He was a man of liberal outlook and wide learning, with a full mastery of the ancient languages. He became one of the greatest scholars of Zoroastrianism in our time.

Nesin was a Turkish writer, humorist and the author of more than 100 books. Aziz Nesin was a political activist. After the 1980 military coup led by Kenan Evren, the intelligentsia was oppressed. Aziz Nesin led a number of intellectuals to rebel against the military government, by issuing the Petition of Intellectuals (Turkish: Aydinlar Dilekçesi). He was the President of the Türkiye Yazarlar Sendikasi (Turkish Writers' Union). Reza Hemrah who translated Aziz Nesin's "Bir Ölünün Hatiralari", "Saçkiran", "Kimliksiz Adam", "Gidigidi" and many other works into Persian has an important position in reputation of Aziz Nesin in Iran. Nearly half of works of Aziz Nesin translated into Persian belongs to Reza Hemrah. Hemrah translation attracted considerable attention by 1960s and 1970s. Persian media has some doubts about whether Reza Hemrah's translations are authentic or not. According to criticisms, when the books of Hemrah were banned by government of that time, writer published his own books in the name of Aziz Nesin. To another criticism, Hemrah compiled Aziz Nesin's works by reading his books or asking for his friends to read them and published again. (Yesim Isik). First and Only Persian Edition. This the second translation of Aziz Nesin to Persian language and in Persian literature. "Tabq muqarrat" means in Persian "According to the rules". First one was in 1965 by Samad Bahrangi.

‎[EARLY TURKISH EDITION OF 'THE SEVEN BEAUTIES'] Tercüme-i hikâye-i Heft Peyker. 7 volumes set. Translated by Emin Yümnî.‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original cloth bdg. with traditional embossings. Foolscap 8vo. (17 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. First Ottoman Edition. 7 volumes full set in one volumes: (112 p.; 112 p.; 111 p.; 111 p.; 111 p.; 111 p., 111 p.). Hejra: 1289 = Gregorian: 1872. Özege: 20613. Haft Paykar "The Seven Beauties" (1197) (also called Bahram-Nama). A pre-Islamic story of Persian origin, it was dedicated to the ruler of Maragha, 'Ala' Al-Din korp Arslan. It is the story of Bahram V, the Sassanid king, who is born to Yazdegerd after twenty years of childlessness and supplication to Ahura Mazda for a child. The Haft Paykar is a romanticized biography of the Sasanian Persian empire ruler Bahram Gur. His adventurous life had already been treated by Ferdowsi in the Shahnama, to which fact Nezami alludes a number of times. In general, his method is to omit those episodes that the earlier poet had treated, or to touch on them only very briefly, and to concentrate on new material. The poet starts by giving an account of the birth of Bahram Gur and his upbringing in the court of the Arab King No'man and his fabled palace Khwarnaq. Bahram whose upbringing is entrusted to Nom'man becomes a formidable huntsman. While wandering through the fabled palace, he discovers a locked room which contains a depiction of seven princesses; hence the name Haft Paykar (seven beauties). Each of these princesses is from the seven different climes (traditional Zoroastrian-Islamic division of the Earth) and he falls in love with them. His father Yazdegerd I passes away and Bahram returns to Persia to claim his throne from pretenders. After some episodes he is recognized as King and rescues the Persians from a famine. Once the country is stable, the King searches for the seven princesses and wins them as his brides. His architect is ordered to construct seven domes for each of his new brides. The architect tells him that each of the seven climes is ruled by one of the seven planets (classical planetary system of Zoroastrian-Islamic world) and advises him to assure good fortune by adorning each dome with the color that is associated with each clime and planet. Bahram is skeptical but follows the advice of the architect. The princesses take up residence in the splendid pavilions. On each visit, the king visits the princesses on successive days of the week; on Saturday the Indian princess, who is governed by Saturn and so on. The princesses names are Furak (Nurak), the daughter of the Rajah of India, as beautiful as the moon; Yaghma Naz, the daughter of the Khaqan of the Turks; Naz Pari, the daughter of the king of Khwarazm; Nasrin Nush, the daughter of the king of the Slavs; Azarbin (Azareyon), the daughter of the king of Morocco; Humay, the daughter of the Roman Caesar; and Diroste (wholesome), a beautiful Iranian princess from the House of Kay Ka'us. Each princess relates to the king a story matching the mood of her respective color. These seven beautifully constructed, highly sensuous stories occupy about half of the whole poem. While the king is busy with the seven brides, his evil minister seizes power in the realm. Bahram Gur discovers that the affairs of Persia are in disarray, the treasury is empty and the neighboring rulers are posed to invade. He clears his mind first by going hunting. After returning from hunt, he sees a suspended dog from a tree. The owner of the dog, who was shepherd, tells the story of how his faithful watchdog had betrayed his flock to a she-wolf in return for sexual favors. He starts investigating the corrupt minister and from the multitude of complaints, he selects seven who tell him the injustice they have suffered. The minister is subsequently put to death and Bahram Gur restores justice and orders the seven pleasure-domes to be converted to fire temples for the pleasure of God. Bahram then goes hunting for the last time but mysteriously disappears. As a pun on words, while trying to hunt the wild ass (gûr) he instead finds his tomb (gûr‎

‎Photographer: MIHRAN IRANIAN, (Turkish - Armenian photographer in Constantinople), (1890-19??).‎

‎Original photograph of the Entrance of the Bosphorus, taken by M. Iranian. 'Entree du Bosphore. 97: M. Iranian.‎

‎Very Good French Original sepia-toned photograph printed in a period photograph paper. 19x25 cm. Descriptive text in French. Chipped and tear on margins. Iranian was born in 1890 in Constantinople, Istanbul. It is known that he established his studio in 1891 in Pera district of Constantinople - the center of Armenian cultural and political life. In 1895 he enters into partnership with another photographer by the name of Gugasyan. By 1900s the business seems to have wound down as the images marked with his studio signature don't exhibit any over elements of the new century. Of all the major Armenian studios from Istanbul, Iranian's photographs are the rarest, and less than 300 are known to have survived. Iranian's primary subject was the city of Constantinople, its picturesque landscape, architectural heritage, and the many types of artisans and workers that populated its streets. Using the latest photography techniques, which allowed for very rapid exposures, Iranian captured the bustle of the city streets with remarkable clarity. Teeming with life and movement these images have a remarkable immediacy and documentary veracity quite unlike similar views produced by other photographers of the period. The typical approach for many of Iranian's contemporaries such as Sebah & Joalier or Guillame Berggren was to achieve as clear a picture as possible with perfectly balanced compositions and highly visible details - the hallmark of a 'good' commercial photographer. In contrast, Iranian's street views are full of photographic 'ruptures' - blurred figures in movement, surprised glances of people caught unawares - which give his works the viscerality of snapshots. But above all, Iranian was a master at capturing the mood of a place. Catching the Ottoman capital on the brink of rapid transformation, the photographer aimed to record many of its ancient streets and quarters disappear or change the appearance. Thus, like the Parisian street photography of Atget, Iranian's images are 'nostalgic for the present' that is irrevocably slipping into the past. In his studio, the clientele had the choice of a large range of costumes and props through which the modern urbanite could slip into the role of some long-gone ethnic or street type and become a part of history. It is this sense of melancholy that gives Iranian's photographs their subtle emotional power. This is also perhaps the reason why he was ultimately not as successful as a commercial photographer. Modernity had captured the imagination of the people and the wistful romanticism of Iranian's markedly less spectacular images was fast going out of fashion. The small legacy he has left behind is nevertheless of significance in the history of Near-Easter photography. He was one of the rare Ottoman photographers with an individual and subjective approach, which deserves a proper evaluation.‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original 1/4 leather bdg. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 15 cm). In Ottoman script. [33], 186 p. Hegira 1286 = Gregorian 1869. Özege 4204. Second Edition. 'Alî 'Imâdu d-Dîn Nasîmî, (1369-1417), was a 14th-century Azeri or Iraqi-Turkmen, Hurûfi poet. Known mostly by his pen name (or takhallus) of Nesîmî, he composed one divan in Azerbaijani, one in Persian, and a number of poems in Arabic. He is considered one of the greatest Turkic mystical poets of the late 14th and early 15th centuries and one of the most prominent early divan masters in Turkic / Turkish literary history (the language used in this divan is close to Azerbaijani). Hurufism (Arabic: Hurufiyyah) was a Sufi doctrine based on the mysticism of letters (?urûf), which originated in Astrabad and spread to areas of western Persia and Anatolia in the late 14th and early 15th centuries.

‎[EARLY ANTI-KURDISH PROPAGANDA BY THE YOUNG TURKS] Kürdler: Siyasi ve içtimai tedkikat. [i.e. Kurds: A politic and social examination].‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) In contemporary black cloth. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). Occasionally minor stains and fading on pages. Otherwise a good copy. 384 p. It is a rare book written after the Constitutional Monarchy at the request of the Unionists to make propaganda about Kurds. It is one of the early detached texts about Kurds written in the Ottoman period. Upon the request of the Ittihad ve Terakki [i.e. Union and Progress] leaders, he began to work in 1912 for the newly established National Security Organization (Teskilât-i Mahsusa). He then continued his intelligence work with the IAMM and AMMU, in the name of which he did his fieldwork on the Anatolian Kurds and Turcoman (Turkmen) tribes. Habil Adem's (his pseudonym means in English 'Abel Adam') writing reflect -even more openly than those of his colleague Baha Said- the unionist ambition to collect the data considered necessary for its politics of social and demographic engineering, such as information on basic demographic realities, as well as social and cultural aspects. The obvious aim of this publication was to create public knowledge favorable to the nationalization project. His book on the Kurds, printed in 1918, immediately after WW 1, under the pseudonym of a fictitious German orientalist (Dr. Friç), allegedly only translated by Habil Adem, elaborated on a thesis that would gain leverage in the early Turkish Republic and become very prominent in the 1930s, namely that the Kurds were actually Turks and the Kurdish as an independent language did not exist. In the book's section on the religion of the Kurds, he makes two distinctions such as Muslim and non-Muslim Kurds and Sunni and Shiite Muslim Kurds. (Source: Writing Religion: The Making of Turkish Alevi Islam; Dressler, Marcus). Pelister worked in the translation office of the General Directorate of Security since 1908 and in the Turkmen Branch of the General Directorate of Tribes and Immigrants from 1913, and he personally assigned him to Talat Pasha, (1874-1921). He was very good at speaking English, German, and French languages, thus, he was involved in researches related to the Kurdish and Turkmen tribes with some delegations in Ottoman Turkey in Asia. The German original of this book never existed, neither did Dr. Fritsch from the Berlin Academy of Science. Years later, Celadet Bedirxan, a Kurdish intellectual, explained the mistakes that Naci Ismail made intentionally or unknowingly on the Kurdish culture, population, history, folklore, and language, with the letters he wrote to Mustafa Kemal and drew Mustafa Kemal's attention. This book was written probably by a commission with corrigenda and footnotes by Pelister. The book generally focuses on the historical geography of the Kurds. There is an effort to Turkify in the part that talks about the origins of the Kurds. In the introduction, detailed information about Iranian and Iraqi Kurds is given and Sharafnâma is criticized. Although detailed information is available on many Kurdish tribes (Leks, Sividis, Arukhs, etc) in Anatolia and Mesopotamia, most of these are dubious.

‎Mirza Makhdum between two worlds: A Safavid Sadr in the Ottoman world and his refutation of the Qizilbash beliefs.‎

‎New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 104 p. Mîrzâ Makhdûm was one of the most interesting characters of Ottoman history. He was a high-ranking bureaucrat in the Safavid State, but after taking refuge in the Ottoman Empire, he began a career as a judge in Diyarbakir, Tripoli and Haramayn in the late sixteenth century. He lived with a dilemma not only in the countries in which he lived, but also in his family life. Since, his mother's side is Sunni, his father's side is Shi'a. His work on the Qizilbash titled Al-Nawâkid li-Bunyân al-Rawâfid is crucial to understand the era. This study indicates the identity crisis of Mîrzâ Makhdûm via investigating the Sunni-Shia conflict through the eyes of a scholar and tries to understand how a scholar from Iran has reached high ranks in the Ottoman Empire. Also, this study provides an exciting opportunity to understand the Safavid policy in the sixteenth century, the bureaucracy in the ilmiye class and the attitude of the Ottoman bureaucrats towards the Safavid scholars.‎

This is the first critical depth study of Meher Baba (1894-1969) to appear since his death in 1969. The author's approach is not sectarian, and throws new light upon events relating to the Iranian mystic. Part One gives a biographical overview. Part Two describes Meher Baba's teaching. Part Three affords a comparison with the Zoroastrian Kaivan school of the Mughal era. Part Four profiles critics and supporters of Meher Baba, and locates obscured data contradicting the well known dismissal by Paul Brunton. An annotated bibliography is also supplied. Meher Baba (Merwan Sheriar Irani; The Awakener), was an Indian spiritual master who claimed to be his era's Avatar, or God in human form. A major spiritual figure of the 20th century, he was the central figure around the "Meher Baba Movement", and estimates of his following range from the hundreds of thousands to the millions. His followers were concentrated in India, but with a significant number in the United States, Europe and Australia.‎
