Only edition. - Rare account, by the French physician Paul Aubry, of Turkish military and civil hospitals, describing in detail their design and medical capacities, including accurate numbers of beds. An exceptional documentation of health care infrastructure in the Ottoman Empire, mentioning the Yildiz Ambulance, the Haider Pacha military hospital and the Haseki Hospital in Istanbul. The present offprint also contains a medical bibliography of works in German, Danish and Swedish published in 1886-87 as well as several abstracts, including an article on gonorrhoea by the Ottowa physician Coyteux Prévost, published in the "Union Médicale du Canada" in the same year. - Inscribed and signed by Aubry to Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1842-1918) on the front flyleaf.

Audubon, John James.
The viviparous quadrupeds of North America. New York, John James Audubon, 1845-1848.
3 vols. Large folio (70 x 55 cm). With 150 striking coloured plates, all lithographed on stone, printed and coloured by J. T. Bowen of Philadelphia, after drawings by John James and John Woodhouse Audubon, and the backgrounds after Victor Audubon. Each volume also with a title-page and a list of contents. Late 19th century black morocco, with gold-tooled spine, red cloth sides and marbled endpapers. First edition of the extraordinary coloured plates of quadrupeds by the world-famous French-American naturalist and painter John James Audubon (1785-1851), whose "Birds of America" was purchased at a Christie's auction for $11.5 million in March 2000, setting a world record for the most expensive book ever sold (surpassed only by the 1640 "Psalm Bay Book", sold for $14.2 million in November 2013). The plates in the present work are considered the finest animal prints ever published in America. Unlike the "Birds", it was produced entirely in the United States, making it the "largest successful color plate book project of 19th-century America" (Reese). - After the publication of his highly acclaimed "Birds of America", Audubon settled on the Hudson River and began working on the present series to document the animal life of North America. The plates were first published in 30 parts of 5 plates each, and three separately published accompanying text volumes, written by John Bachman, appeared between 1846 and 1854. A second edition was published in 1856, but "the first edition is by far the best" (Sabin). - Title-pages show some small scuff marks, a few plates with minor, unobtrusively repaired tears along the edges. Binding skillfully restored. A complete set, with most plates in fine condition. Nissen, ZBI 162. Buchanan, pp. 147-154. Reese 36. Sabin 2367. Cf. Howgego II, A19 (p. 15, 1846-54).

New Turkish Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 356 p. Islâm'in soku. XVIII. ve XIX. yüzyillar. [= Le Choc de l'Islam, XVIIIe - XXIe siècle]. Ce choc, est-ce celui du défi que l'islamisme lance à l'occident ou, plus largement, celui du retour de l'Islam que nous n'avions pas imaginé ? Comment l'expliquer, sinon comme un choc en retour des traumatismes que le monde de l'Islam a connus les siècles précédents ? À l'écoute de ses différentes Voix - moderniser l'Islam ou islamiser la modernité -, Marc Ferro confronte les points de vue et nous invite à un apprentissage sans complaisance. Pour comprendre les événements d'aujourd'hui; pour anticiper ceux de demain. Marc Ferro est directeur d'études à l'École des hautes études en Sciences sociales. Il est notamment l'auteur de Histoire de France, La Révolution de 1977, L'Histoire des colonisations, qui ont été de grands succès et ont été traduits dans de nombreuses langues.

AYBIKE AÇIKEL.
A prolonged residency: Syrian refugees' crises of integration into Turkey.
New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 151 p. A prolonged residency: Syrian refugees' crises of integration into Turkey. The conflict in Syria between the Asad regime and various opposition groups has, since its advent in 2011, turned into a full-scale civil war. Nearly half the population has been either internally or externally displaced, most of the latter to neighboring countries. Turkey, which is hosting the lion's share of Syrian refugees without foreign aid, can serve as an example to the world. In this effort, Turkey's ciizens are to be applauded for their hospitality towards the war victims. However, as time goes by most of the refugees show no sign of returning, thus creating problems that can only be resolved by the development of a long-term policy. The aim of this book is to investigate the level of understanding their permanence within Turkish society and to explore possible solutions for their permanent integration, For this purpose the Federal Republic of Germany was seen as an immigrant target country in which recent accelerated integration was taken as the model for the study. The applicability of its integration policy was examined for Turkey with the aim of presenting the National Integration Plan of the Federal Republic of Germany, the major dominating Germany's integration policy, as a possible model for future Turkish policy during the integration process.

AYDIN NURHAN.
Change in the Middle East and North Africa.
New English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 216 p. "With the end of the Cold War in the 1990s, many countries around the world entered a period of change and transformation. Yet, for the formation of a similar atmosphere, Middle Eastern countries have waited for the second decade of the 21st Century. The main reason for this delay has been the security-based policies of the Western countries in the region. Maturation of the global and local political conditions in the Middle East such as deepening poverty in the region, inappropriate training policies, the oppressive and exclusionary political regimes, increased opportunities for communication, and acceleration of the flow of goods, capital and human has made a similar change and transformation inevitable. Winds of change deepened the uncertainties about the region. At present, it is needless to say that global powers are struggling with might and main to reshape the region according to their interests. However, we must mention that changes that are likely to occur in the region have the capacity to influence the global international system".

La problematique du Moyen-Orient dans les relations transatlantiques.
New French Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In French. 166 p. La fin de la guerre froide est consideree çömme l'un des tournats des plus importants de l'historie des relations internationales. Au cours de cette periode, egalement connue sous le nom de Nouvel Ordre Mondial, les relations americaines et europeennes, qui se rencontrent dans la literatüre sous le nom de relations transatlantiques, ont ete reamenagees conformement a la politique a l'egard du Moyen-Orient. Au coeur des politiques qui semblent etre communes sur de nombreux points, differentes priorites et choix politiques sont inclus. Bien qu'il smeble que les desaccords sur les relations bilaterales se soient aggraves a la süite des attentats terroristes du 11 septembre, les Etats-Unis sont devenus une force pionniere hegemonique dans l'apres-guerre froide et les perceptions securitaries et strategiques dans le nouvel ordre mondial ont conduit a un conflit politique transatlantique. Dans ce livre, qui traite des relations translatlantiques sur l'axe de toutes ses evolutions, les approches americaines et europeennes a l'egard du Moyen-Orient sont presentees avec des divergences politiques ont ete ecrites notamment apres les attentats du 11 Septembre.

The work was compiled by Rizkallah Azoo, the Arabic Instructor to the board of examiners under the supervision of the secretary board of examiners at Fort William, Calcutta. - The book is divided into two parts, the first containing fables, anecdotes and narratives, travels of famous explorers (including Ibn Battuta and Sinbad the Sailor), and a final section on the travels of Sadiq Pasha to the Great Desert of Africa. Part two covers an extract from Kitab-ul-Wasitah, a description of Malta, and an account of European arts and sciences by Ahmed Faris Effendi, the editor of Al-Jawib. It concludes with some curious descriptions of Paris and London. - The standard examination of Arabic was a serious matter, affecting officers' roles and promotions in overseas territories. Failure to pass the elementary Arabic examination could result in deferment of appointments, and even the withholding of portions of an officer's salary. - Light exterior wear, otherwise well preserved. Rare: OCLC locates copies at Oxford and SOAS, as well as at the University of California (Berkeley) and seven additional libraries. OCLC 417302837.

Azpeitia de Moros, Luis.
En busca del caballo árabe. Comisión á Oriente. Turquia. - Siria. - Mesopotamia. - Palestina. Madrid, Sucesores de Rivadeneyra, 1915.
Large 8vo. 297, (7) pp. With photographic illustrations in the text throughout and a lithographed map showing the sailing route in blue. Original publisher's printed paper wrappers. Rare first edition in Spanish, in the original publisher's paper wrappers, of this important work on Arabian horses, describing a voyage made in 1904 of a Spanish commission to Turkey, Syria, Mesopotamia and Palestine, to observe thoroughbred Arabian horses. The party returned to Spain with 33 Percherons, of which 27 were considered to be first-class horses. In the present work, the Spanish cavalry commander Luis Azpeitia de Moros describes their journey, their contact and negotiations with the people there, and the horses they bought. Azpeitia's account is lavishly illustrated with photographs, all with Spanish captions printed below, of not only the areas they visited and their inhabitants, but also of the several horse specimens they bought, with their name and place of purchase in the printed captions. - The present work was used as reference source by Gladys Brown Edwards in her work on the history of the Arabian horse (The Arabian: War Horse to Show Horse) (Boyd/Paul, p. 11); an English translation of the work appeared in 2001 (In Search of the Arabian Horse), and an Arabic one was published in Riyadh in 2007 (Al-Bahth `an al-husan al-`Arabi). Altogether the very rare first edition of an important work on Arabian horses, even more rare when offered with its original wrappers, as the present copy, which are illustrated with drawings of scenes of the voyage. - Wrappers a little browned and somewhat foxed (including the edges), spine slightly damaged (especially at the head) and partly cracked. Some very minor foxing throughout, but otherwise still in good condition. A very rare work on Arabian horses.

Bachagha Aberrahman Ou Rabah, Algerian statesman.
Autograph Quotation signed ("Aberrahman Ou Rabah"). In French. No place or date.
Folio. 1 page. On uncut wove paper, bearing the Schoellers-Parole blind embossed seal, margins uncut. The original autograph contribution of Aberrahman ou Rabah to the Committee of the World League for Peace (Ligue Mondiale pour la Paix), a remarkable organization formed in 1925 with close ties to the League of Nations. The Committee itself was composed of such notaries as Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, King Carol II of Romania, John D Rockefeller, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein, who personally gathered the present manuscripts over the course of seven years (1925-32). Among the public figures who contributed to the project were dignitaries from the newly-created League of Nations' member states. "Our wish, we French Muslims of Algeria, like that of all Frenchmen, is the peace in dignity of France and the safeguarding of her global interests. But if this peace that we wish for so ardently might prove impossible, on a troubled day, the native Algerians would be, as we well know, in the front ranks of the defenders of the country. [Signed] Abberrahman Ou Rabah, Bachagha, Member of the Supreme Council of the Government, Member of the Chamber of Agriculture, Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour". Pax Mundi. Livre d'or de la paix. Enquete universelle de la Ligue mondiale pour la paix sous le haut patronage de son comite d'honneur avec l'approbation de la Societe des nations, du Bureau international du travail et de la Cour permanente de justice internationale.
