin Macar'in bu çalismasi, sadece "netameli" sayilmis bir konu olarak Istanbul Rum Patrikhanesi'nin Cumhuriyet tarihi içindeki serüvenini dile getirmekle kalmiyor; konunun hiçbir derinligi olmadan, günlük iç ve dis siyasî çekismelerle sinirli olarak ele alinis tarzini terk etmeyi öneren bir derinligi de tasiyor. Macar, bu kitabiyla iki milliyetçilik arasinda sikismis, ötekilesmis, ideolojik açidan suistimal edilmis bir kurum olan Istanbul Rum Patrikhanesi'ne, hem teorik hem de metodolojik açidan bugüne kadar egemen olan anlayistan farkli bir yaklasim getirmeyi amaçliyor ve yitirilmis dinsel çesitliligin yakin tarihteki izlerini sürüyor.

Byzantine manuscripts in Bucharest's collections.= Manuscrise bizantine în colectii bucurestene. Project coordinator: Ileana Stanculescu.
New English Original bdg. HC. Oblong 4to. (22 x 30 cm). In English and Romanian. 115, [140] p., fully color ills. Byzantine manuscripts in Bucharest's collections.= Manuscrise bizantine în colectii bucurestene. Project coordinator: Ileana Stanculescu. From the first article: "From the photographs taken over time, we chose those which best capture a special artistic quality with their strictly documentary value. This selection of manuscripts ends before the dawn of the 16th century, given the common view that after the fall of Constantinople (1453) we can no longer speak of a truly Byzantine culture, but only of a Byzantine style, albeit one which continued to shine. The selection of images was also intended to emphasize not only the aesthetics of the illuminated folios, but also those details that are significant for the codices as a whole, things which would dryly translate today as typeface font type, page layout and binding. Far from the sight of all interested parties, the Byzantine manuscripts in the Bucharest repositories are still full of mysteries waiting to be discovered and explained by researchers. We present these images here to provide a platform for a wider discussion of the significance of the Byzantine legacy for Romanian pre-modern culture. For the identification and description of the items chosen we used several catalogues, either manuscript or in print, which we then compared with the corresponding labels used by the repositories. The bibliography at the end of the volume indicates the various catalogues used for each collection. We found a wealth of details pertaining to the manuscript collections of the Romanian Patriarchy in the album published by the archimandrite Policarp. This is an excellent occasion to thank the specialists involved in the inventory of the collection for the additional information they supplied. We extend our warmest gratitude to them.Here and there we updated and corrected the information found in the aforementioned sources in the light of recent research: the dating of ms. sl. II 280, from the Library of the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church at the Antim Monastery. We thank Mrs Tatiana Popova (University of St. Petersburg in Severodvinsk), for the observation that we are dealing with a direct copy, made at the end of the 14th century, of the Russian metropolitan Kyprian's reworking (dated 1385) of the Ladder of John Climax. Ms. sl. II 280 belongs to a group of manuscripts kept at Antim Monastery, but originates from a collection in Slava Rusa, a settlement in Dobrogea and a known...".
